Official release

Release 02, on May 22, 2026, was dominated by 51 videos from a classified military network that eight House members had requested in March 2026, with informal uploader titles like “Spherical UAP Erratic movement” and the F-16 shootdown over Lake Huron. It also included Mercury and Apollo audio, the Sandia “green fireball” file, a Pantex radar image, a 1973 CIA report and an ODNI account from the senior official in the late-2025 orb case.[1]

Overall assessment

Assessment. The 51 videos are new, but AARO cautions that many lack chain of custody, dates or locations, and their titles reflect uploaders’ impressions. The NASA audio (“fireflies,” “lathe shavings”) documents effects explained in the 1960s as ice particles. The Sandia file is a valuable historical record of the 1948–1950 green-fireball wave.
