“Multiple Spherical UAP USO near Sub. [CALLSIGN] 2022/03/25 in and out of water,” is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in May 2024.
Another slug of files regarding Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) has been released.
Sean Parnell, Assistant to the Secretary of War for Public Affairs and Chief Pentagon Spokesman, said today this second release of declassified and historical UAP files is part of the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE).
“The collection continues to be housed on WAR.GOV/UFO, and additional files will be released on a rolling basis,” Parnell said.
Worldwide interest
According to the Department of War, since the site’s launch on May 8, 2026, WAR.GOV/UFO has received over 1 billion hits worldwide.” That fact highlights “the unprecedented levels of interest in both this topic and the Trump administration’s historic transparency effort.”

Also noted by the Department of War is that they and agency partners “are actively working on the third release of UAP files, which will be announced in the near future.
Chain-of-custody
As noted within the files, on March 6, 2026, eight members of the U.S. House of Representatives requested access to 51 potentially UAP-related records allegedly held by the Department of War and the Intelligence Community.
