A series of UFO videos – including never-before-seen footage – were quietly released by federal law enforcement authorities last month.
The US Customs and Border Patrol, the agency responsible for keeping terrorists and their weapons out of the country, has uploaded ten videos that appear to show craft moving in strange ways in our skies.
The videos were released on August 9 without warning, a press release or much context, and were only discovered this week by UFO enthusiasts and online sleuths.
The videos document a fighter jet being chased by an apparently baffling flying sphere, as well as what appears to be a propeller-driven hang glider, and another apparent sphere hovering near a parked 16-wheeler truck.

But perhaps most significantly, the US CBP release confirms, at least tacitly, the veracity of a heavily researched 2013 thermal UFO video that was leaked to UFO researchers in 2015. UFO video has been confirmed for the first time since the leak on April 25, 2013 in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico
The videos were released on a special site for agency data made public through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.
But perhaps most importantly, the release confirms, at least tacitly, the veracity of a heavily researched 2013 thermal UFO video that was leaked to UFO researchers in 2015.
For the first time since the leak, the April 25, 2013 UFO video from Aguadilla, Puerto Rico has been confirmed by the US government as truly unidentifiable.
The videos were accompanied by a 389-page PDF document purportedly from UAP data held internally at US Customs.
While the paperwork includes plenty of chaff, news clippings, and already public government reports, the FOIA drop also included internal emails detailing the law enforcement agency’s UFO case deliberations.
Several agency emails from August 2021 document an exchange between a UFO enthusiast and his superior regarding efforts to comply with the spirit of then-recent congressional legislation on UFOs and the resulting UAP Task Force report.
“As a pet project or for fun, do all the research you want,” the redacted official wrote to the CBP equivalent of The X-Files FBI agent Fox Mulder. “I know this topic is of great interest to you and there is a lot of information to sort through.”
“There is simply no opportunity for formal investigation or reporting of findings or conclusions,” the redacted official emphasized.
The CPB employee, who was also redacted, responded: “T4… I apologize, and took the UAP report from the Director of National Intelligence seriously.”
In another video, released via FOIA by US Customs and Border Protection, another apparent orb can be seen floating near a parked 16-wheeler truck
But the release also contains more than twenty tantalizing pages that have been edited in their entirety.
For each statute, each page states the legal statute under which the American CBP may withhold this information.
The majority of these redactions were justified under the b(5) And b(7)e exemptions clauses of the federal FOIA law.
Investigative journalists and advocates of open government have called the b(5) exemption the ‘Withholding it because you want an exemption‘ because its guidelines were even described as ‘opaque’ by the US Department of Justice.
The waiver, as described, gives government agencies the right to withhold “interagency or interagency memoranda or letters that would not be available to a party under law.”
Another video shows a strange glowing orb, but the videos were released with little context, making it difficult to contextualize them
The b(7)e exemption essentially covers law enforcement’s own “sources and methods” as it withholds details that would “reveal techniques and procedures of law enforcement investigations or prosecutions” and other material that officials believe would be “reasonably can be expected to entail the risk’. circumvention of the law.’
To that end, several of the released videos notably redacted most of the heads-up display information from U.S. CBP’s infrared or thermal video recordings: which would likely contain data on this UAP’s altitude, bearing, and range .
This is a developing story and will be updated as new information emerges.
