Daily Brief: Department of War releases seventh UAP file batch

The Department of War has published its seventh batch of declassified and historical Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena files ^[5]. This release follows recent Pentagon disclosures of images and video captured by Navy personnel showing triangle-shaped UAP, which the Department of Defense has confirmed are real ^[7].

A memorandum for record from the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) documents a witness debrief regarding UAP observations at a sensitive national security site in the western United States ^[6]. The report covers sightings over two days in 2026 and states that AARO considers the incident to warrant further investigation due to the reported morphology of the phenomena ^[6].

Footage presented during a U.S. House Oversight Subcommittee hearing shows a bright, spherical object off the coast of Yemen ^[1]. The video, captured on October 30, 2024, by an American MQ-9 Reaper drone, shows the object surviving a missile strike ^[1].

The Pentagon has released additional videos and images of UAP ^[2]. Separately, an article published on seti.org questions the claims of whistleblower David Grusch, who alleges that several individuals were injured by UFOs ^[4].
