Donald Trump's administration has released a new wave of UFO files, including documents, photographs and 46 previously unreleased videos that were requested by US lawmakers.
The materials were published on the official website of the Department of War and include audio from the Apollo 12 mission, where astronauts report mysterious objects during their stay in space.
The files also contain reports of glowing orange spheres near a military helicopter, unusual "fireballs" in New Mexico, and intelligence documents describing unidentified aerial phenomena near a Soviet weapons testing area.
The release also includes the long-awaited collection of 46 military UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena) videos, requested last month by the US Congress.
The footage includes "Tic Tac"-shaped objects being tracked by the US Coast Guard, luminous spheres over Afghanistan, unidentified objects emerging from the ocean, and UAVs moving at high speed near military aircraft over the Persian Gulf, East China Sea, and restricted US airspace.
One of the strongest claims relates to a report that a US F-16 fighter jet shot down a UAP over Lake Huron in February 2023 with an AIM-9X missile.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said the release is part of the Trump administration's push for "unprecedented transparency" on the US government's knowledge of unidentified aerial phenomena.
"These hidden files have fueled justified speculation for years, and it's time for the American public to see them for themselves," he said.
The files relate to a March 2026 request by eight members of Congress, who sought access to 51 potentially UFO-related materials.
However, authorities acknowledged that many of the documents do not have a fully verified chain of origin, raising questions about how the materials were obtained and authenticated.
Trump also reacted on the Truth Social network, where he said he had ordered the release of documents for "maximum transparency" regarding extraterrestrial life, UFOs, and unidentified aerial phenomena.
"Where previous administrations have not been transparent, now people can decide for themselves what is happening," he wrote.
Among the most commented videos are images of objects moving at extreme speeds, splitting in the air, pulsating over water, or suddenly disappearing.
A video titled "Syrian UAP instant acceleration" shows an object suddenly accelerating in Syrian airspace during a military operation in 2021.
The documents also include incidents near Eglin Air Force Base, Kabul, Karaganda International Airport in Kazakhstan and over Ohio.
Another part of the files includes audio from a medical debriefing of the Apollo 12 astronauts in 1969. Astronauts Pete Conrad, Richard Gordon, and Alan Bean described mysterious lights and sparks they saw in the dark during the mission.
NASA later concluded that the phenomenon was related to internal visual effects and not external light sources.
The publication also includes documents for more than 200 reports of "green spheres," discs and fireballs near a military base in Sandia, New Mexico, between 1948 and 1950.
