The Pentagon on Friday published a new collection of materials related to UFOs, now commonly referred to as unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs).
Among the released documents is a report from a military pilot who described encountering an object that was “unlike anything I had seen” during nearly three decades of service.
The latest release contains 40 files, including 14 documents, 19 videos, four audio recordings, and three images.
These materials were compiled from several US government agencies, including the Pentagon, NASA, the CIA, the FBI, and the Department of Energy.
The files were made available on the Pentagon’s official UAP website as part of an executive order signed by President Donald Trump earlier this year requiring the public release of such records.
Like previous disclosures, the new release combines mostly unredacted historical records with more recent reports and videos documenting unexplained aerial incidents.
One of the most significant documents, provided by the Department of Energy, describes an unidentified object entering the restricted airspace above the Pantex nuclear weapons facility near Amarillo, Texas, in September 2015.
According to the report, two security officers pursued the object while the facility was placed under lockdown.
The officers were unable to catch the object but stopped to observe it more closely. They reported that it was completely silent and that, even when viewed through binoculars, they could not detect any visible propulsion system. After hovering in view for about one to two minutes, the object continued north and left the area.
