‘Look At That Thing!’: Pentagon Declassifies Footage of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena

The US Pentagon officially released three videos on April 27 of what they deemed “unidentified aerial phenomena”, footage of which had previously been widely shared across the internet. The black-and-white videos, which the Department of Defense said were recorded by Navy pilots in 2004 and 2015, show what appear to be high-speed aircraft racing across the sky. The 2004 videos, which have no accompanying audio, show a saucer-like object apparently hovering in the air before streaking off. Pilots who took the video reported to The New York Times that the incident occurred 100 miles offshore over the Pacific Ocean. The other two videos, from 2015, were filmed by Navy pilots on the US east coast, according to a separate New York Times article. A voice can be heard remarking in the audio: “There’s a whole fleet of them!” Another voice adds: “They’re all going against the wind. The wind’s 120 knots to the west. Look at that thing, dude!” The US Department of Defense said in a release accompanying the footage: “DOD is releasing the videos in order to clear up any misconceptions by the public on whether or not the footage that has been circulating was real, or whether or not there is more to the videos. The aerial phenomena observed in the videos remain characterized as ‘unidentified’”. Credit: US Department of Defense via Storyful
