Unsealed UFO documents released by the Trump administration today revealed a minute long video of a bright spherical orb racing across the sky at lightning speed.
The video, dated January 2023, appears to show a glowing ‘UAP in the clouds’ captured by a military infrared sensor above the Yellow Sea, between mainland China and the Korean Peninsula.
The Trump administration released the second trove of UFO files on Friday containing 46 classified videos requested by lawmakers earlier this year.
The videos files were considered so sensitive that officials worked tirelessly to keep them sealed once lawmakers verified their authenticity.
The first batch of photographs and documents were unsealed in early May, containing 162 State Department cables, FBI documents, transcripts of NASA flights into space and more.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth previously said that the Trump administration was working towards full UAP ‘transparency’ as the government continues to release documents to the public.
The move came after the Pentagon’s UFO office previously claimed that it had ‘found no verifiable evidence that the US government or private industry has ever had access to extraterrestrial technology’ in a controversial report.
