<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Pentagon released new UFO footage on Friday that includes dozens of videos as part of a scheduled declassification. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Friday’s release marked the <a href="https://www.war.gov/UFO/">second tranche</a> of records that Trump</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> ordered declassified in his push for transparency on U.S. government information regarding Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP). </span></p>
<p>One of the new videos shows a U.S. fighter jet shooting down a UAP over Lake Huron in February 2023. The U.S. military shot down the object shortly after a Chinese spy balloon crossed over the entire continental United States in an embarrassing moment for former President Joe Biden.</p>

<p>At the time, then-NORAD Commander Gen. Glen VanHerck <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/us-military-shot-unidentified-object-lake-huron-rcna70289">said</a> officials did not know how the object was able to &#8220;stay aloft&#8221; over Lake Huron.</p>
<p>&#8220;We’re calling them objects, not balloons, for a reason,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Other videos released on Friday show aerial views of UFOs in the atmosphere, including two strange objects near a U.S. submarine and another object near Columbus, Ohio. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is overseeing the process of finding, reviewing, identifying, and publicly releasing unresolved UAP-related records that are in the federal government’s possession. Releasing the files is a difficult process as it requires cross-agency coordination and reviewing tens of millions of records with many existing only on paper from decades ago. Due to the quantity of records under review, the White House developed a plan to release records in phases.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Department of War said it remains unable to make a &#8220;definitive determination on the nature of the observed phenomena” due to not having sufficient data. The department added that it welcomes private-sector analysis, information, and expertise to help identify objects released. Along with a desire for private sector analysis, President Trump </span><a href="https://www.war.gov/UFO/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">said</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> the files were declassified based on &#8220;tremendous public interest.&#8221;</span></p>
