Pentagon releases fourth wave of declassified UFO files, including new videos, audio and military encounters

The Pentagon has released its fourth batch of declassified files on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs), adding dozens of new documents, videos, audio recordings and images to its growing public archive as the federal government’s unprecedented disclosure effort continues.
The July 10 release includes 40 newly declassified files—14 documents, 19 videos, four audio recordings and three images—drawn from agencies including the Department of War, NASA, CIA, FBI and Department of Energy. The material is now available through the Pentagon’s online UAP archive at WAR.GOV/UFO, with officials promising additional releases in the coming months.
The latest disclosure is part of the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE), launched after Donald Trump ordered the declassification of selected government records involving unexplained aerial phenomena.
Among the newly released reports is a 2015 incident near the Pantex nuclear weapons facility outside Amarillo, Texas. Security officers described pursuing a silent, diamond-shaped object that hovered near the installation before departing the area. Investigators concluded the object posed no apparent threat and did not approach sensitive assets, but they were unable to determine its identity.
Another report details a 2019 military encounter in which an experienced aviator said the object exhibited flight characteristics “unlike anything I had seen” during nearly three decades of flying for the Air Force and Navy. According to the report, the rectangular object accelerated so rapidly that it outran the aircraft’s tracking system before disappearing.
The release also includes several recent military videos recorded over the Atlantic Ocean, Yellow Sea and East China Sea. One 2025 recording captured over the Yellow Sea shows military sensors tracking what analysts described as an area resembling a six-pointed star, while another video documents an unidentified object moving over the East China Sea for several minutes. Additional footage includes a mysterious blob-like object over the Atlantic and infrared recordings of unexplained aerial encounters.
Historical files stretch back more than 75 years, including records from Project Sign, one of the U.S. government’s earliest UFO investigations, and transcripts from a 1949 scientific conference in Los Alamos, New Mexico, where leading physicists debated unexplained “green fireballs” observed near the nation’s nuclear research facilities.
Despite the dramatic footage and eyewitness accounts, the Pentagon emphasized that the files remain unresolved cases. Officials said the released material reflects incidents for which investigators have been unable to reach a definitive conclusion about the nature or origin of the observed phenomena.
Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said the Department of War and its partner agencies are already preparing the next release of declassified UAP records, with additional disclosures expected on a rolling basis.
