Donald Trump has released a fresh tranche of UFO files, including dozens of reports and videos previously hidden from the public. The fifth batch of Pentagon documents includes accounts of an enormous triangular craft above a US military base, mysterious high-speed orbs, and a metal sphere said to contain a human body.
Pilot Reports Silent Triangle Over Bagram
One of the most extraordinary reports is from a pilot who encountered a silent, 500-foot triangular object that swept over Bagram Airfield, a US-operated base in Afghanistan. The witness told FBI agents he was stargazing with another pilot one night in 2002 at around 4:30am when the stars suddenly began vanishing above them.
"It appeared as if something huge went overhead," the FBI summary states. The object was described as an equilateral triangle that moved without noise across the sky at a steady speed and altitude, with no visible lights. The pilot estimated the object was traveling at 173mph.
1963 Rio Sphere Crash
Another file contains accounts of a large metal sphere crashing into the centre of Brazil's Rio de Janeiro in 1963, burning a 13-foot deep hole into the ground. Windows were said to be on the outside of the mysterious object, and inside was a human body dressed in heavy clothes with inscriptions that could not be deciphered.
However, the FBI records only held witness statements and media reports rather than verified government findings. They offer no evidence that the object was made by aliens.
Pentagon's Commitment to Transparency
US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said in a statement: "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."
Mars 'Alien Entrance' Discovery
It comes as a mysterious gap resembling an "alien entrance" has been discovered in pictures taken on Mars by NASA's Curiosity rover. The 6-foot rectangular opening appears to be cut into the side of a rocky hill. Internet observers have compared the dark space to a doorway for a primitive dwelling.
Curiosity captured the image in July while approaching a ledge on the three-mile-high mountain called Mount Sharpe, which it has been climbing. The remote-controlled buggy was inspecting geological formations called cross-bedded sediments that can reveal how wind and water moved material across the planet billions of years ago. The goal is to figure out if the planet could have supported life at some point.
