UFO Sightings - MassLive (Topic Page)

📍 Location

📝 Description

Latest context combines MassLive's note about thousands of CIA UFO documents with public confirmation that three Navy UAP videos (FLIR1 from 2004 off San Diego and GIMBAL/GOFAST from 2015 off the U.S. East Coast) depict unidentified aerial phenomena with cockpit audio of pilots reacting in astonishment; while these videos are treated as unidentified and not explained, they are part of ongoing UAP investigations and FOIA declassification efforts. As of October–December 2025, CIA has continued releasing declassified materials related to UFOs, and DoD/Navy continue to acknowledge the authenticity of the footage while stopping short of attributing extraterrestrial origin.

🔍 Circumstances

Encounters occurred during U.S. Navy training flights: FLIR1 (November 14, 2004) off the Pacific coast near San Diego; GIMBAL and GOFAST (January 21, 2015) off the U.S. East Coast. The videos were released/acknowledged by the DoD and Navy in 2020–2021, and the events have been cited in media coverage as part of a broader, ongoing UAP research and declassification effort.

👤 Physical Description

Objects described as oblong/Tic Tac-shaped, white, with no visible propulsion or wings; some footage shows rotation or rapid movement; the observations defy conventional aircraft flight characteristics in the recorded segments.

ℹ️ Additional Details

MassLive's topic page is aligned with broader coverage of the CIA UFO collection. Public transcripts and audio have been the subject of scrutiny and discussions about transcription accuracy. In 2025, CIA posted additional declassified materials, underscoring ongoing FOIA-based release efforts; UAP investigations continue under AARO and related channels.
