The Department of War and AARO continued releasing declassified UAP records on May 23, 2026, comprising the second major batch of files responsive to a March 2026 House Congressional request. A serving senior U.S. intelligence official provided a first-hand account of encountering glowing orbs near a sensitive military facility in late 2025, with supporting infrared imagery released on war.gov/UFO. The latest release includes 17 minutes of infrared military sensor video showing multiple objects potentially in formation over the Persian Gulf, as well as additional footage depicting spherical objects near a U.S. submarine with apparent water entry and exit behavior. Multiple CENTCOM-area recordings from 2018-2020 were also released, showing tracked thermal contrasts captured by military platforms. AARO assessments note that many released materials lack substantiated chain-of-custody documentation, and several videos underwent digital alterations before classified network upload.
