A US military aircraft had a freaky chase encounter with a “super-hot” orb during a nighttime search mission just last year, the newly released UFO files show.
The bizarre incident unfolded when multiple military personnel were carrying out the search in a mountainous region close to an apparent government site, according to a heavily redacted document released by the Pentagon on Friday.
At one point, an official described seeing “a possible aircraft on the horizon moving away to the west,” the file reads.
Another then confirmed the sighting, saying “they spotted an orb… described as ‘super-hot’ hovering at ground level.”
The orb then apparently headed east at a “high rate of speed and then broke into two objects,” according to the file.
The document also details how one aircraft was “unable to match speed” and “broke off pursuit.”
