Pentagon Releases New UFO Files with Red Orb Sightings

The US Department of Defense has released a third batch of previously classified documents related to unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). The files contain dozens of reports from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Pentagon, including witness statements, video footage and illustrations.

Several cases involve sightings of mysterious luminous orbs over the northeastern United States. One report describes a bright red sphere approximately one meter in diameter with a glowing core resembling a plasma sun. Witnesses said the object was accompanied by a second orb and that the two moved together.

Other reports describe light formations that changed shape, varied in intensity or split into smaller points of light.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the release was intended to end speculation and allow the public to access materials that have been the subject of public interest and conspiracy theories for years.
