136 declassified documents and 78 sensor videos from the CIA, FBI, DOD, NASA, State Department, and other agencies — spanning WWII foo fighters to 2026 AARO briefings.
In the winter of 1944, crews of the 415th Night Fighter Squadron began reporting luminous spheres that flew formation with them over Germany. Two lights rose from the ground, leveled off, and sat on their tail for two minutes before peeling away under what the crews described as "perfect control." For six weeks the encounters continued. SHAEF investigated. The Air Ministry concluded the whole affair was "something of a mystery."
Kenneth Arnold saw nine objects skip like saucers across water near Mount Rainier. Within weeks, the FBI opened Case File 62-HQ-83894. On July 8, 1947, an FBI teletype described a hexagonal object recovered near Roswell, already en route to Wright Field. The Bureau decided it didn't want jurisdiction. Gen. Samford called flying saucers "a complete enigma." J. Edgar Hoover sent correspondence to the War Department by special messenger.
On January 7, 1948, the base commander at Godman Field watched an object 250 to 300 feet in diameter hovering overhead. An F-51 pilot climbed to pursue it. He didn't come back. Captain Mantell became the first known fatality in a UFO pursuit. Project Sign cataloged hundreds of incidents on standardized checklist forms. The first hundred summaries span mid-1947 through early 1948 — dozens of trained observers at military installations reporting disc-shaped silent objects that outran pursuit aircraft.
Senator Russell watched flying discs in the USSR. The Socorro incident left physical trace evidence. The FBI file grew to ten sections. A bright green mass appeared over the Sary Shagan weapons testing range in the Soviet Union — expanded into concentric circles, hung silently, then vanished. At a military installation, the sighting was either suppressed or genuinely baffled everyone. Meanwhile, the French defense establishment spent three years investigating and concluded the extraterrestrial hypothesis was the most probable explanation.
Gemini 7 reported a "bogey." Apollo 11 tracked an L-shaped object. Apollo 12 and 17 photographed anomalous lights on the lunar surface. Skylab crews experienced persistent cosmic ray flashes that defied explanation. The astronauts were among the most credible observers in history — trained test pilots operating the most advanced sensor platforms of their era — and they kept seeing things they could not explain.
First military sensor captures of unidentified objects. East Coast observations. The footage that would remain classified for years.
In 2020, military sensors over the Persian Gulf, Arabian Sea, and Strait of Hormuz captured UAP after UAP. Dual objects. Pulsing spheres over water. Objects that appeared cold on infrared but showed bright white on black-hot mode. More than 20 observations in a single year.
The objects got stranger. "Syrian UAP instant acceleration." Four UAP in formation over Iran. Spherical objects with erratic movement over Europe. Near a submarine: multiple spherical objects going in and out of water. And something shaped like a bouncy ball, doing 424 knots for seven minutes, that adjusted altitude to avoid a collision.
On February 12, 2023, an Air National Guard F-16C shot down an unidentified object over Lake Huron. Weeks later, a fifth-generation aircraft captured UAP on its sensors. Objects appeared near Columbus, Ohio. Over Kazakhstan. In the East China Sea.
Coast Guard sensors captured "Tic Tac" objects off Florida. INDOPACOM reported encounters in the Pacific. The Army filed a report. Then in May 2026, the government released it all — 78 videos, 222 files total. Sixty-nine remain unresolved. A senior intelligence officer narrated close encounters from a helicopter. AARO briefed Congress on "orbs launching orbs" and the "Eye of Sauron."
