Trump UFO files reveal drone pilot’s encounter with ‘linear object’

Trump UFO files reveal drone pilot’s encounter with ‘linear object’,

The Trump administration released long-awaited UFO files to the public on Friday, detailing several hundred unseen photographs and videos of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP). 

The initial release saw 162 files unsealed, including State Department cables, FBI documents and transcripts of NASA flights into space. 

Among the trove of the first batch of declassified documents, uploaded to the Department of Defense’s website, was one document detailing an FBI interview with a drone pilot who had claimed to see a mysterious bright entity.

In September 2023, the pilot reported seeing a ‘linear object’ with a light bright enough to ‘see bands within the light’ in the sky. 

‘The object was visible for five to ten seconds and then the light went out and the object vanished,’ the unidentified pilot said in the FBI interview. 

Donald Trump celebrated the release of the files in a Truth Social post, saying that he ordered the release of information tied to ‘alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs).’ ‘GOD BLESS AMERICA!’ the President added.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said that the administration was committed to bringing ‘unprecedented transparency’ to the government’s understanding of UAPs.

US drone pilot saw a ‘bright linear object’ in the sky in 2023

In the UFO files released on Friday by the Trump administration, one document detailed an FBI interview with an unidentified drone pilot who recalled seeing a bright ‘linear object’ in the sky sometime in 2023.

‘The object was visible for five to ten seconds and then the light went out and the object vanished,’ according to the interview transcripts.

President Trump, who had teased the release of the files since early February, unsealed 162 documents to the general public today.

‘While all of the files have been reviewed for security purposes, many of the materials have not yet been analyzed for resolution of any anomalies,’ the Department of War statement read.

Chilling UFO files video shows glowing ‘eight-pointed star’ with shape-shifting arms darting across the sky

A bizarre glowing object resembling an ‘eight-pointed star’ streaking across the sky was among the most chilling videos released in Friday’s bombshell UFO disclosure.

The eerie infrared footage, captured by US military personnel in 2013, appears to show the strange object darting through the darkness with uneven, shape-shifting arms.

At one point, the military sensor zooms in as the mysterious object races through the frame, seemingly leaving behind a glowing trail.

The object was seen making abrupt movements, sharply changing direction and repeatedly vanishing from view before suddenly reappearing moments later.

All the most shocking new UFO files photos and videos from Trump’s extraordinary release

The Trump administration’s explosive UFO files contained some of the most shocking documents of unidentified phenomena on Earth and in outer space to date.

US senior intelligence official details first hand account with ‘super-hot’ orb

In an interview conducted with the FBI, a US senior intelligence official recollected his first hand account with a UAP at a US military facility.

The official relayed to FBI agents that he and other federal and state personnel conducted searches to where orbs had been previously seen at the time.

After searching the area with a helicopter, the team found a ‘super-hot’ orb hovering over the ground. The orb is reported to have travelled for 20 miles at a speed too fast for the helicopter in pursuit.

An additional ‘swarm’ of lights were seen moving in several directions before four to five additional orbs appeared to ‘flare up and down’ for thirty minutes across the area.

Witness describes seeing ‘4ft aliens’ in UFO files

An FBI memo found in the UFO files released Friday details a witnesses experience with ‘three and a half to 4 feet tall’ aliens wearing ‘space suits and helmets.’

The sighting was detailed in a book titled Flying Saucers – Serious Business authored by Frank Edwards in June 1966 and recounts several global UFO sightings from Russia to Scandinavia.

It claimed that 1965 was ‘the year of the greatest number of UFO sightings and that these were observed by multiple people’, describing UFOs as polished metal objects radiating heat and light that burned witnesses who were too near.

Edwards said that those named in the book who had the encounters were reliable individuals including law enforcement officers, military personnel on official duty, commercial and military airline pilots and civil defense officials.

Many of the sightings were reported from ‘atomic and missile research areas.’

It was noted in the memo that the author concluded his book with a prediction that UFOs will make an ‘overt landing’ or deliberate contact with Earth in the near future.

Buzz Aldrin made ‘unusual’ observations during Apollo 11

Apollo 11 pilot Buzz Aldrin described several ‘unusual’ observations during the mission in 1969.

‘The first unusual thing that we saw I guess was 1 day out or something pretty close to the moon. It had a sizeable dimension to it, so we put the monocular on it,’ Aldrin said.

‘The other observation that I made accumulated gradually. I don’t know whether I saw it the first night, but I’m sure I saw it the second night. I was trying to go to sleep with all the lights out. I observed what I thought were little flashes inside the cabin, spaced a couple of minutes apart.’

He also said, ‘I observed what appeared to be a fairly bright light source which we tentatively ascribed to a possible laser.’
