The U.S. Department of War released a second batch of UAP files on May 22, 2026, comprising 64 records including 51 videos, 7 NASA audio files, and 6 documents in response to a House request from eight lawmakers. The release includes footage of spherical objects, formation sightings near Iran and submarines, and incidents from military operations in Afghanistan, Syria, and over Lake Huron. AARO noted chain-of-custody gaps in many materials and assessed some footage as derived from U.S. military infrared sensors. Analysis by researchers including Avi Loeb examines the released videos, while some submissions propose conventional explanations for specific incidents. Congressional representatives including Rep. Tim Burchett indicate increased attention to UAP disclosure, though some claim sensitive material remains withheld.
Avi Loeb provides a preliminary assessment of the U.S. Department of War's second public release of UAP files, including analysis of a spherical object captured in video footage that the Pentagon cannot identify.
