Watch: Fighter jet shoots down ‘UFO’ as latest batch of ‘alien files’ released

It happened only three years ago...

This comes after the first batch of files were released earlier this month in a huge declassification programme by the US.

In the 222 newly disclosed files by the Department of War, included is a clip in which a fighter jet is seen shooting down a suspected UAP (the new term for a UFO) in February 2023, over Lake Huron.

The video of the Jet shooting down a 'UFO' can be seen at the top of the article.

Among other documents that have been declassified by Donald Trump’s administration are a series of sightings in a secret facility in Sandia, New Mexico.

These reportedly occurred many years earlier, between 1948 and 1950.

Sightings of UAPs, including “green orbs”, “discs”, and “fireballs” reported near the military base, are among the 209 sightings of UAPs contained in the files.

In areas where the suspected UFOs were sighted, the files also detail findings of residual copper powder.

Project Grudge, which was a short-lived investigation into UFOS between February and December 1949, includes some of the reports.

Meanwhile, in a newly-released CIA file, a sighting at the Saray Shagan weapons testing range in the USSR, now Kazakhstan, is also detailed.

An “airborne, luminous, bright green, unidentified object” was also spotted in the summer of 1973, as per Section 14 in the files.

In another clip, which was likely recorded on a mobile phone, a luminous phenomenon near Karaganda International Airport in Kazakhstan is shown, with the incident dating from March 2022.

Recordings of astronauts flagging potential UAPs are included in the other files.

According to US defence secretary Pete Hegseth, “The Department of War is in lockstep with President Trump to bring unprecedented transparency regarding our government’s understanding of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena”.

“This release of declassified documents demonstrates the Trump Administration’s earnest commitment to unprecedented transparency”, he added.

The Pentagon released the first batch of documents relating to alleged sightings of unidentified objects earlier this month.

The first files included a chilling FBI report about “aliens” and wild claims that Nazis built a UFO.
