The Pentagon made public a lot of documents given to non-identifiable flying objects, supposedly “caches behind the secret defense”.
He wants to put an end to “speculation”. The American Department of Defense announced Friday that it had made public a first batch of documents, previously kept secret, on unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, a subject that fascinates even Donald Trump, at the origin of this publication.
“These documents, hidden behind defense secrecy, have long justifiably fueled speculation, and it is time that the American people can have direct access to them,” declared Defense Minister Pete Hegseth in a statement. communicated.
More than 160 documents were published on a dedicated page on the Pentagon website. Among them are a series of reports from December 1947 on “flying disks”.
“Fireballs” and “orbs”
Other documents dating from 1950 report “green fireballs”, “discs” and “meteors” observed on 150 occasions in the state of New Mexico, near “sensitive installations”. But an academic dispatched to the site indicated that these flying objects could be American missiles being tested in the area.
Another filing cites an incident in 2023 in which three teams of federal police officers separately claimed “to have seen orbs orange in the sky emit or launch smaller orbs red.
The same year, an FBI letter said that an object “in the shape of a cigar, with an extremely strong light”, was seen in the sky, early in the morning, on a construction site, in an unidentified area. “The light was an intense diamond white, with what appeared to be a ring around the light, and was located at the eastern end of the object,” the letter describes.
A wish of Donald Trump
Donald Trump announced in February that he intended to order federal agencies “to identify and publish” files on extraterrestrials and UFOs. The same day of this announcement, the American president attacked Barack Obama, guilty according to him of having delivered “classified information” on extraterrestrials.
At the end of a podcast broadcast a few days earlier, the former Democratic president responded to a question about the existence of these: “They are real, but I haven’t seen them. “He added during this casual interview that to his knowledge there was no “underground installation” aimed at hiding the existence of extraterrestrials, as some conspiracy theories suggest.
‘No Evidence’ on Extraterrestrials
Faced with reactions on social networks, Barack Obama clarified his position, claiming to have seen “no evidence, during (his) presidency, that extraterrestrials have made contact with us.”
Interest in UFOs has been revived in recent years, as the US government investigated numerous reports of aircraft with apparently supernatural characteristics, amid fears that opposing powers were testing highly progress.
In March 2024, however, the Pentagon released a report claiming it had no evidence that “unidentified aerial phenomena” (UAP) were linked to extraterrestrial technology, with many suspicious sightings turning out to be simple balloons. weather, spy planes, satellites or other ordinary activities.
