The Aporia · Watch: Sixth batch of UFO files includes orbs from 1952

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 Pentagon released its sixth batch of UFO files on Friday, including over 70 documents and 15 videos dating from 1952 to 2025. Among them is a highly secretive military program called the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program, established in 2008 by the Defense Intelligence Agency to study future aerospace threats until it ended in 2012. Notably, one document from 2010 details injuries purportedly caused by encounters with anomalous advanced systems. The release also includes footage captured near Tremonton, Utah, by US Navy Chief Warrant Officer Delbert C. Newhouse in July 1952, showing bright objects that could not be conclusively identified despite being reviewed under Project Blue Book. Additionally, a recent report from US Central Command (CENTCOM) details sightings of spherical objects moving at speeds up to 480 mph over what appears to be a desert region.
