The Pentagon Has Declassified Another UFO File, Releasing Videos Showing Mysterious Orbs Hovering Over the Middle East and the Pacific Ocean

The release follows an executive order signed by U.S. President Donald Trump earlier this year, which initiated a five-phase process to publish hundreds of UFO images and documents. According to the BBC, the new footage includes a video from 2021 shot over the Gulf of Oman, showing a dark "cold orb" about 1.2 meters in diameter that moves erratically, resembling a fast-flying housefly at first glance. Another video from 2025, filmed in the Middle East, captures a round orb moving in a straight line over what appears to be a residential area.

The documents also include testimony from a former military pilot who reported seeing lights in the sky during an October 2023 flight between Boston and Dublin. The pilot said the white lights were initially dim, gradually brightened, then faded out; some remained stationary while others moved in straight lines and occasionally changed direction. He observed various versions of these lights at least 10 times over the past three years.

Footage from 2019 over the Pacific Ocean shows a black orb appearing and then disappearing from view, visibly trembling as it slowly drifted from left to right upon emergence. The video description notes that a sensor captured the images but that the screen was recorded with a handheld device, which could explain the trembling.
