New UFO files describe spinning discs, glowing orbs and one object shaped like a potato

The Pentagon released 72 previously classified documents on June 13, 2026, as part of a directive from President Donald Trump to disclose information about unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). The files, the third such release, include accounts of strange aerial sightings but offer no definitive proof of alien life or government cover-ups. One notable report from February 2022 describes five U.S. Army members at Fort Carson, Colorado, who witnessed a 'potato'-shaped object with shimmering, fish-like scales hovering near Cheyenne Mountain. The object remained stationary for two minutes before vanishing, despite clear weather conditions. Investigators attributed the sighting to possible sunlight reflection, though the soldiers insisted no aircraft or balloons were present. Another report details sightings in October 2023 by six federal law enforcement agents who observed a bright orange orb spawning smaller red orbs near a ridgeline. In one instance, an orb hovered motionlessly for hours, though no video or photographic evidence exists. The Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, tasked with investigating UAP, listed military exercises, flares, or developmental technology as plausible explanations but did not rule out unknown technology. An FBI report from February 2026 describes an undisclosed sighting in the Northeast U.S., where an individual saw a brilliant red sphere hovering in their backyard. The report was heavily redacted, but the light was described as unlike anything previously seen. No physical evidence or additional details were provided. The documents highlight ongoing investigations into unexplained phenomena, though the Pentagon has repeatedly stated no evidence of extraterrestrial life has been found. The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office continues to analyze reports, emphasizing the need for further study despite the lack of conclusive explanations.
