The Trump Administration has released a fresh wave of UFO files, including never-before-seen video of a US fighter jet appearing to shoot down a mysterious object.
Stunning footage from the Pentagon showed the moment an F-16 fighter jet shot down an unidentified craft over Michigan’s Lake Huron.
Infrared cameras caught the moment when the small craft with round or diamond shape and jagged tail was struck by what the Pentagon called a US ‘weapons system’ on February 12, 2023.
The object is seen exploding during the violent collision, sending countless pieces of shrapnel in all directions.
In the military’s description of the incident, officials said: ‘The footage appears to depict a kinetic interaction between two distinct areas of contrast, with the initial subject of the footage fragmenting in a radial displacement pattern that suggests a high-energy event.’
In simpler terms, the Air Force used kinetic weaponry, possibly a missile, to strike the UFO, causing it to ‘fragment’ or break up into several pieces after the high-energy explosion.
The new footage was one of 46 new videos released on Friday by the Pentagon-led committee put in charge of disclosing America’s UFO files to the public.
