SouthernWorldwide.com – The Trump administration has unveiled its fourth batch of declassified records concerning unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), offering the public a glimpse into military infrared videos and further details regarding a 2015 incident involving an unidentified object near a critical nuclear weapons facility.
Officials stated that this latest release is part of a broader initiative to increase public access to UAP records. The administration is also committed to safeguarding information that could compromise sensitive military capabilities, compromise the identities of eyewitnesses, or disrupt national security operations.
Among the newly disclosed files is an 18-second infrared video from U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, dated 2025. The footage depicts an object that officials described as having a star-like appearance with six points.
The video, captured by an infrared sensor on a U.S. military platform over the Yellow Sea, shows the sensor tracking what the government has termed an “area of contrast.” However, it is important to note that the description of the video does not represent an official conclusion regarding the object’s identity or its significance.
The release also includes a declassified report from the Department of Energy concerning a 2015 event. This incident involved an unidentified object observed over the Pantex Plant near Amarillo, Texas, which is the primary U.S. facility for the assembly, maintenance, and dismantling of nuclear weapons. While parts of this report had been previously released in a more heavily redacted form, this new tranche provides additional details and visual information.
Another newly released infrared video, also from U.S. Indo-Pacific Command in 2024, spans 1 minute and 46 seconds. The footage shows a military sensor tracking an elongated area of contrast. As the sensor zooms in, the object resolves into a line of several points moving across the screen before becoming less distinct as it moves away into the distance. Officials have cautioned that the description of this video should not be taken as a definitive identification of the object.
Additionally, a newly declassified Navy “Range Fouler Debrief” is included. This standardized report documents unauthorized intrusions into military training airspace. It describes an observation by a military operator of a “quite small” object with a metallic sheen and a reflective underside, which maintained a consistent direction of travel. The report emphasizes that these descriptions are based on the observer’s impressions at the time and are not definitive assessments of the object’s characteristics.
The release also features more infrared videos submitted by U.S. Central Command, the Air Force, and Indo-Pacific Command. One video from 2024 displays what appears to be an elongated area of contrast that later appears as a series of bright points as the military sensor tracks it. Another video from 2023 captures two areas of contrast moving in opposite directions across the sensor’s field of view.
In at least one instance, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) provided technical context for the footage. For a 2019 Air Force infrared video, AARO noted that any apparent flickering could be attributed to the sensor’s automatic contrast adjustments when tracking an object whose temperature closely matched its background.
Congress established AARO in 2022 with the mandate to investigate reports of unidentified objects across air, sea, space, and other domains. A primary focus of the office is to determine if these incidents pose risks to flight safety or national security. AARO is tasked with assessing whether sightings can be explained by foreign adversaries, classified U.S. programs, or conventional phenomena before categorizing them as unresolved.
This latest release marks the fourth installment in a series of UAP record disclosures, stemming from President Donald Trump’s directive to broaden public access to such information. The administration has stated that redactions are limited to protecting the identities of eyewitnesses, sensitive military locations, and unrelated government facilities.
