This latest release features a report from a U.S. intelligence officer who described seeing 'two large orbs flare up' near his helicopter in late 2025, characterizing them as oval-shaped, orange with a white or yellow center, and emitting light. The officer further reported observing these orbs appearing over nearby fighter jets, noting they seemed to be 'chasing' the aircraft, and later witnessed orange orbs forming a distinct triangle before vanishing. A 116-page document included in the release details 209 sightings of 'green orbs,' 'discs,' and 'fireballs' reported near a military base in Sandia, New Mexico, between 1948 and 1950. Investigations into these Sandia sightings involved reports of unidentified anomalous phenomena maneuvering, disappearing, or exploding, with some findings contributing to Project Grudge, a brief U.S. Air Force investigation in 1949.
