Not flares! Not balloons! Complete analysis of new UFO footage from the Pentagon!

Added: 2026-05-10

[00:00:05]Good morning, alien enthusiasts. This is the Angry Astronaut, and as many of you probably know, we just got the motherload. On May the 8th, 2026, the Pentagon dropped 28 raw military censor videos as part of President Trump's pursue transparency order. These aren't phone videos or YouTube edits. These are straight from the sensor. Full motion infrared, electrooptical, and thermal footage captured by US military platforms, fighter jets, drones, ships, you name it. The Department of Defense's official position on every single one of these 28 clips is the same. Unresolved UAP. No identifications, no mundane explanations handed down, just the raw data and the incident reports from trained operators who couldn't write them off. If these were easy balloons, birds, flares, or drones, the military would have identified them on the spot and never submitted a UAP report in the first place. These things made it into the system because they didn't behave like anything in the known catalog. I'm narrating this full compilation, clip by clip, exactly what you see on the screen, exactly what the military recorded, and exactly why these aren't the usual suspects. No keyboard warrior nonsense. Let's roll.

[00:01:38]Good afternoon, alien enthusiasts, and welcome to another Angry Alien Bulletin.

[00:01:44]So, it's finally happened. We have this unveiling from the Trump administration of all of this UFO footage. And like so many people on this planet, I've been examining this stuff in detail and doing my best to analyze it. However, unlike many people on this planet, I haven't immediately jumped to mundane conclusions as to what these things are.

[00:02:11]We need to keep in mind that all of this footage is comprised or at least most of it anyway is comprised of UAP reports that were submitted by military personnel. In other words, people who are generally drone operators, people who have a lot of experience in military reconnaissance. Therefore, anything really mundane is probably going to get weeded out. things, for example, like balloons and flares, which are already being put forward as explanations for all of these things. Because, keep in mind, the military has had time to examine all of this stuff. This stuff was released by Arrow and had an opportunity to be examined by Arrow.

[00:02:59]That being the case, they've at least given this stuff a cursory glance. it's at least gone through something of a vetting process and it's already passed that preliminary vetting process.

[00:03:11]Therefore, anything easy should have been weeded out. And then, of course, the photos from the moon, that stuff is especially intriguing. So, I'm not going to spend any more time on this. Let's just go ahead and dive into the footage.

[00:03:25]We got a lot to cover here because there's a lot there. And I'm going to show you the entire 28 clips from this military dump and you guys can come to your own conclusions.

[00:03:40]Okay, these are short clips. One identifies a bright object near a rooftop and then this one just has a very brief UAP zoom across the background. There it goes. These are very brief clips, but again, all of this stuff is unexplained. There goes another one across the field of view. Again, these little orbs, these orb UAPs that are pretty common in this military footage. There's going to be some longer clips later on. There it goes. Another one just in the upper right. Let me back that one up. That's pretty interesting.

[00:04:17]That was slowed down five times and it just blew right by. And also apparently the drone operator is checking the trajectory to see where it might have been going, but he can't pick it up.

[00:04:28]Again, with this one, you can barely see something crossing the screen at the bottom apparently. Again, barely distinguishable, this particular UAP, but it goes on the bottom of the screen.

[00:04:41]Now, as far as this one is concerned, these clips get longer as time goes on.

[00:04:46]By the way, you're going to see an orb UAP go zipping by on the left side of the screen again to the left of the tugboat or whatever that is. There it is. Just visible for a moment, but yeah, you've got that again. It attracted the attention of the drone operator. You can see that. By the way, in some of these clips, you can barely see these UAP, but this one is visible as it moves over the ocean. This is a very high alitude reconnaissance platform. And then as the UAP moves over the ground, you can't see it at that point. It becomes indistinguishable. So that's it for that clip. Now we have another clip from the United Arab Emirates. This one is a little bit more clear moving over the ocean. And this thing looks more like an inverted teardrop with some sort of mass being suspended below. And again, there are some reports, anecdotal reports of orbs launching orbs that I'm going to talk about a little bit later on. And then here goes again this particular one that may be a repeat to be honest. I think we already saw that particular orb UAP footage. Okay, this one might be a little bit longer. And again, you can see the orb UAP to the upper left hand side of your screen. footage was captured in 2022 and the report explains that the footage or the UAP remains unidentified.

