The Department of War on Friday released a second round of declassified Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena files, including three newly published military videos and hundreds of pages of historical government documents detailing decades of unexplained sightings.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.Officials said the materials remain “unresolved cases,” meaning investigators could not determine the nature of the phenomena due to limited or inconclusive data. The Trump administration has framed the effort as part of a push for transparency surrounding government knowledge of UAPs, commonly referred to as UFOs.
“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 in a statement. “These files, hidden behind classifications, have long fueled justified speculation — and it’s time the American people see it for themselves.”
