NASA boss reveals unsettling reality behind newly released UFO files

The head of NASA says the UFO files expose years of unexplained encounters that government agencies failed to seriously investigate. 

Jared Isaacman told FOX News that the declassified videos, photos and documents reveal strange objects captured by military sensors around the world.

‘What’s being surfaced isn’t crashed ships or alien bodies, but real unexplained phenomena,’ the NASA administrator said.

Isaacman said many of the cases remained buried inside government databases for decades until President Donald Trump ordered agencies to revisit old records, search classified archives and publicly release what they found.

The comments came after the Trump administration released two batches of previously classified UFO records under a new disclosure initiative aimed at uncovering unexplained aerial incidents hidden inside federal archives.

Officials said additional releases from agencies, including the CIA, are expected in the coming weeks as pressure grows for greater transparency surrounding UFO investigations.

For decades, many UFO-related records remained locked away due to Cold War secrecy, national security concerns and fears about exposing sensitive military technology detected by radar and surveillance systems.

Critics have long argued that successive administrations avoided publicly acknowledging unexplained cases out of concern over public backlash, institutional embarrassment and growing conspiracy theories surrounding UFO investigations.

‘I think the President has really got government agencies now taking this seriously, to go look at the files and bring the data to light, and he’s putting it all out for everyone to analyze,’ Isaacman told Fox News. 

‘This is citizen science right now. Take a look at our files, tell us what you think.’

He added that he is not aware of any files containing information about alien bodies or spaceships, but ‘observations from decades past, from some of our adversaries and potentially some of our allies, essentially saying, “We saw something, we documented it, and we kept it buried in a file somewhere,’ are now being made public.”‘

Chilling bodycam reveals UFO-linked Air Force general met shadowy Pentagon unit before he vanished… and his perplexed wife’s reaction

Newly released bodycam footage has revealed a shocking meeting between a missing Air Force general and members of the Pentagon‘s shadowy space unit just hours before his disappearance. 

Police officers in New Mexico were recording as they spoke with a witness who allegedly had dinner with William Neil McCasland the night before he vanished without a trace on February 27.

McCasland is a retired Air Force Major General who has been linked to both US nuclear research and classified UFO-related programs during his career.

The bodycam footage, obtained by the Law&Crime Network, captured a phone call with an unidentified woman who said McCasland met with her and members of the US Space Force at a restaurant in Albuquerque around 6pm local time.

Officially, the Space Force equips the military for operations in space, protecting satellites and other assets from threats, but the newest branch of the armed forces also tracks unexplained space objects, such as UFOs, as part of national security.

The unnamed caller claimed she worked with McCasland, who was still a member of the Kirtland Partnership, a nonprofit working to protect and expand Kirtland Air Force Base, a major military research facility and nuclear weapons lab.

Previously, McCasland’s wife, Susan Wilkerson, had posted online that the retired general only had ‘very commonly held clearances’ since retiring from the Air Force 13 years ago, but the new witness revealed that the 68-year-old was still a key figure in secretive government circles.

‘He was the head of Air Force Research Lab to the point the man’s names are in the UFO documents that are fixed to be released,’ the witness claimed. ‘He’s in that depth, so he has a very high security clearance.’

However, the woman who met with McCasland said something seemed wrong during the meeting with Space Force and the retired general was not acting like himself that night.

‘I was shocked this morning when I saw the alert because what I noticed Thursday evening [February 26] is that he wasn’t his usual self. He was kind of spacey and quiet and you know that that happens with people.’

The newly obtained bodycam footage also revealed the conversation between officers from the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office and Wilkerson, revealing that McCasland’s disappearance caught her completely off guard.

However, she noted that the retired general was just prescribed a new medication hours before he vanished, which was supposed to help battle several symptoms he was having that may have been signaling cognitive decline.

‘Today he had taken a drug that the doctor prescribed last night that was supposed to help him sleep,’ she said in the bodycam recording obtained by Law&Crime Sidebar with Jesse Weber.