[00:06:16]So once again another unidentified orb UAP moving about very interestingly in the clouds definitely at high altitude and then all of a sudden yeah it accelerates it takes off. That is very interesting indeed. And once again, the drone operator tries to reacquire and can't. This is one of those rare sudden acceleration pieces of footage that has attracted so much attention, or at least things that people have talked about a lot, but the military hasn't revealed.

[00:06:50]This next one is from Greece, and you're going to see an area of contrast become distinguishable in the right side, the right frame. And so the drone operator switches over to a full screen view to get a better look at this thing. And we've got another orb UAP. The area of contrast visually resembles again an inverted teardrop. So similar to that other one that we saw with a vertically linear trailing mass suspended below. So again, it's kind of hard to see as tiny as this thing is, but this analysis comes from the black vault. I tend to trust uh John Greenwald's assessment of these things because he's been examining this footage for over three decades. I'd say that he knows quite a bit about examining military reconnaissance footage. Very interesting piece of footage. But as you're about to see, things are going to get a lot more interesting.

[00:07:55]Okay, so so far we're seeing a lot of footage that's kind of similar to the stuff that we've seen from Arrow before.

[00:08:02]A thermal signature, what might be a orb UAP of some kind moving against the background being tracked by a military sensor. But things get a lot weirder as you dive deeper into these clips. And after seeing orb after orb, we start seeing some stuff that is truly bizarre.

[00:08:25]This is a brand new report. 2026, 1 minute and 49 seconds. With no oral or written description of the observation, obviously they've noticed a object of interest of some kind. The sensor disengages from its previous area focus and starts to track whatever this thing is or appears to be two orbs side by side. The sensor widening out its field of view to zoom out, keeping areas of contrast generally centered within the display and then the field of view cycles between levels of zoom at later on in the video, causing the areas of contrast to appear to rapidly increase and decrease in size. the sensor tracking the area of contrast while maintaining a generally centered position during all of this footage intermittently cycling between contrast settings. But once again, this is one of the more unusual pieces of UAP footage that I've seen from the military. The whole side by side thing. Honestly, this kind of looks like two jet engines from the back. In other words, you're tracking an aircraft or pursuing an aircraft with two side byside engines.

[00:09:41]But apparently, that's not what this is.

[00:09:44]Instead, it's two side byside thermal signatures. And here's the thing about all of this footage. These sensors are designed to pick out aircraft, missiles, everything conventional. If these were flares riding the wind or a commercial drone, the operator wouldn't have bothered filing a report. flares don't maintain consistent thermal signatures like this while being actively tracked.

[00:10:09]Now, the next one is just as intriguing in my opinion because we're getting to see these objects orb UAP, whatever you want to call them, from a much more closeup perspective. And there are several of them in this footage, not just one. And that's one of the things that makes this footage especially intriguing. You have three, it appears, that are being tracked, perhaps side by side, linked together, something along those lines. But given that we had two side byside orbs in the previous one, there's a little bit of a pattern here.

[00:10:47]Again, we could be looking at two side byside orbs as well. But it appears again according to the vault, the black vault, these are three distinct areas of contrast maintaining their positions within the center of frame. The areas of contrast maintain a fixed position and also the same orientation relative to one another. So could they be part of the same object or are they three orb UAP traveling very closely together?

[00:11:20]Again, very difficult to determine. The Pentagon is not providing a hell of a lot of explanation with any of this.

[00:11:29]Instead, what they're doing is just throwing this stuff out there and saying, "Have fun." And honestly, I'm not terribly upset about that. But one thing I must continue to emphasize is the fact that according to the Pentagon, all of these UAP remain unidentified.

[00:11:47]Although some of them may have been vetted a little bit more thoroughly than others. Some of them, by the way, are very, very old. This one dates back to 2023.

