Watch Pentagon’s newly released Navy videos showing ‘unidentified aerial phenomena’ including infamous ‘Tic Tac’ clip
THE US Department of Defense on Monday officially released three videos showing pilots interacting with UFOs.
The Pentagon footage, which had previously been leaked and has been seen before, was set public following an investigation into whether the sensitive material revealed "any sensitive capabilities or systems".
"DOD is releasing the videos in order to clear up any misconceptions by the public on whether or not the footage that has been circulating was real, or whether or not there is more to the videos.
The incident unfolded during carrier group exercises in the Pacific, off the coast of Mexico, with six pilots in total spotting the strange sight.
But the scheme was disbanded in 2012.
The two incidents from 2015 show similar hovering objects.
Puzzled pilots can be heard questioning "What the f*** is that thing?!" as the UFO whizzes through the air.
It's the first time the DOD has declassified the footage after admitting the three creepy encounters were genuine in 2019.
Former senator, Harry Reid said he was "glad" the Pentagon had released the material, but hinted the clips "only scratched the surface".
He added: "The US needs to take a serious, scientific look at this and any potential national security implications. The American people deserve to be informed".
