The U.S. government's latest UFO document release includes previously classified military records tied directly to the Aegean Sea, with American personnel reporting unidentified objects over Greek waters in January 2024.
The files were published Friday by the U.S. Department of War as part of a declassification initiative coordinated with the White House, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, NASA, the FBI, and the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office. The archive spans nearly 80 years of material and will be updated on a rolling basis through the government portal war.gov/ufo.
Among the most specific disclosures are infrared sensor recordings and mission reports from U.S. aircraft operating out of Greece. One report describes a diamond-shaped object moving at roughly 800 kilometers per hour, with what appeared to be a mass suspended vertically beneath it. The object was only visible through short-wave infrared sensors and disappeared entirely when operators switched to standard visual-spectrum imaging.
A separate mission report documents a sighting lasting about two minutes, with the observer estimating the object's speed at approximately 434 knots. The observer noted it did not appear to follow any conventional flight pattern.
Footage released alongside the documents shows a high-contrast object moving above the sea before fading from view as the background shifts from water to land. Pentagon officials have long cautioned that most UAP reports eventually yield conventional explanations such as drones, atmospheric effects, or sensor anomalies, but several cases involving military pilots and advanced sensor systems remain officially unresolved.
The release follows a directive from President Trump, who instructed federal agencies to identify and publish government files related to UFOs and extraterrestrial life, citing what officials described as "tremendous interest" from the public.