[00:11:59]And we're going to be seeing a very similar piece of footage here in a moment. There we go. just switched over to another piece of footage that is quite similar, although a UAP that's actually going to pass the observation platform, the reconnaissance platform.

[00:12:18]58 seconds of video footage. Uh this is from 2020 actually. So we're looking at a 3 years of separation between these two sightings. And the reporter again did not provide any oral or written description. The area of contrast increases in distinctiveness against the background as the footage goes on. The sensor narrows its field of view to zoom in. The area of contrast increases in apparent size and distinctiveness. And then you're going to see it leave the center of the frame and pass out of the sensors field view, exiting the scene in the bottom right corner of the screen.

[00:12:56]Here it goes. Man, this thing looks like it is moving. Now, I've slowed this next one way down because it doesn't last very long, and it consists of 5 seconds of video footage. It's a 2024 report of a misshapen and uneven ball of white light. And it's been highlighted by these irregularly shaped orange areas that overlay the background imagery. And both of them persist for less than 2 seconds each. Just you blink and you miss those. Now, this next one is also unique because it's the first time that the drone operator or somebody actually annotated it. They find a small thermal signature. They point that out. Very interesting. I've never seen that before. And then the playback resumes with the sensor panning to track the area of contrast against the background, generally maintaining the area of contrast position within the top third of the display area. During this period, the sensor cycles through several contrast and zoom settings. But once again, another orb UAP and something that attracted the attention of the drone operator so much that he submitted the report and annotated it. Again, you don't see this kind of thoroughess that often, but it's something that attracted his attention and he thought it was worth reporting on. And once again, the military has not been able to explain this.

[00:14:34]Now, I've slowed this one way down.

[00:14:37]You're going to see it at the top of the screen. This half oval that's only just vaguely visible, but again, was reported as a UAP. It's really tough to see it, but there it goes. There it goes. You can just barely see this half oval. this discoloration or whatever. Once again, this is something that was reported by Arrow, by the military as being something unusual, very strange, and once again unique compared to the other ones that we've been watching. Okay, back to normal speed so we can have a look at this amazing piece of footage.

[00:15:15]This was submitted by the United States Indo-Pacific Command. 1 minute and 39 seconds of video footage aboard a US military platform in 2024 with no oral or written description of the observation. Essentially, the sensor is just tracking an area of contrast, maintaining its position within the center of the frame. But what I find to be so incredibly interesting about this footage is the fact that this thing ultimately makes its way into a forest.

[00:15:49]Yeah, as you can see, a forest of wind turbines and it is cooking. Again, this is just a rough estimate, but based on the height of the wind turbines, of your average wind turbine and the speed of this thing as it's moving through them, I estimated the speed of the object at about 540 km per hour. Much faster than a balloon, that's for certain. Faster than the vast majority of drones as well. We're looking at over 300 m an hour here. Now, who knows? It could be that it isn't flying directly through this forest of wind turbines, but watch as it decelerates and makes its way into another forest of wind turbines. To me, this so looks like intelligent control. Somebody who's interested in these wind turbines and wants to get a better look at them and it just blazes through them once it starts accelerating again. That piece of footage is fascinating. But this one gets even more fascinating. This one definitely takes the cake. It is an eightointed star. I mean, there's no other way to describe this thing. An eightointed star being resolved by an infrared sensor.

[00:17:10]Now, there are many, many people who have argued that this is a flare being suspended by a parachute. And you can see the little thermal trail that it's leaving behind. They say that that's thermal smoke or something like that.

[00:17:25]Number one, if this were a flare, that's something that would have easily been picked up by the drone operator. This never would have seen the light of day.

[00:17:35]And also, it would be moving with the wind. Those sorts of characteristics would have been picked up immediately.

[00:17:42]And by the way, this is a very, very old piece of footage, one of the oldest arrow reports that we have. It was detected back in 2013, so why would it have not been resolved by now? Now, I get what people are saying. You can see the shadow of what appears to be a parachute off to the left, and the physics seem to work for that theory, but again, the parachute's on its side, which is a bit odd. How do we know that's a parachute? Sure, the object seems to be moving in conjunction with that shadow, but does that mean that that's a parachute? And again, you're going to see here in just a moment when it flies out of view, it flares up, which is very strange.

