A new set of videos has been released by the Department of War as part of President Donald Trump’s promise to open the so-called UFO files accumulated by the United States over decades.
The new round of declassified “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena” files includes military videos, pages of historical government documents and more.

“The release includes infrared footage allegedly captured by U.S. military platforms in the Middle East, Cold War-era investigation files involving mysterious ‘green orbs,’ a CIA report describing a glowing object spotted in the Soviet Union in 1973, and audio files of astronaut accounts from the Apollo 12 mission,” Fox News reported.
Of course, there are no definitive answers to the “unresolved” cases.
Trump has said he’s working toward transparency.
“The Department of War is in lockstep with President Trump to bring unprecedented transparency regarding our government’s understanding of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena,” Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said. “These files, hidden behind classifications, have long fueled justified speculation — and it’s time the American people see it for themselves.”
The report explained:
One video, titled “4 UAP Formation Iran 26 Aug 2022 over water [CALLSIGN],” was assessed as likely originating from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within U.S. Central Command in 2022.

Another, “Syrian UAP instant acceleration,” appears to show an unidentified object rapidly accelerating while under infrared tracking in 2021.

A third video, “UAP USO Formation CALLSIGN,” was also assessed as originating from a military infrared sensor platform.
The objects variously are called “green orbs,” “discs,” “fireballs” and more.
