The videos had been “circulating in the public domain after unauthorized releases in 2007 and 2017”, the statement said, adding that “the aerial phenomena observed in the videos remain characterized as ‘unidentified’”.
The three videos show what was encountered by pilots during training flights in 2004 and 2015. It is to be noted that the New York Times had published about two videos in 2017 and the third video was released by the To the Stars Academy of Arts and Science group, a media and private science organization.
Experts maintain that Pentagon's decision to declassify the videos will add to the legitimacy of the videos and will spark speculation that humans have interacted with extraterrestrials in the part.
