President Donald Trump’s push to declassify government UFO records produced another fresh batch of military files Friday, with the latest release featuring footage of a bizarre six-pointed object tracked over the Yellow Sea.
The Pentagon’s fourth public disclosure of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) since May doesn’t offer proof of extraterrestrial life. Instead, it expands the growing catalog of unexplained incidents that federal investigators say deserve closer scrutiny, ranging from unusual aerial objects captured on military sensors to sightings that remain unresolved after initial review.
Among the most eye-catching cases is an 18-second military video recorded last year over the Yellow Sea between China and the Korean Peninsula. At first glance, the object resembles a crack across the camera’s display. According to the Pentagon’s summary, however, the military sensor actively tracks the anomaly as it remains centered in the frame.
“The sensor pans to track an area of contrast resembling a six-pointed star, keeping it generally centered within the center of the screen,” the report states.
The newly released documents also revisit another unusual encounter from 2020, when a U.S. Navy operator reported seeing what officials described as a jellyfish-shaped object over the Atlantic Ocean.
According to the file, the observer described the phenomenon as a “darker, maroonish color” measuring roughly 12 to 15 feet tall. The report notes the object could have been a balloon, although the released summary does not reach a definitive conclusion.
The latest disclosures continue a pattern established by previous document releases, which have included everything from well-documented moving orbs to more thinly sourced reports, including an alleged crystal, potato-shaped object spotted over Colorado.
The Trump Administration has directed increased scrutiny of unexplained aerial phenomena, with the Pentagon and FBI treating some incidents as potential national security matters until conventional explanations can be ruled out.
Officials reviewing the cases have explored possibilities ranging from weather balloons and atmospheric effects to advanced foreign technology, though many of the released files do not include final assessments.
