A new video of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) has been released on a public hearing after the release of a "preliminary assessment" UAP report last June.
Intelligence officials at the Pentagon, America’s defence headquarters, opened up their real-life X Files when they were questioned by the US Congress on what they know about aliens.
Scott Bray, deputy director of Navy Intelligence, attended the House Subcommittee Hearing today (May 17) and said the government has recorded 400 reports of UAP sightings until now.
He played a new video, which was taken in 2021, and claimed it was one of the many examples that officials do not have the explanations behind the aerial movement.
The footage, taken from inside a cockpit in a US Navy aircraft, shows a spherical, reflective object in the sky before it quickly zooms past the aircraft and disappears out of sight.
Mr Bray told the committee: "The video shows observation in real time. That's in many cases, that's all our report may include and in many other cases, we have far less than this
"As we detailed both classified and unclassified versions of the preliminary assessment released by the office of the Director of National Intelligence last June, there's often limited amount of high quality data and reporting hampers our ability to draw firm conclusions about the nature or intent of UAP as details in the ODNI Report."
He carried on to explain that incidents that are resolved are likely to fall into one of five categories: airborne clutter, natural atmosphere phenomona, US government or US industry developmental programmes, foreign adversary systems, or an "other bin" that allows for a holding of difficult cases and for the possibility of potential scientific discovery.

Later into the hearing, Congressman Dr Brad Wenstrup asked Mr Bray if there is any explanation for the UAP shown in the video.
Mr Bray replied: "The video was taken while the aircraft was operating in a US Navy training range.
"We don't have an explanation for this specific object."
