Are there videos in the UFO files release?

Yes. Some UFO-file releases include videos, alongside documents and images. The Pentagon released official footage documenting incidents from 2004 and 2015. [1] A later batch of 64 records from the Department of War also included videos, as well as documents and an image. [2]

The second batch’s video titles describe a fighter jet firing at an object over Lake Huron and orbs near a submarine. [2] Those titles tell us what the videos are called, but the available account does not establish what the objects were or what the footage shows in detail. [2] Another official video, recorded over the East China Sea in 2024, shows a military sensor tracking an area that looks different from its surroundings until it leaves the frame; the video does not identify it. [4]

The wider releases also include video material: our count of 479 files released since May notes that a single file can contain several videos or images. [3] That does not mean every file is a video, and the articles do not give a complete count of videos across all releases. [2][3] So, yes, videos are part of the releases—but a video or a dramatic title is not, by itself, an identification of what was filmed. [2][4] What remains unknown is what the unidentified objects in these particular recordings were. [2][4]
