The Pentagon has published its sixth batch of UFO records, including footage and documents describing groups of alleged unidentified craft moving through the skies across several decades.
Released on Friday morning, the latest collection centers on a well-known 1952 UFO incident near Tremonton, Utah, recorded by a Navy photographer.
The newly disclosed film shows between 10 and 14 bright objects against a clear blue sky. Navy warrant officer Delbert Newhouse, who was vacationing with his family when he made the recording, said the objects appeared to resemble two discs placed one atop the other — the familiar shape associated with a “flying saucer.”
In his incident reports, Newhouse said the UFOs had a gleaming metallic or gunmetal appearance. He described them as moving in a loose circular pattern while generally traveling west.
Project Blue Book, the US Air Force’s former UFO investigation program, spent months examining the footage but was never able to offer a complete explanation for what Newhouse recorded.
More than 70 years later, US military aircraft operating over the Middle East captured another unexplained cluster of UFOs moving in a tightly coordinated formation.
The glowing orbs were seen passing an oil rig at high speed, traveling side by side in an almost flawless horizontal line before separating into smaller groups of three.
The latest files also include dozens of eyewitness accounts, videos of UFO sightings and newly declassified records detailing how a private firm owned by billionaire Robert Bigelow received a Pentagon contract to examine UFO reports and advanced technology.

Among the hundreds of pages of never-before-seen documents released on Friday were expense reports coming from the Defense Intelligence Agency – the Pentagon’s military intelligence service which studies foreign military technology and possible future threats.
The documents detailed how tens of millions of dollars were spent on a program called AAWSAP: Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program. It ran from 2008 to 2012.
Among the futuristic technology the group secretly contracted researchers to investigate were space-age materials including metallic glass, a faster-than-light method of travel known as warp drive, the ability to make objects invisible using a cloaking device and the creatin of laser weapons for the military.

Among the files, were drawings of an experimental craft that would, in theory, be able to travel to distant planets by creating a ‘warp bubble’ that could allow the ship to travel faster than light by contracting spacetime in front of it and expanding spacetime behind it.
In simpler terms, defense officials were working on a way to move this wheel-shaped ship through space and time without the craft actually moving faster than light locally – like riding through an invisible expressway in the fabric of the universe.
The files on cloaking reviewed ideas for making an object harder to see by bending or hiding light, heat or radar signals around it.
Meanwhile, researchers also surveyed high-powered laser weapons and how that technology had developed over the years. The Department of War publicly revealed in May that ‘directed energy weapons’ were now a part of the military’s arsenal.
The group awarded the contract for this work was Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS).

BAASS was a company set up by Robert Bigelow, the businessman behind Budget Suites of America and Bigelow Aerospace. He has also been known to have a strong personal interest in UFOs and government transparency.
In July, UFO researcher and documentary filmmaker Mark Christopher Lee alleged that Bigelow was part of President Trump’s inner circle which convinced the president to prepare a speech which would announce the existence of UFOs and extraterrestrial life.
The Daily Mail has reached out to Bigelow for comment on the UFO files and the claims by Lee.
This is a breaking story. More details to follow.
The sixth batch of UFO files contained multiple videos of alleged UFO encounters, including orbs traveling over land and sea at high speeds
