A little less blurry, a little more interesting, a little more colorful, but still…no ET
The Pentagon on Friday released the second batch of files documenting unspecified anomalous phenomena.
The drop includes more than 50 previously classified videos and documents related to UAPs. The recordings include significantly clearer video than the first batch of footage, which was criticized for largely consisting of blurry orbs.
According to one written report, a senior US intelligence officer last year described “two large celestial bodies” that were “orange with a white or yellow center” and “emitting light in all directions.” The officer added that after the fighters’ stampede, “the same orbs we had encountered were now chasing the fighters… and we were almost speechless after these remarks.”
Some of the more interesting clips are below.
Here are color shots of the black ball:

*Multiple orb-like UAPs observed *moving in different directions* and making *apparent rapid changes in direction* in close proximity to the submarine. Some of them also appear to float on the surface of the ocean.

Orbs flying in formation over water:
Well, now it’s getting interesting because these UFOs seem to move like a saucer jumping through the water, or when you throw a smooth stone and it goes over the surface. Why is this important? Because one of the earliest experimental reports of a UFO came from Kenneth Arnold, and… https://t.co/CPeRyHq21z pic.twitter.com/X9PlvKtgkv
