Newly declassified videos Friday by U.S. military officials is truly compelling for believers of extraterrestrial life.


In one video released by the Department of War, a fighter jet has its sights set on an unidentified flying object (UFO) or unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) and blows it up into multiple pieces in a “high energy event” over Lake Huron two days before Valentines Day.

The object appeared in the crosshairs and was obliterated by the shooter on board an F-16 C soon after.

“At the 20 second mark, the footage appears to depict a kinetic interaction between two distinct areas of contrast, with the initial subject of the footage fragmenting in a radial displacement pattern that suggests a high energy event,” the video description said.

While the Pentagon knows a lot of things, this object may be one less for their records.

“Readers should not interpret any part of this description as reflecting an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination regarding the described event’s validity, nature, or significance,” the description on the Dept. of War website said.


The video was part of the second batch of UFO files released by the U.S. government under an executive order by President Donald Trump.

“The Department of War is in lockstep with President Trump to bring unprecedented transparency regarding our government’s understanding of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena,” U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said in a statement. “These files, hidden behind classifications, have long fuelled justified speculation and it is time the American people see it for themselves.”

These fresh files are all available on the Department of War’s website. Among the 64 files released, six are PDFs, seven are audio, and 51 are video.

Are we alone out there?
Don’t expect questions about life beyond Earth to be answered anytime soon. The videos, which mostly capture encounters between UAPs and military aircraft, are mostly undecipherable, low resolution grainy clips of unidentifiable brown, grey or black objects darting around on a dark background.


Even the government itself is unable to identify what is now part of the public record.

“The materials archived here are unresolved cases, meaning the government is unable to make a definitive determination on the nature of the observed phenomena,” the Department of War said in a release.

Friday’s release was the second in a series of anticipated unveilings.

Worldwide reaction seems positive
On May 8, the Pentagon dropped its first series of files from various government agencies, with some dating back to the 1940s.

“The American people can now access the federal government’s declassified UAP files instantly,” Pentagon Public Affairs said in a release at the time. “The latest UAP videos, photos, and original source documents from across the entire United States government are all in one place — no clearance required.”

According to the Dept. of War, those files released two weeks ago have already received more than a billion views worldwide.

“In an effort for Complete and Maximum Transparency, it was my Honor to direct my Administration to identify and provide Government files related to Alien and Extraterrestrial Life, Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, and Unidentified Flying Objects,” Trump said at the time in a statement.

“Whereas previous Administrations have failed to be transparent on this subject, with these new Documents and Videos, the people can decide for themselves, “WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?” Have Fun and Enjoy!”

The Dept. of War says a third batch of files “will be announced in the near future.”

Lab worker who vanished last year found dead in New Mexico
She was the second person who worked at the lab to go missing in 2025

The body of a woman who worked at a New Mexico laboratory was discovered nearly one year after she disappeared without a trace.


Melissa Casias, 53, was reported missing on June 26, 2025, after she dropped lunch off for her daughter and failed to return to work or show up at home.

Casias’ disappearance sparked concern after her family discovered that her personal belongings, including her purse, identification, and cell phones, had been left behind, prompting a missing person investigation.

She was last seen at about 2:15 p.m. local time walking along a highway and was classified as a “missing endangered” person, according to an advisory bulletin issued by New Mexico State Police at the time.

Last week, a hiker came upon the remains in the McGaffey Ridge area of the Carson National Forest, about 24 km from Taos, where Casias lived.

A handgun was found near the remains, state police said in a news release.

What’s going on at the Los Alamos National Laboratory?
Casias was employed as an administrative assistant at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, her niece Jazmin McMillen told KRQE last year.


She was the second person who worked at the lab to go missing last year, following the disappearance of former employee Anthony Chavez, 78, on May 8, 2025.

Both were among a group of at least 10 missing or dead scientists and laboratory workers with ties to sensitive nuclear or space technology labs, including Los Alamos National Laboratory and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Most were involved in nuclear science and space research, with some connected to the study of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs), and some directly linked to space defence technologies now being commercialized by SpaceX and Blue Origin.

