Quick Summary

The Pentagon has released its sixth batch of UFO files, which includes footage from 1952 filmed by Navy Chief Warrant Officer Delbert C. Newhouse near Tremonton, Utah. The video shows a group of bright objects in the sky and was reviewed by Project Blue Book but lacked clear evidence to determine what the objects were. President Trump's executive order earlier this year prompted the declassification of these documents, which have been released in six separate batches starting May 8th.

Story summary

The US Navy and Project Blue Book, the US Air Force's UFO investigation program from 1952 to 1969, have released a sixth batch of declassified UFO files. These include footage filmed in 1952 near Tremonton, Utah, by Chief Warrant Officer Delbert C. Newhouse, who reported seeing and filming a group of bright airborne objects. Despite being submitted to the US Air Force shortly after, investigators could not reach a definitive conclusion due to the film's limited detail and lack of fixed reference points. President Donald Trump had previously ordered the release of UFO files through an executive order earlier in 2026, leading to hundreds of documents being declassified over several months starting from May 8th.
