The Pentagon has published a second batch of UFO files, which includes dozens of declassified photos, videos and documents related to alleged sightings.The new files are housed on the Pentagon’s website, which has received more than 1 billion hits since the government released its first trove of UFO files on May 8, agency spokesperson Sean Parnell said Friday. The Pentagon and other agencies are “actively working” on a third release, which will “be announced in the near future,” he added.The latest release included a report from a U.S. intelligence officer who described seeing “two large orbs flare up" near his helicopter in late 2025. The orbs were “oval-shaped, orange with a white or yellow center, and emitted light in all directions,” he said.The officer said he and the pilots later saw the orbs appear over fighter jets that were nearby.The Pentagon has released another batch of declassified files related to 'unidentified anomalous phenomena' (Defense Department)“I remarked to the pilots that it seemed the same orbs we had encountered were now ‘chasing’ the fighters,” he wrote. “We also observed orange orbs flaring up and down around us for several minutes, forming a distinct triangle before vanishing.”The Pentagon also released a 116-page document detailing a series of sightings and investigations in Sandia, New Mexico, between 1948 and 1950. The file contains “209 sightings of ‘green orbs,’ ‘discs,’ and ‘fireballs’” reported near a military base, according to the agency. “Witnesses reported unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) maneuvering, flying out of sight, disappearing, or exploding. The documents also include the results of contemporary investigations into residual copper powder found in some areas where sightings were reported,” the Pentagon said. Some of these investigations helped fuel Project Grudge, a brief U.S. Air Force investigation into UFO sightings that spanned just a few months in 1949. This is a breaking news story.
