The Department of Defense has authorized the release of
three unclassified Navy videos, one taken in November 2004 and the other two in
January 2015, which have been circulating in the public domain after
unauthorized releases in 2007 and 2017.
The U.S. Navy previously acknowledged that these videos circulating in
the public domain were indeed Navy videos.
After a thorough review, the department has determined that the
authorized release of these unclassified videos does not reveal any sensitive
capabilities or systems, and does not impinge on any subsequent investigations
of military air space incursions by unidentified aerial phenomena. DOD is
releasing the videos in order to clear up any misconceptions by the public on
whether or not the footage that has been circulating was real, or whether or
not there is more to the videos. The aerial phenomena observed in the videos
remain characterized as "unidentified." The released videos can be found at the Naval
Air Systems Command FOIA Reading Room:
