US government releases UFO sighting reports - 'Orbs swarming in all directions'5 hours ago Share Save Add as preferred on GoogleRebecka Pieder Watch: More UFO footage declassified by US governmentThe Pentagon released scores of UFO files on Friday with descriptions of reported sightings of orbs, discs and fireballs spanning 80 years. Witnesses described seeing "green orbs, discs and fireballs" dating as far back as 1948, the files show. More recently, a senior US intelligence officer said he saw "countless orange orbs swarming in all directions" last year rendering him "speechless".

The fresh batch of materials includes a half dozen documents, a handful of audio recordings and 51 videos, including one of an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) being shot to bits. The circumstances are unexplained. The files are the second set released after an order this year from President Donald Trump.

The Details

The Pentagon uploaded the first set of 161 files on May 8, promising there would be more to come. One of the documents released on Friday is a 116-page Armed Forces Special Weapons Program report from 1948-1950 that said witnesses had recounted 209 sightings of unidentified objects - orbs and other objects the US government now calls "unidentified anomalous phenomena" (UAP). The report includes accounts of a series of sightings and investigations in Sandia, New Mexico, where witnesses described how UFO's manoeuvred, flew away and disappeared but then exploded.

In another document the unnamed "senior U. S intelligence officer" provided his first-hand account of seeing phenomena from a military helicopter in 2025 at a location listed as "western United States". He described spotting mysterious "orange orbs flaring up and down" when investigating "loud thuds heard in the mountains" on a test range where others had spotted UFOs in preceding days.

The "series of close UAP encounters" lasted for more than an hour, he said. The UAP were "super-hot," low to the ground, and moving at high speed. "They were oval-shaped, orange with a white or yellow centre, and emitted light in all directions," the officer reported.

What Experts Say

He said the swarm appeared to coalesce as they flared up and down for several minutes, "forming a distinct triangle before vanishing". He said he did not take any photos because he was too focused on "assessing what it was and whether it posed a threat. "The files do not draw any definitive conclusions about the existence of extraterrestrial life or provide any evidence of alien technology.

US officials have said that people can decide for themselves. In a statement following the first release of files, President Trump said that "with these new Documents and Videos, the people can decide for themselves, "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? " Have Fun and Enjoy!
