The US government on Friday released a new batch of ‘UFO files’ containing videos of glowing orbs hovering in the sky. The latest releases reportedly involves 72 files from the FBI, CIA and Pentagon and includes clips shot around various locations in the US.
This was the third release by the Trump administration after the first two were made public on May 8 and May 22.

One of the videos, shared by The White House on X, shows a luminous object resembling a ‘plasma-like sphere’ that was filmed by a citizen in October 2024 on his iPhone. This sphere, the files said, was “changing shape and luminosity.”

Another video features two bright orange orbs, seemingly tethered together, floating a few feet away from each other in the sky. The second video is said to be from July 2025 and the light was seen hovering approximately 25 feet off the ground. According to an FBI report, this video was also shot by a citizen on an iPhone.

“The witnesses described the orbs’ motion as silent and smooth, and as moving in tandem as though they were flying in formation or tethered together. As the orbs moved out of sight, both eyewitnesses saw them appear to merge,” the FBI said per reports.
“The eyewitnesses estimated that the orbs moved from their initial position before disappearing from view at an estimated distance of 75 yards. This observation occurred within 25 miles of the “Triangle Orbs,” “Red Orb Rotation,” and “Orbs Over the Pond,” sightings at a location well known to them, which is sparsely populated.”
Earlier this year, US President Donald Trump ordered the release of the files “based on tremendous interest” by the general public. According to the Department of War, which has promised to release additional files on a rolling basis, its UFO files website has received over 1.7 billion hits worldwide since its launch on May 8.
