The Pentagon publishes a new batch of files with more than 40 videos about UFOs
The second batch of files related to investigations that address the issue of UFOs has already been released by the Pentagon for public consultation
As part of the commitment assumed by President Donald Trump to publish files related to investigations that address the issue of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), a term now used to refer to UFOs, the Pentagon shared a second batch of files that include more than 40 videos on the controversial topic.
Although there was great expectation to know the information offered by the government, the content of the first 160 files published on May 8 was disappointing, since most of them correspond to unresolved cases, that is, situations where the US government could not definitively determine the nature of the observed phenomena.
However, through a statement issued by the Department of Defense, the initiative to make information available to citizens that previous administrations inexplicably refused to do so was highlighted.
"The American people can now instantly access the federal government's declassified files on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP). The most recent videos, photos and original documents on UAP from across the United States government are in one place, without the need for authorization," part of the letter states.
In this new release of documents and audiovisual material, more than 40 videos requested by legislators stand out and two of them in particular stand out from the rest.
The first was delivered at the request of Republicans Anna Paulina Luna, representative of Florida; and Matt Gaetz, former representative for the same entity.
These are images of an infrared sensor emerging from a foreign object, which the All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office previously identified as a commercial lighting balloon.
Regarding the second video, it shows a UAP shot down after the sighting of a Chinese spy balloon flying through US airspace very close to Lake Huron on the Canadian border.
The government's promise is that all files will be published gradually on war.gov/UFO, but the task seems daunting, since the Department of Defense is allegedly still in the process of reviewing "tens of millions of documents."