‘With weight gain, he’s lost about 20 pounds for no reason, and with anxiety, today he woke up and said, “Well, I have got better sleep, but it’s like the after effects of a bad hangover. I’m just foggy. I can’t get any motivation to do anything.”‘ 

McCasland was reportedly seeing doctors for his physical and mental difficulties. Before police arrived at the home, Wilkerson had told 911 dispatchers the military veteran feared his brain was ‘deteriorating.’

He was last seen leaving his home without his phone, wearable devices or any identification and his wife told authorities she believed McCasland ‘had planned not to be found.’

Trump Declares War On UFO Secrecy & the Deep State… A New Executive Order May Be Only Days Away! 

The fight for transparency over UFO and UAP disclosures may be entering a whole new phase. Today on Stinchfield, author Kent Heckenlively joins us with explosive claims about what could be coming next from President Trump.

Heckenlively, co-author of the new book Catastrophic Disclosure, revealed sources close to President Trump are telling him a major executive order is now being prepared that will blow the lid off decades of secrecy surrounding UFO and UAP programs.

According to Heckenlively, the order would reportedly nullify government NDAs tied to UFO and UAP research, allowing scientists, military contractors, and insiders to finally come forward without fear of prosecution. It would also reportedly create a pathway to immunity for individuals who may have violated laws while participating in secret programs tied to recovered craft, advanced technology, or hidden government operations.

Heckenlively’s book is a deeply investigative look at what many believe is the Deep State’s role in hiding these programs for decades, while also examining whether the American people have been subjected to a long-running government psy-op surrounding UFOs and UAPs.

Argentine Horse Falls Victim to Cattle Mutilation Phenomenon?

An Argentine farmer is understandably unnerved after one of his horses seemingly fell victim to the cattle mutilation phenomenon. According to a local media report (warning: graphic image), the strange case occurred earlier this month near the community of Colonia Chica when the man discovered the downed animal and immediately suspected something was amiss. What initially left him scratching his head were the horse’s wounds, which consisted of cuts said to be “surgical and precise.”

Additionally, despite various parts of the animal’s body being sliced and diced, there was nary a drop of blood around the creature that had been completely exsanguinated. Also baffling to the farmer was that it appeared the horse was stunned by the deadly attack, with no signs that it put up a fight. “The animal did not defend itself or have any reaction,” he observed, “they always kick or leave a trace of the struggle.”

As if all of that were not weird enough, the farmer noted that there was no indication of a human presence, such as footprints or tire tracks, at the scene of the slaying. Yet another hallmark of the cattle mutilation phenomenon, the man marveled that “it’s very strange” that typically voracious scavenger animals have refused to feast on the creature’s carcass. Finally, as in cases in the United States and elsewhere, experts and authorities are bewildered by what happened to the farmer’s horse, and the perpetrator is unlikely to be brought to justice.

UFO files reveal new evidence of secret invasion by mysterious silver spheres

The Trump Administration released a fresh wave of UFO files last week, including never-before-seen footage of mysterious metallic spheres flying throughout the world.

The latest batch in the White House‘s push for UFO disclosure arrived Friday, including 46 videos Congress has been demanding the Pentagon release for months.

Some of the clearest images seen were of strange orbs or silver spheres appearing to float or travel at extreme speeds over mountains, oceans and even military targets.

Those mysterious sightings add to the growing number of reports and physical encounters humans have allegedly had with the ball-like objects that have seemingly invaded the entire planet.

In fact, a study from the crowdsourced platform Enigma, which allows people to report sightings of UFOs, revealed more than 8,000 sightings of orbs across the US between December 2022 and June 2025.

These reports did not even include the startling recovery of a metallic sphere seen floating above South America last year before crashing to Earth in Buga, Colombia.

The new footage released last week also matched hundreds of specific reports from witnesses who have seen ‘metallic orbs’ with no visible engine quickly moving through the sky.

Despite releasing the new information, the US government has not publicly commented on where these spheres are believed to have come from, what their intentions are or if the military has recovered any of these objects.

Among the most startling new videos released by the Pentagon was one captured by a US military satellite on April 12, 2021.

