The Pentagon has released its fifth batch of declassified UFO files, containing dozens of witness accounts, videos and investigative records. Reports include a 2002 sighting of a silent 500-foot triangular object over Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan, a former Pentagon employee's claim of a black triangle over Colorado Springs in 2023, and a 1963 Brazilian incident where a metal sphere allegedly contained a human body. Officials say no evidence confirms extraterrestrial origin. Meanwhile, two classified videos of a triangular craft over a Colorado military base remain secret despite President Trump's transparency order. Whistleblowers interviewed by The New York Post say the directive changes little. Some, like former intelligence officer David Grusch, welcome the move but note barriers remain.
