Military UFO Footage Hidden For 12 Years Now Released

A newly released military video is raising serious questions about government transparency on UFOs and whether sitting presidents actually have access to classified UAP programs.

According to journalists George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell on their Weaponized podcast, footage filmed on August 23, 2012 over the Persian Gulf shows three thermal signatures moving in triangular formation. The objects demonstrated abrupt directional changes and intelligent control with no traditional propulsion or thermal signatures, according to official Department of Defense documentation. The footage was classified until journalists obtained and released it to the public.

The video comes amid growing debate about presidential access to UFO information. Whistleblower David Grusch stated in a November 2025 Fox News interview that President Trump is very knowledgeable on the UAP topic. Former Pentagon insider Lue Elizondo sent Trump a memo urging the appointment of a UAP czar and mandatory declassification of UFO records.

However, the Sol Foundation highlighted a critical contradiction. According to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, generals and admirals told the Senate Intelligence Committee that secret UAP retrieval and reverse engineering programs exist, and that presidents are not informed of them. This suggests elected leaders serve four to eight years while career intelligence officials and defense contractors hold institutional knowledge for decades.

Investigative journalist Ross Coulthart addressed disclosure speculation on Reality Check, stating he does not see an announcement happening anytime soon despite ongoing FBI investigations. He noted that even with administration sources telling him to be patient, no results have materialized.

The documentary Age of Disclosure broke Amazon Prime’s record for highest grossing documentary within 48 hours, indicating massive public interest. Yet public interest does not equal presidential access, leaving open the question of who actually controls this information.