The FBI launched an investigation into possible connections between the cases after the House Oversight Committee had already begun a probe into allegations that people connected to “U.S. nuclear secrets or rocket technology” had died or vanished in recent years.

“Public reports raise questions about a possible sinister connection between a string of mysterious deaths and disappearances which began in 2023,” House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., and Rep. Eric Burlison, R-Mo., wrote in an April 20 letter to FBI Director Kash Patel.


Authorities have not announced any link between Casias’ death and the other cases.

It is unclear how Casias died or whose handgun was found beside her body.

The medical examiner’s office will conduct tests to determine the cause and manner of her death, police said.

Family confirms the discovery
The family released a statement on the social media page called “Find Melissa Mondragon Casias,” which has been dedicated to her case.

“We confirm that the remains found in Rio Chiquito are Melissa,” they said in the statement.

“There will be more information to come but what we can tell you now is she was located in an area previously searched,” the family continued. “This is a lot to process, our hearts are heavy and we fully intend to continue to pursue answers for justice.”

The investigation “remains active and ongoing,” police said in a statement.

“The New Mexico State Police extend their deepest condolences to the Casias and Mondragon families during this difficult time.”

Archbishop removes exorcist priest over ‘demonic’ UFO comments
The exorcist of nearly 20 years issued his own statement, noting he is “saddened” by the archdiocese’s decision

A Catholic archbishop was compelled to expel a prominent exorcist following public comments he made linking UFOs to the work of demons.


Monsignor Stephen Rossetti, a priest of the Diocese of Syracuse, N.Y., was removed “as an exorcist of the Archdiocese of Washington,” Cardinal Robert McElroy said in a statement on the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington’s website.

It also noted that “all affiliation between the archdiocese and the Saint Michael Center for Spiritual Renewal located in Washington, D.C.” has also come to an end.

McElroy noted statements made by Rossetti “linking UFOs to demonic presence and the Center’s recent use of social media gravely undermine the Church’s very precise teaching on the devil, demons and exorcism.”

What did the priest say?
In a May 29 video shared on his Facebook page and on YouTube, Rossetti said he believes that “many, if not most of these UFO sightings are, in fact, demons,” adding that such entities “can do things that we canʼt do, such [as] the speed and all sorts of things that human beings canʼt do.”


He explained in the footage: “There’s a danger here. As an exorcist I wanted to raise that danger. And that is that demons like to hide… They don’t want us to know what they’re doing because they’re more effective when we don’t realize it.”

He added: “They can kind of get into your head, you know, and manipulate things in the world to influence us to do evil.”

The video that prompted Rossetti’s dismissal has since been scrubbed from social media pages.

Priest weighs in on dismissal
The exorcist of nearly 20 years issued his own statement on the St. Michael’s Center website, noting he is “saddened” by the archdiocese’s decision.

“I ask forgiveness for any ways that I have not been faithful to the teachings of the Church’s Magisterium, particularly in the cited video on ‘aliens and the demonic,’” he continued.

“I believe it is of the utmost importance to be obedient to the Church and I will continue to endeavor to subject all that I do and the Center to be thus obedient.”




Rossetti added: “I am grateful for 19 years of ministering in the Archdiocese of Washington as its exorcist and I thank the Archdiocese for its support and blessing all these years.”

The St. Michael Center “conducts spiritual education workshops and trains clergy, religious, and laity,” led by Rossetti, according to its site, as well as “prays with people who are spiritually suffering and in need of healing and deliverance.”

He noted that the Catholic nonprofit “plans to continue its ministry elsewhere.”

‘Disclosure Day’ is Spielberg’s beautiful plea to all of us
Author of the article:Washington Post
Washington Post
Gene Park, The Washington Post
Published Jun 11, 2026 • 4 minute read

Every Steven Spielberg film about the sky has felt like a question directed at the universe. “Disclosure Day” is a question aimed squarely at us, and it feels like he’s impatient for our answer.


Spielberg’s father once woke him in the middle of the night for a drive to a New Jersey park to witness a sky full of meteors. He’s been chasing that feeling of terror and wonder, when the universe reminds you that it is far larger than our understanding of it. “Disclosure Day,” which opens Friday, is his attempt to chase it one more time.


