Files that had remained in the Pentagon's archives for years have now turned attention back to the skies over the UAE.

The U.S. Department of Defense has released a collection of documents, images, and videos related to "unidentified aerial phenomena" or UAP; files that some of them are directly related to the waters surrounding the UAE and the Middle East.

One of the most controversial videos is from June 1, 2024; when an American aircraft captured a strange object with a thermal camera while flying over Oman. In the mission report, this object is described as if a vertical rod was attached beneath it and it was moving rapidly over the water. Some observers have also suggested that the recorded image might just be a reflection of an object on the water's surface.

Other videos show small, fast objects passing by ships, buildings, or over the sea; images that resemble military tracking more than anything seen in science fiction films.

So far, the Pentagon has not provided any evidence regarding extraterrestrial beings and has even stated that some of these objects may be commercial or recreational drones.

The release of these documents came after an order from Donald Trump; he said his aim was "greater transparency" so that people could judge for themselves about these videos.

However, the UFO saga remains one of the most mysterious discussions in the world; from rumors about crashed spacecraft in the Nevada desert to claims about secret military projects. Now, the recorded videos near the UAE have revived this old question:

What exactly was seen in the sky?
