The Trump administration has released a third tranche of previously classified UAP files, adding dozens of new documents, photographs and videos to the government’s rapidly expanding archive of unexplained sightings.
The materials were quietly uploaded to the Department of War’s website on Friday morning and include a series of cases that investigators were unable to definitively explain, leaving the nature of the phenomena unresolved.
Among the newly released records is a 2025 FBI report describing a video captured by a citizen in the northeastern US.
According to the witness, a bright object hovered over their backyard as a ‘brilliant red sphere’ roughly the size of a basketball.
Another never-before-seen video shows what officials described as a ‘plasma-like sphere’ hovering above a pond at an undisclosed location in the US, appearing to shift shape and brightness as it moved.
Friday’s release also includes dozens of long-hidden CIA files about mysterious sightings, revealing that the agency assembled a panel of top scientists to investigate ‘flying saucers’ amid fears the reports could clog military warning systems and spark mass hysteria.