He calls it a bookend to “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” and that framing is generous to both works. “Close Encounters” remains the superior work, a masterpiece drunk on wonder. But “Disclosure Day” is more in conversation with “Minority Report,” Spielberg’s 2002 summer blockbuster that challenged the mind and asked what humans would do with more information than we’re meant to have. “Disclosure Day” asks what it means when such information belongs to everyone on the planet.

The film’s emotional anchor is Emily Blunt, playing Margaret Fairchild, a Kansas City journalist and meteorologist whose careful, professional and curated life begins to fall apart in spectacular and often hilarious ways. Something in her is suddenly rewired. She perceives people differently now, more completely, in ways that empower her as much as they unsettle her and everyone around her, including her hapless boyfriend, played by Wyatt Russell.


She is genuinely funny in ways only dramatic characters can be, because the comedy is rooted in her character’s sanity straining against an unbelievable situation. She tries to destroy her smartphone before she can be tracked and asks her bewildered partner to run it over, only for him to fail. She has to get out and reposition it herself. That gap between what she knows and what she can’t explain is the film’s comic engine, and Blunt runs it at full throttle.

Her performance is mercurial, moving effortlessly between terror, confusion and deadpan comic frustration. Spielberg characters have always felt so real that they’re like family, and Margaret is another classic lead.

Our other hero is Daniel Kellner (Josh O’Connor), a cybersecurity expert on the run who carries the film’s central revelation, that the government and its contractors are hiding the existence of aliens from the world. Spielberg, refreshingly, lets us know what Kellner knows early. The film is more concerned about transmission and transparency: How do you make people understand something that shatters everything they thought was true?


His girlfriend, Jane (Eve Hewson in the other standout performance), is a former nun who anchors these questions ably, but sadly she doesn’t stay very long in a story with a busy, rotating cast of heroes and villains – including the main antagonist, Colin Firth as Noah Scanlon, the head of defense contractor Wardex.

Firth and his rather large team of villainous agents feel busy but largely play one note as obstacles. The story gestures at the reasoning for Scanlon’s obsession with secrecy but doesn’t commit to it. The story and the camera are mostly concerned with the heroes, and they carry the film’s 145-minute run time.

The action sequences in service of this chase are Spielberg at his most kinetic. Spielberg’s longtime cinematographer, Janusz Kaminski (“Saving Private Ryan”), plants a camera inside a house as Kellner’s car tears through the wall. In a single shot, we watch him scoop up Jane into the vehicle while agents framed through the wall’s rubble run toward them and the audience. In the next cut, the car erupts out the other side, and the shot cranes from ground level to overhead as black cars swarm behind Kellner, compressing the chase into a single, vertiginous image. The danger transforms from human to systemic in one glorious sweep.


The third act leans on some convenient storytelling that relies on MacGuffin items and coincidences that announce themselves a little too loudly. But Spielberg’s concern here is emotional arrival, not satisfying plot mechanics. “Disclosure Day” feels like a story about what we owe each other in a world that’s spent generations organizing itself around comforting lies, and whether the truth will break or connect us. These characters, including Wardex defectors that assist the pair, believe with boundless sincerity that people deserve the truth.

It’s a film about how the upheaval of everything we know is not a tragedy in waiting but the opening to a new way to live. This is not a disaster film because Spielberg doesn’t believe disclosure is a catastrophe. His renewed interest in aliens and disclosure stems from a 2017 New York Times article on the Pentagon’s secret UFO program. It’s clear he has deep love for the real-life community of truth seekers. He refers to people who made contact as “experiencers,” a well-known term among believers.

Spielberg’s story isn’t conspiratorial. It’s a spectacular tale about what we see, what we hear, and how both can change what we believe and how we treat each other. By the final frame of this beautiful, immersive film, you realize it’s a plea.

REVIEW: ‘Disclosure Day’ is Spielberg’s beautiful plea to all of us

"Disclosure Day" is a question aimed squarely at us, and it feels like Steven Spielberg's impatient for our answer.
