A newly released fifth tranche of UFO files held by the Department of War offers quite a few examples of strange lights in the sky, but nothing close to credible evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence. Still, the files had much to say about recent, widely publicized incidents involving UFOs — and the U.S. government’s engagement with them.
The most interesting report in this tranche was a 2021 Gulf of Oman incident involving an AC-130 gunship firing on small, fast-moving objects that appeared to evade the American aircraft’s shots. Similar reports often turn out to be balloons, drones, birds, flares, or optical illusions that sometimes manifest under combat conditions where there is limited resolution.
