Slightly less blurry, a bit more intriguing, and a few are in color, but still … no E.T.

On Friday, the Pentagon released its second batch of files documenting unidentified anomalous phenomena.

The drop includes more than 50 previously classified videos and documents related to UAPs. Recordings include video that’s notably clearer than the first batch of footage, which was criticized for largely consisting of blurry orbs.

According to one written account, a senior U.S. intelligence officer last year described “two large orbs” that were “orange with a white or yellow center” and “emitted light in all directions.” After fighters were scrambled, the officer added, “the same orbs we had encountered were now ‘chasing’ the fighters … We were virtually speechless after these observations.”

Some of the most intriguing clips are below.

Here’s color footage of a black sphere:

This is the first time that a video has been published in color instead of black and white (thermal). The incident occurred in 2021 and was probably filmed by a drone. pic.twitter.com/mfM0Dfjw77— Juan Carlos 🇮🇱 (@JuanCarlos23431) May 22, 2026

Orbs flying in formation over water:

OK, now it gets really interesting because these UFOs appear to move like a saucer skipping across water, or like when you throw a smooth stone and it skips along the surface. Why is this important? Because one of the earliest pilot reports of a UFO came from Kenneth Arnold, and… https://t.co/CPeRyHq21z pic.twitter.com/X9PlvKtgkv— Open Minded Approach (@OMApproach) May 22, 2026
