Pentagon Releases New UFO Videos, Prompting Biblical Comparisons
The Trump administration released 46 new UFO videos on May 24, 2026, as part of an ongoing declassification effort ordered by President Donald Trump. Two videos show unidentified objects recorded over water by U.S. military satellites, which some observers have compared to angels and biblical cherubim. The footage was captured on June 1, 2020, by a U.S. Central Command satellite and in 2024 by a U.S. Indo-Pacific Command satellite, according to the Daily Mail.
The release follows months of congressional pressure led by Representative Tim Burchett (R-TN) and a February 2026 executive order directing the Department of War to declassify records related to unidentified anomalous phenomena.
Video Details and Public Reaction
One video from June 1, 2020, depicts a humanoid object with wing-like protrusions flying over an undisclosed body of water, recorded by a satellite operated by U.S. Central Command. Virtual communication platforms’ users commenting on the footage described it as resembling an angel, with one commenter stating, “This UFO looks almost like an angel,” according to the Daily Mail. A second video, documented by U.S. Indo-Pacific Command in 2024, shows an eight-pointed, shape-shifting object that some observers have likened to the biblical Cherubim described in the Book of Ezekiel.
The London Mail reported that the second video marks the second time in May that a UFO was compared to the biblical vehicle described as having “wheels within wheels”. Federal officials who documented the videos cautioned that the footage descriptions were provided for informational purposes and should not be interpreted as proof of the objects’ nature or origin.
Religious Leaders Respond
Texas pastor Josh Howerton stated on X that the eight-pointed object aligns with descriptions in the Book of Ezekiel, suggesting an overlap between biblical cosmology and UFO phenomena. “What I am trying to point out is the very possible overlap between a Biblical cosmology and some of the aspects you’re seeing on your timeline,” Howerton wrote.
Author John Scott Chace, in his book Project Blue Book Top Secret UFO Files – The Untold Truth, dedicates the work to God and Jesus Christ, stating his belief that God “created the Angels of heaven, people on Earth and the beings of different worlds according to His Will,” reflecting a perspective that links UFO phenomena to biblical frameworks.
100PercentFedUp reported that attendees of the private meeting were told by government officials that disclosure about extraterrestrial crafts and beings is imminent.
Disclosure Timeline and Official Caveats
The videos were made public after President Trump ordered Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to declassify UFO records, following months of congressional pressure led by Representative Tim Burchett. The Pentagon uploaded the latest batch to a dedicated website as part of the Trump administration’s ongoing declassification of once-secret records. Officials cautioned that the footage descriptions are for informational purposes and not proof of the objects’ nature or origin. Eight of the 46 videos had been previously leaked to an investigative journalist before the official release. The belief among many Americans, as noted by authors Tom DeLonge and Peter Levenda in Sekret Machines: War, is that the defence establishment holds knowledge of the UFO phenomenon far in excess of that of ordinary people.
Conclusion
Further UFO file releases are expected from the Pentagon, but an exact date for the third batch has not been announced. Representative Burchett stated that the initial drops are “a drop in the bucket” compared to what is coming. The comparisons to biblical entities have intensified debate among religious groups and UFO researchers, as the administration continues to push for transparency on the subject.
