The Trump administration released a fresh batch of UFO files on Friday, exposing dozens of reports and videos previously hidden from the public.
The fifth tranche includes chilling accounts of enormous triangular craft, mysterious high-speed orbs and even a metal sphere allegedly carrying a human body.
Among the most extraordinary reports is a military pilot’s account of a silent, 500-foot triangular object that swept over Bagram Airfield, a US-operated base in Afghanistan, in 2002.
The witness told agents that he was stargazing with a colleague at approximately 4.30am when the stars suddenly began disappearing above them.
‘It appeared as if something huge went overhead,’ the FBI interview summary states.
The pilot described the object as an equilateral triangle that moved silently across the sky at a steady speed and altitude, despite displaying no visible lights.
Another file recounts claims that a large metal sphere crashed into the center of Brazil’s Rio de Janeiro in 1963, gouging a 13ft-deep hole.
The mysterious object reportedly had window-shaped openings covered with thick glass, and contained a human body dressed in heavy clothing bearing inscriptions that could not be deciphered.
However, the records preserve witness statements and media reports rather than verified government findings, and they offer no evidence that either object was extraterrestrial.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said on Friday: ‘The Department of War is in lockstep with President Trump to bring unprecedented transparency regarding our government’s understanding of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena.
‘These files, hidden behind classifications, have long fueled justified speculation, and it’s time the American people see it for themselves.
‘This release of declassified documents demonstrates the Trump Administration’s earnest commitment to unprecedented transparency.’
One of the records, a three-page FBI interview summary, details the pilot’s alleged encounter with the 500ft triangular craft over Bagram.
He estimated that the equilateral object was traveling at around 173mph.
The second pilot reportedly witnessed it too, asking, ‘Did you see that?’ as it passed overhead.
The witness said he did not report the encounter at the time and later failed to find anything that explained what they had observed.
