The Trump administration has released a fresh wave of UFO files, exposing dozens of reports and videos previously hidden from the public.

The fifth tranche, released on Friday, includes chilling accounts of enormous triangular craft, mysterious high-speed orbs and even a metal sphere allegedly carrying a human body.

Among the most extraordinary reports is a military pilot's account of a silent, 500-foot triangular object that swept over Bagram Airfield, a US-operated base, in 2002.

The witness told agents that he was stargazing with another pilot at approximately 4:30am when the stars suddenly began disappearing above them.

'It appeared as if something huge went overhead,' the FBI interview summary states.

The pilot described the object as an equilateral triangle that moved silently across the sky at a steady speed and altitude, despite displaying no visible lights.

Another file recounts claims that a large metal sphere crashed into the center of Brazil's Rio de Janeiro in 1963, gouging a hole 13 feet deep.

The mysterious object reportedly had window-shaped openings covered with thick glass, and contained a human body dressed in heavy clothing bearing inscriptions that could not be deciphered.

However, the records preserve witness statements and media reports rather than verified government findings, and they offer no evidence that either object was extraterrestrial.

US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said in a statement: 'The Department of War is in lockstep with President Trump to bring unprecedented transparency regarding our government’s understanding of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena.

'These files, hidden behind classifications, have long fueled justified speculation, and it’s time the American people see it for themselves.

'This release of declassified documents demonstrates the Trump Administration’s earnest commitment to unprecedented transparency.'

One of the records, a three-page FBI interview summary, details the pilot’s alleged encounter with the enormous triangular craft over Bagram.

The witness said he and another pilot were watching the night sky at around 4:30am when stars began disappearing from view, as though they were being obscured by something passing overhead.

‘It appeared as if something huge went overhead,’ the interview summary states.

He estimated that the equilateral object measured approximately 500 feet across and was traveling at around 173mph.

Despite its enormous size, it allegedly maintained a steady speed and altitude without making any sound or displaying visible lights.

The second pilot reportedly witnessed it too, asking: ‘Did you see that?’ as it passed above them.

The witness said he did not report the encounter at the time and later failed to find anything that could explain what they had observed.

The same file reveals that the pilot subsequently reported unexplained lights during commercial flights beginning in October 2023.

He first noticed them while flying from Boston to Dublin at 37,000 feet and believed they were hovering at least 13,000 feet above his aircraft.

The lights reportedly brightened and faded in cycles lasting between 10 seconds and one minute. Some remained stationary while others traveled in straight lines or suddenly changed direction.

Although they resembled aircraft landing lights, the pilot said their behavior did not match planes, meteors, satellites or Starlink.

He claimed to have witnessed the phenomenon approximately 10 times, with individual encounters lasting from 45 minutes to two hours.

During a flight in February 2024, he recorded more than 10 lights moving and changing brightness as his aircraft traveled at approximately Mach 0.80 near Sioux Falls.

The pilot said he never felt threatened and believed the lights remained at least 100 miles away.
