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.
The UFO debate swings between sensationalism and blanket scepticism. The Pentagon releases eye-catching claims but no proof, while whistleblowers insist classified evidence exists and face retaliation for speaking. Trump's order looks like a half-step: it encourages disclosure but does not force declassification. The real test will be whether the two Colorado videos ever see daylight, or whether this remains another round of unverifiable stories. Who in Congress will demand the footage be shown?
