Pentagon Releases Fifth Batch of Declassified UFO Files and VideosPreviousNext

The Pentagon has released a fifth batch of 41 declassified files, videos, and images related to unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), spanning from 1950 to the present. These include reports of unexplained sightings across the US and internationally, such as a silent 500-foot triangular object over Afghanistan and mysterious lights captured by military sensors. The documents, contributed by multiple agencies, are publicly accessible through the Pentagon's UFO archive, though no evidence confirms extraterrestrial origins.
