The Pentagon made public a second collection of previously secret documents on Friday detailing reported encounters with unidentified flying objects, featuring witness accounts of mysterious green orbs, disc-shaped craft, and unexplained fireballs.
Following President Donald Trump’s directive, this latest disclosure comes two weeks after the initial release on May 8. This continues a tradition of presidential transparency regarding government UFO records that started in the late 1970s.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth noted that these materials – comprising documents, photographs, and video footage of what officials term “unidentified anomalous phenomena” – have sparked public curiosity for decades.
“It’s time the American people see it for themselves,” he said in a statement.
Among the 222 newly released files, one particularly detailed document spans 116 pages and chronicles a sequence of reported encounters and official investigations at a classified military installation in Sandia, New Mexico, spanning from 1948 to 1950.
“This file contains 209 sightings of ‘green orbs’, ‘discs’, and ‘fireballs’ reported near the military base,” the Defense Department said.
Analysts reviewing the initial document release found fresh footage of previously documented incidents but noted the materials provided no definitive proof of alien technology or visitors from other worlds.
