最新披露的五角大楼和联邦调查局记录显示，2024年10月至2025年6月期间，美国东北部同一区域有多起不明球体目击报告，其中一起事件中两名目击者称看到一个发光红色球体，内部包含一个篮球大小的“白色等离子体太阳”。
这些目击事件是特朗普政府“不明异常现象遭遇公开解密与报告系统”（PURSUE）公布的数十份记录之一，该系统是一项跨政府解密不明异常现象（UAP）相关文件的举措。
根据周四公布的记录，2024年10月的一名目击者报告称，在一处池塘上空约2700英尺处观测到一个“等离子体球体”悬停。调查人员表示，这个发光物体间歇性改变形状和亮度，有时会分裂成数个较小的光点。水面上方还出现第二个发光点，看起来并不符合水面反射的特征。该物体基本静止约45分钟后消失。
根据记录，这段视频由iPhone拍摄，随后由美国政府进行分析和验证。联邦调查局认定该目击者高度可信。
此次文件披露是特朗普政府“不明异常现象遭遇公开解密与报告系统”的最新一批文件。该透明化举措是在唐纳德·特朗普总统2月指示联邦机构审查并解密不明异常现象相关记录后启动的。该项目持续公布了一系列文件，其中一些案件调查人员认为可以用常规现象解释，另一些则多年来始终无法破解。
福克斯新闻数字频道在文件公布前采访了多名高级政府官员。

同一区域的第二起事件发生在2025年7月，一名目击者回家后注意到住宅后方林线下方悬停着一束强烈的亮光。根据联邦调查局的访谈记录，目击者称该物体为直径约1米的红色球体，内部有一个亮白色的中心，形似篮球大小的“等离子太阳”。
另一名目击者也走到户外，报告了同一物体。联邦调查局的记录显示，据估算这些物体距离约30码，距地面20至30英尺。
两名目击者均表示，随后附近出现了第二个完全相同的球体。两个物体一同在树林上方移动，改变高度和方向，同步飞行，最终似乎合并为一个物体，随后消失在视野中。目击者拍摄了目击事件的视频，联邦调查局特工随后获取了与调查相关的照片。
根据联邦调查局的说法，最新一批文件中的多份报告和视频均来自美国东北部同一大致区域。
最新一批文件中最重大的案件之一，是2023年美国西部一处敏感国家安全设施附近一起尚未破解的事件：六名联邦执法人员报告称，他们看到发光的橙色“母球体”向夜空释放小型红色物体。
在最新公布的评估报告中，全领域异常解决办公室（AARO）表示，分析人员将目击者证词与商业和军用飞行日志、雷达数据、空间估算数据和广播式自动相关监视（ADS-B）记录进行比对，并审查了包括军用飞机、无人机、美国政府项目、外国情报活动和自然现象在内的一系列可能解释后，约40%的报告异常活动仍无法解释。

分析人员得出结论，军用照明弹活动可以合理地解释相当一部分观测报告，并认定外国对手技术的可能性极低，但没有任何单一解释能够完全涵盖所有报告的活动。调查人员表示，“未识别技术”仍是该案件中无法解释部分的临时假设，同时警告该评估主要基于证人证词，而非技术或实物证据。
最新公布的文件包括五份目击者陈述、草图和一张概念地图，描述了调查人员归类为“美国西部事件”的四起相关事件，其中包括他们标记的“球体释放子球体”“燃烧球体”“深色风筝”和“半透明风筝”。该案件是最新一批文件中记录最详尽的未破解事件之一。
最新一批PURSUE文件中最不寻常的事件之一，是2022年2月在科罗拉多州科罗拉多斯普林斯附近的目击事件：五名美国陆军人员报告称，在夏延山上方悬停了一个闪烁的物体，时长最多达三分钟。

根据目击者描述，该物体大小约相当于大型喷气式飞机，外形呈有棱角的不对称“土豆状”，由不规则面板组成，在悬停于山上方时缓慢移动并改变形状。
在2024年的一次联邦调查局访谈中，一名见证该事件的前陆军情报官员称，该物体呈奶白色、乳光质感，由类似活动鱼鳞状的铰接面板组成。目击者告诉调查人员，该物体始终保持静止，单个面板缓慢波动，随后物体突然消失。
目击者估算，该物体悬停在夏延山上方300至500英尺处，在他们持续观测期间消失。五角大楼调查人员最终得出结论，该目击事件可能是阳光照射积雪地形并照亮山附近云层导致的，但AARO称该评估置信度较低，因为目击者的观测角度、云层覆盖和环境条件均存在不确定性。
综合来看，科罗拉多州、美国西部和东北部的事件，展现了五角大楼PURSUE项目目前公布的各类报告：从调查人员认为可以用常规现象解释的案件，到经过多年分析仍无法破解的事件。
该举措引发了不同反应。透明度倡导者欢迎此前公众难以获取的记录得以公开，而一些研究人员和前官员则认为，许多公布的文件 heavily依赖证人证词，缺乏足够的技术数据让独立分析师验证政府的结论。
前AARO主任肖恩·柯克帕特里克曾表示，未破解的案件往往始终无法破解，因为调查人员缺乏足够信息得出高置信度的结论。

与此同时，无论是战争部还是AARO，均未认定通过PURSUE系统公布的任何事件是外星生命、非人类智能或外星技术的证据。
政府官员多次强调，未破解的案件仅意味着调查人员缺乏足够信息确定确切原因。迄今为止公布的记录仅记录了观测、调查和评估结果，并未确立外星起源的证据。

