U.S. releases 40 new declassified UFO files, including 19 videos

The U.S. Department of Defense has released a fourth installment of declassified files concerning unidentified flying objects (UFOs), commonly referred to as UAPs (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena). This latest batch includes 40 new files, with 19 of them being video recordings of alleged sightings.

This release is part of a broader government effort to declassify such information, initiated following President Donald Trump's pledge to make certain governmental archives public. Previous batches of files were released on May 22 and June 12, with this fourth set continuing the process. The files cover a range of reported incidents and phenomena.

the Pantex plant is a strategic national security facility that houses the main facilities for the assembly, disassembly, maintenance, and life extension of nuclear weapons.

Among the newly disclosed documents is a report detailing an unusual sighting near the Pantex nuclear plant in Texas during September 2015. The object observed was described as moving at a slow speed, estimated between 10 to 15 miles per hour. The Pantex plant is identified as a critical national security facility involved in the maintenance and assembly of nuclear weapons.

The Department of Defense stated that the materials included in these releases pertain to "unresolved cases," meaning the government has not been able to definitively determine the nature of the observed phenomena. The files span various periods, including historical accounts from the 1940s, such as a 1949 conference regarding "green fireballs" near Los Alamos National Laboratory, as well as data from NASA missions like Apollo 12 and Gemini 7, where astronauts reported strange sightings.