US Central Command, which is responsible for military operations in the Middle East, Central Asia and parts of Africa, captured nearly five minutes of color video as the satellite chased a large silver sphere over an unknown mountain range.

The UFO could be seen traveling at high speed and moving effortlessly above the terrain despite having no clear signs of an engine or way of flying that fast.

Another sphere-shaped craft was reported to the Pentagon in 2024, when another military satellite captured infrared video of the object over a large body of water repeatedly pulsating with a blinding light.

The satellite followed the UFO as it appeared to rotate and then began flashing brightly, giving off rays of light while flying low over the water at high speed.

Compared to the UFO seen flying over the mountains, the pulsating orb appeared to change shape and moved erratically as the satellite struggled to keep the image centered for more than three minutes.

So far, the Pentagon has released over 200 files related to UAPs, which have long been an object of public fascination, following the directive from Trump.

Officials noted, however, that many of the records lacked a fully verified chain of custody, raising questions about how the materials were obtained and authenticated.

Highlights From 2nd Batch Of Declassified UFO Files Include A UAP Shootdown

The Pentagon’s second batch of declassified UFO files released on May 22 includes videos such as Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) being shot down over the Great Lakes and audio of astronauts witnessing a series of unexplained phenomena.

​Dozens of documents were cleared for release on Friday, adding to the previous document dump on May 8, which revealed that Apollo 11 astronauts reported seeing a “sizable” object near the moon.

​The Epoch Times’ Jacki Thrapp offers the following highlights from a partial review of the newly released files.

UAP Shot Down

The U.S. Air Force shot down a balloon-shaped UAP over Lake Huron, one of the Great Lakes located between the United States and Canada, on Feb. 12, 2023.

The video, which the War Department said was likely taken by an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform, showed the UAP being struck and “fragmenting in a radial displacement pattern that suggests a high-energy event.”

The War Department did not reveal what fell from the object.

Officials did not share if any attempts were made to recover the fragments.

The Epoch Times reached out to the Department of War for additional information.

UAP Experts React to Pentagon’s Release of Files

The Pentagon’s major public release of UFO/UAP files has shone a light on numerous aerial encounters, including astronaut accounts that continue to resist easy explanation. Space.com recently reached out to several specialists in the field to share their reactions and analysis. Alejandro Rojas, a longtime UFO researcher and consultant for Enigma Labs, described the release as a step toward transparency, yet it had an unfinished quality. “There are many cases with minimal context, missing sensor data, and little accompanying analysis, as if the priority was getting something out the door rather than something useful,” he remarked.

Mark Rodeghier, scientific director of the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies, views the release as a useful beginning, while noting that “short videos and unresolved case summaries can be intriguing, but without the supporting metadata, investigative history and analysis, they are hard to evaluate.” He continued: “The real test will be whether future tranches provide complete case files, not just provocative fragments.” Michael Gold, who served on NASA’s UAP Independent Study Team, framed the release as part of a broader cultural shift toward serious discussion of anomalous phenomena. He argued that investigating unexplained events should not carry stigma, particularly when the goal is better scientific understanding. “I expect we are at the beginning, not an ending, of a very important moment in the history of science,” he commented.

And we may not have to wait long for a second set of UFO files to be released, as Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell announced on X on Monday that new materials are “actively being processed.” Congressional representative Tim Burchett reportedly said that while the first drop was big, “in comparison to what is coming, they will be a drop in the bucket.”

Argentine Lawmaker Proposes UFO Program

In a testament to the global nature of the intrigue surrounding UFOs at the moment, an Argentine lawmaker has introduced a bill for his province to establish a UFO program to study anomalous aerial events and phenomena. According to a local media report, Victor Sanzberro put forward the proposal in the Entre Ríos Senate last week. Dubbed the Provincial Program for Registration of Anomalous Phenomena (PRFA), the project would create a proverbial UFO hotline that anyone in the province could use to report anomalous aerial or aquatic activity, which would then be examined by an enlisted panel of experts and made available to the public.