Newly released Pentagon and FBI records describe a series of orb sightings reported from the same area of the northeastern United States between at least October 2024 and June 2025, including one incident in which two witnesses reported seeing a glowing red sphere containing what appeared to be a basketball-sized “white plasma sun.”
The sightings are among dozens of records published through the Trump administration’s Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) Encounters, or PURSUE, a government-wide effort to declassify files related to UAPs.
According to records released Thursday, an eyewitness in October 2024 reported observing a “plasma-like sphere” hovering above a pond at an estimated distance of roughly 2,700 feet. Investigators said the luminous object intermittently changed shape and brightness, at times appearing to separate into smaller points of light. A second luminous point hovered above the water and did not appear consistent with a surface reflection. The object remained generally stationary for approximately 45 minutes before disappearing.
The video was captured on an iPhone and later analyzed and authenticated by the U.S. government, according to the records. The FBI assessed the eyewitness as highly credible.
The release is the latest installment of the Trump administration’s Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters, or PURSUE, a transparency initiative launched after President Donald Trump directed federal agencies in February to review and declassify records related to unidentified anomalous phenomena. The program has produced a steady stream of files ranging from cases investigators believe may have conventional explanations to incidents that remain unresolved years later.
Fox News Digital attended a briefing with senior administration officials ahead of the release.
PENTAGON UFO FILES DESCRIBE ‘MOTHER ORB’ RELEASING SMALLER OBJECTS IN 2023 INCIDENT THAT REMAINS UNEXPLAINED

A second incident from the same general area occurred in July 2025, when a witness arrived home and noticed an intense bright light hovering below the tree line behind a residence. According to FBI interviews, the witness described the object as a red sphere roughly one meter in diameter containing a bright white center resembling a basketball-sized “plasma sun.”
A second witness separately came outside and reported seeing the same object. FBI records indicate the objects were estimated to be about 30 yards away and 20 feet to 30 feet above the ground.
Both witnesses said a second identical orb later appeared nearby. The objects moved together above the trees, changed altitude and direction, traveled in tandem and eventually appeared to merge into a single object before disappearing from view. The witnesses captured video footage of the sighting, and FBI agents later obtained photographs associated with the investigation.
According to the FBI, multiple reports and videos released through the latest tranche originated from the same general area in the northeastern United States.
Among the most significant cases included in the latest tranche was an unresolved 2023 incident near a sensitive national security site in the western United States involving six federal law enforcement agents who reported observing what they described as glowing orange “mother orbs” releasing smaller red objects into the night sky.
In a newly released assessment, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office said roughly 40% of the reported activity remains unexplained after analysts compared witness accounts against commercial and military flight logs, radar data, spatial estimates and ADS-B records while examining a range of possible explanations, including military aircraft, drones, U.S. government programs, foreign intelligence activity and environmental phenomena.

Analysts concluded military flare activity could plausibly account for a significant portion of the reported observations and assessed foreign adversary technology as highly unlikely, but determined that no single explanation fully accounted for all the reported activity. Investigators said “unrecognized technology” remained a provisional hypothesis for the unexplained portion of the case, while cautioning that the assessment was based primarily on witness testimony rather than technical or physical evidence.
The newly released files include five witness narratives, sketches and a notional map depicting four related incidents investigators grouped under the “Western U.S. Event,” including what they labeled “Orbs Launching Orbs,” a “Fiery Orb,” a “Dark Kite” and a “Translucent Kite.” The case is among the most extensively documented unresolved incidents included in the latest tranche.
Among the most unusual incidents in the latest PURSUE tranche was a February 2022 sighting near Colorado Springs, Colorado, in which five U.S. Army personnel reported seeing a shimmering object hovering above Cheyenne Mountain for up to three minutes.

According to witness accounts, the object appeared roughly the size of a large jet and resembled an angular, nonsymmetrical “potato” composed of irregular panels that slowly shifted and changed shape while remaining stationary above the mountain.

In a separate FBI interview conducted in 2024, a former Army intelligence officer who witnessed the event described the object as a creamy white, opalescent shape made up of what appeared to be articulating fish-scale-like panels. The witness told investigators the object remained perfectly still while the individual panels appeared to move in slow waves before the object suddenly vanished.
Witnesses estimated the object hovered 300 feet to 500 feet above Cheyenne Mountain before disappearing while they were actively observing it. Pentagon investigators ultimately concluded the sighting may have been caused by sunlight reflecting off snow-covered terrain and illuminating clouds near the mountain, though AARO described that assessment as low confidence because of uncertainty surrounding witness viewing angles, cloud cover and environmental conditions.
Taken together, the Colorado, western and northeastern incidents offer a snapshot of the diverse reports now being published through the Pentagon’s PURSUE program, ranging from cases investigators believe may have conventional explanations to incidents that remain unresolved after years of analysis.
The effort has drawn mixed reactions. Transparency advocates have welcomed the publication of records that were previously difficult for the public to access, while some researchers and former officials argue that many of the releases rely heavily on witness testimony and contain limited technical data that would allow independent analysts to verify government conclusions.
Former AARO director Sean Kirkpatrick has argued that unresolved cases often remain unresolved because investigators lack sufficient information to reach high-confidence conclusions.

At the same time, neither the Department of War nor AARO has concluded that any of the incidents released through PURSUE constitute evidence of extraterrestrial life, nonhuman intelligence or alien technology.
Government officials have repeatedly emphasized that an unresolved case simply means investigators lack sufficient information to determine a definitive cause. The records released to date document observations, investigations and assessments, but do not establish evidence of extraterrestrial origins.
