Pentagon releases sixth batch of UAP records

On September 18, 2026, the U.S. Pentagon released its sixth batch of records concerning Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP). The disclosure includes 71 files, consisting of 55 PDF documents, 15 videos, and one audio file, covering a chronological range from 1952 to 2025. Among the content, 64 files contain redactions. The material originates from various federal agencies, including the Department of Defense, the FBI, and the CIA, following a mandate established by President Donald Trump's Disclosure and Reporting System for UAP encounters.

The released documents highlight the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP), which was initiated by the Defense Intelligence Agency in 2008 and concluded in 2012. Significant cases detailed in the files include 1952 sightings in Utah of metallic disc-like objects, as well as recent observations from 2023 and 2024 involving unidentified spheres and high-speed objects in Colorado and the Middle East. While some incidents remain unexplained, military research continues to examine these encounters. The Pentagon has been issuing such updates periodically since May 2026, with previous releases occurring in May, June, July, and August.
