The latest selection of files includes a cache of 12 previously unseen videos of mystery objects sighted around the world.

The publication of the US government's secretive UFO files seems to be showing no signs of slowing down, as evidenced by yet another release - this time featuring 41 files.

One of the videos shows a strange object - described as a"cold orb" - that was said to be 4ft in diameter and capable of flitting around in irregular patterns.

It was captured on camera over the Gulf of Oman in 2021.

Another video included in the release shows a round sphere-shaped object that was observed flying in a straight line over an urban area somewhere in the Middle East.

There is also a clip showing a black spherical object over the Pacific back in 2019.

The files also include the testimony of a pilot who first observed something strange during a flight between Boston and Dublin in 2023.

Not only did he maintain that he had seen the same phenomenon as many as ten more times, but he also claimed that several other pilots he knew had reported encountering something very similar.

Such sightings would typically involve multiple white lights which would vary in speed and position - some traveling in straight lines and others stationary.

Overall, there isn't any particular "smoking gun" in the latest release, but the included files and videos are definitely worth a look for anyone with an interest in the UFO phenomenon.

As always, the files can be browsed and downloaded at https://www.war.gov/UFO/.
