Pentagon Releases UAP File on Objects Within 10 Feet of Helicopter as Skeptics Question Evidence
3 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 11
A newly declassified FBI interview report says fast-moving, “super-hot” unidentified objects came within about 10 feet of a helicopter during an aerial search near a military facility.
Infrared systems tracked the objects over roughly 20 miles at speeds the helicopter could not match before one abruptly changed direction; witnesses also described lights splitting, multiplying and repeating patterns for about 30 minutes.
The file stands out in Friday’s broader Pentagon UAP release because it includes a first-hand account from a senior U.S. intelligence official, multiple trained observers and sensor data, though the location and operating unit were not identified.
Sean Kirkpatrick, the former head of the Pentagon’s anomaly office, said the release contained nothing unexpected and warned that without analysis or context it would fuel speculation rather than explain the incidents.
The disclosure comes as the Pentagon faces wider concern that some unexplained activity near sensitive sites may reflect foreign surveillance platforms or drone incursions, not extraterrestrial craft.
Why is there no public physical evidence of UAPs despite decades of military encounters?
Are UAPs now being assessed as a military threat, not just a surveillance risk?
Could UAPs be information-based phenomena, as new theories suggest, rather than physical craft?