[00:18:32]There it goes. You see that? It flared up. I'm going to back that up and show that to you again. The thermal signature flared up as it began to ascend. Why?

[00:18:48]All right. So, in addition to all of the clips, there were other things that were submitted on this report. For example, there were a number of different FBI case files that were unveiled. Things that, at least to my knowledge, have not been revealed to the public at all. Very intriguing stuff. And by the way, I had an opportunity to speak to an FBI agent who was investigating the whole UAP phenomenon a couple of years ago. I remained silent about the whole thing because he didn't want me revealing that the FBI was actually investigating this and taking it seriously. So, I kind of kept quiet about it for his sake. And now that it's out in the open, I can tell you that the FBI's been investigating UAPs and taking this whole thing very seriously indeed. And some of these cases are extremely compelling.

[00:19:42]Here's one FBI case file that includes investigative records, eyewitness testimonies, and public reports concerning unidentified flying objects and flying discs documented between June of 1947 and July of 1968. The records include high-profile incident accounts, photographic evidence from sites like Oakidge, Tennessee, and technical proposals regarding potential propulsion systems. Additional topics include convention programs, researcher accounts, and extensive media coverage from the period. This file is partially posted on the FBI vault, and I downloaded all of it. It's going to take me forever to go through all of this and it has some redactions and pages missing, but I managed to download the complete case file with several newly declassified pages and only minor redactions. But these photos are especially interesting, especially whatever these things are traveling in perfect formation. Very, very intriguing indeed. And then there's something a lot more recent that's received a hell of a lot more attention in the media than this particular file that was declassified. And that is an FBI report of an apparent ellypoid bronze metallic object that materialized out of a bright light in the sky. It was huge. We're talking 130 to 195 ft in length and then it disappeared instantaneously. And this is a composite sketch that was put together by the FBI labs. Again, this happened very recently in September of 2023.

[00:21:36]And apparently the FBI found this account to be credible enough to file an official report on it. And once again, here's another photograph taken from the 1960s. Again, these strange, brightly lit objects in the sky flying in formation. Again, serious enough for the FBI to file an official report. And while I take you through some more orb UAP footage that was captured by US military reconnaissance platforms, I'm going to go ahead and relate a story to you that was also released by the Pentagon yesterday regarding something called orbs launching orbs. quote, "Three teams of two federal law enforcement special agents each independently describe seeing orange orbs in the sky emit or launch smaller red orbs in groups of two to four with three being the general consensus.

[00:22:37]Again, these are federal police. This is stated to have occurred at least five times. And each time the orange orb would appear, launch red orbs, and then disappear. The orange orb was only visible for one or two seconds. The red orbs would generally move away from the orange mother orb in a horizontal path.

[00:22:59]But in a couple of instances, one red orb was stated to move heading up at an angle, while another witness stated sometimes the red orbs would swoop down after being launched from the larger orange orb. These events were witnessed by multiple teams from varying locations and vantage points over a 2-day period.

[00:23:21]Due to the sequential nature of the events, it is not known whether there was a single orange mother orb that released the groups of red orbs or whether there were multiple orange orbs at play. Here's another FBI report. An interview conducted with a senior US intelligence official regarding his firsthand account of a UAP encounter at a US military facility. He relayed to FBI agents that he and other federal and state personnel conducted searches to where orbs had been previously seen. And after searching the area with a helicopter, they found a super hot orb hovering over the ground. The orb is reported to have traveled for 20 miles at a speed too fast for the helicopter to pursue. An additional swarm of lights were seen moving in all directions. A total of four or five additional orbs were seen shortly thereafter for a short time flaring up and then down. This pattern of four or five orbs flaring up and then down continued over the next 30 minutes over the area. There are a number of redactions made to this report, but they did retain the vast majority of what was interesting. And as I've been relating all of this to you, you've been able to see the drone operator continue to track whatever this thing is. And it appears to have slowed down substantially compared to how these things usually fly through the atmosphere. And if you consider that it's flying over the ocean, well perhaps it's looking for a place to settle down because we have a lot of USO sightings as well that involve orb UAP. One of the longer pieces of footage. It's good that they were able to track this thing for as long as they can, but then again, not quite as spectacular in terms of the movement that it shows or anything else.

