On 7 August, the Pentagon issued its fifth public release of declassified Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) records. The disclosure comprises a collection of unresolved case files, including an FBI summary detailing a pilot's account of a silent, triangular object observed over Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan. While these documents are now part of the public record, the reported events remain unverified and do not provide evidence of extraterrestrial origin or activity.
The Bagram account dates back to 2002, when a pilot told FBI agents he and another pilot were stargazing at about 4:30 a.m. They allegedly watched stars disappear above them before what the witness described as a huge object passed overhead.
