The Pentagon has unveiled a new collection of declassified files and videos concerning unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), formerly known as UFOs. This latest release comprises 53 documents and 10 images from agencies including the CIA, FBI, NASA, and the Department of Defense, alongside six video clips and three audio recordings from NASA.

Witnesses described the movement of the spheres as completely silent, smooth, and parallel as if flying in formation or connected.

Several video segments capture spherical objects moving across the sky. One notable encounter from July 2025, titled "Northeastern Orb Sighting," depicts two bright lights moving in perfect unison, described by witnesses as "completely silent, smooth, and parallel as if flying in formation or connected." Another video, "Orbs Over the Pond" from October 2024, shows a glowing object resembling a plasma sphere hovering over a lake, its shape and brightness fluctuating.

The released documents also detail a series of strange events in the western United States in October 2023, where witnesses reported seeing "streams of light moving in groups" and "red streams of light that accelerated instantly and moved in coordinated horizontal formations." One account describes smaller spheres "emerging from a large orange stream of light," likened by another to "grapes popping out of a basketball."

Additionally, a July 2008 CIA report is included, detailing a sighting of a disc-shaped object with a hollow center and a rotating light string beneath it above Harare International Airport in Zimbabwe. The recent declassifications are partly a result of an executive order signed by President Donald Trump, mandating increased transparency from the Pentagon regarding UAP documents.