[00:25:23]But we have something a lot more interesting to show you here in a moment. Instead of FBI photos taken back in the 60s, we're going to be looking at some photos taken from the surface of the moon in the late 60s and early 70s.

[00:25:59]And now, of course, it's time to have a look at the NASA photographs, the stuff from the moon. And I'll tell you, as intriguing as some of these photos are, I kind of wonder about some of them.

[00:26:10]Some of them I'm not entirely convinced that we're actually seeing what the astronauts saw, but in the case of at least one photo, I think we're definitely seeing something that perhaps the astronauts didn't even notice.

[00:26:29]Now, I have to admit this is a lot of stuff in one photograph. And by the way, these photos have actually been available on NASA's website for quite some time. It's not like this stuff has been hidden. And given the number of things that are appearing in the lunar sky, I kind of doubt whether or not this is showing us anything. I would say that there's a better chance that the photo has suffered damage of some kind. And that may be the case with this next one as well. That little blue tendril is very oddlooking. But there's one photo that stands out as being a lot more convincing. And while we're looking at these photos, I'm going to go ahead and relate to you the Apollo 12 experiences that were downloaded on the Department of War site as well. Apollo 12 was the fourth crude US mission to the moon and the second to land astronauts on the lunar surface. This document is an excerpt from the Apollo 12 technical airto ground voice transcription highlighting two periods in which the astronauts reported observing unidentified phenomenon. A 1-hour period on the fifth day and a twominute period on the sixth day. So it has these transcripts of the astronauts talking about seeing something out in the blackness. For example, astronaut Alan L. Bean described observing particles and flashes of light sailing off in space via the onboard alignment optical telescope. He characterized these phenomenon as escaping the moon. And in addition to that, mission commander Charles P. Conrad described observing floating debris outside the lunar module which had been illuminated by the module's onboard tracking light. He assessed that the tracking light had burnt out because he could no longer see the debris from the module. And this isn't the only account. There are other Apollo accounts as well that have alleged UFO sightings. For example, Jean Cernin reported that he was having difficulty sleeping and described having observed some sets of the streaks. He also described an intense light flashing between his eyes, describing its intensity as comparable to that of a train headlight and characterizing it as imposing. Over the next 3 hours, Cernin described observing several flashing rotating phenomenon that he assessed as corresponding to physical objects in space rather than a purely optical phenomenon. Astronaut Schmidt also reported observing similar phenomenon, although he assessed the source of the observation to be a separated rocket stage. Jean Cernin reported observing two additional distant flashing objects, though he assessed them as spacecraft lunar module adapter panels. But nevertheless, Jean Cernin, who is not the kind of guy who made up stories, did talk about seeing UAP out in cis lunar space. And if you have a look at this particular photo, this is the one that stands out to me. These three pinpoints, they look very similar to the triple transient that Dr. Beatatric Viller and her team found in the night skies of the 1950s.

[00:30:01]I would love to cover the rest of this with you in this particular episode, but the longer this goes over half an hour, the less of a chance there's going to be that YouTube is going to promote this.

[00:30:12]So, as much as this bothers me, I'm going to have to break this up into two parts. So, please stay tuned. I will release the second part tomorrow. got a lot more to talk to you about, not just in terms of footage, but also in terms of files that were downloaded by the government by the military, all relating to the UFO phenomenon. So, thanks very much for watching. Please do not forget to like and subscribe. Also, thank you for watching the ads for as long as you can. 15 to 20 seconds is enough. I get plenty of compensation for that. or if you become a YouTube premium member, that's another way that I get compensated. Or you can simply support me in various ways that are described in the description. Thanks again and until next time, stay angry about space.