A social media post from Sanzberro announcing the bill explained that the purpose of the program is for “fishermen, islanders, pilots, and citizens to have an official and respectful space where to report what they see in our skies and rivers.” Clearly a savvy politician, the lawmaker mused that “this initiative seeks to transform decades of civil research into a real science tourism and development opportunity for the region.” To that end, the UFO program would be based in the city of Victoria, which just so happens to be the community Sanzberro represents. “We have to work together to improve this project,” he declared, “and make Entre Rios the first province in the country with a public, serious, and transparent record” on anomalous phenomenon.

Sanzberro’s proposed UFO program is the latest in a trend that just might rival Sasquatch calling contests when it comes to paranormal concepts currently spreading through the zeitgeist. Last week, a British lawmaker found himself the subject of national headlines after he suggested creating a committee to look at anomalous aerial phenomena around a proposed airport. Meanwhile, here in America, proposals for the formation of a UFO group have recently been put forward in multiple state legislatures, including Vermont and New Hampshire, with more likely to follow as the concept and the phenomenon itself continue to captivate lawmakers and the public.

Trump Delivers 160+ UFO Files — Burchett Calls Out Deep State Slow-Walk as Congress Reacts

Multiple members of Congress admitted “I don’t know” when pressed by The Gateway Pundit on Capitol Hill about the more than 160 never-before-seen UFO files the Pentagon released on May 8, 2026, under President Donald Trump’s direct order.

The historic declassification, the first tranche under the new Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters, made public military reports, photographs, videos, and astronaut accounts spanning the 1940s to recent years. The files detail rotating saucer-shaped craft over Cold War Europe, metallic elliptical objects hovering motionless, glowing orbs with impossible maneuvers, and anomalous lights near Apollo missions that continue to defy conventional explanation.

Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., one of Congress’s most vocal and consistent advocates for UAP transparency for years, pulled no punches:

“The deep state’s fighting the president on release…Some of our alphabet agencies are slow walking a lot of information. It’s about power. It’s about control,” Burchett, R-Tenn., told TGP in an exclusive interview.

Burchett, who has long pushed for full disclosure, including introducing the UAP Transparency Act and repeatedly grilling Pentagon officials in hearings, warned that fuller releases could force the government to “admit that they’ve been lying to us all these years” and may involve a “cover-up of zero energy.” He praised Trump for honoring a personal commitment on the issue.

The release includes phenomena strikingly similar to the legendary WWII “Foo Fighters.”

Fresh wave of UFO files to be released after Trump sparked chaos with alien picture

The second phase of the Trump Administration’s UFO disclosure is underway, with officials saying the next batch of files is expected to be released ‘very soon.’

Chief Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell announced Monday on X that the materials are currently ‘actively being processed’ for publication.

The first release, published on May 8, included never-before-seen photos, videos and government documents tied to unidentified anomalous phenomena, also known as UAPs.

Lawmakers previously noted that the initial disclosure was only the beginning, teasing that far more explosive material remained hidden from the public.

Tennessee Representative Tim Burchett, one of Congress’ most outspoken advocates for UFO transparency, fueled speculation after the May 8 release by claiming: ‘The 1st drop will be big, but in comparison to what is coming, they will be a drop in the bucket.’

‘I would say “Holy Crap” is coming,’ Burchett added.

The latest update arrived just one day after President Donald Trump posted an AI-generated image of himself standing beside a handcuffed alien at a US military base, further intensifying online discussion surrounding the administration’s disclosure campaign.

The surreal image, shared on Trump’s Truth Social account, showed the president and his security detail escorting the extraterrestrial figure across the tarmac while armed military personnel looked on.

News of the second release flooded social media, where one user said: ‘Finally! The government’s processing UFOs faster than my laptop processes a software update.

‘Either we’re getting disclosure or the world’s longest episode of coming soon. Either way, grab your tinfoil hat, things are getting interesting.’

Others, however, are not sold on the notion that the files will be released soon.

One X use posted: ‘The phrase “actively being processed” is classic government doublespeak, suggesting momentum while committing to absolutely nothing, keeping the UFO hype alive without releasing a single page. 

‘It’s the perfect way to acknowledge public curiosity without ever having to deliver, turning transparency into an endless process rather than an event.’
