In the 1956 documentary, Delbert Newhouse said he was traveling with his wife and three children on vacation when he saw the objects, which he described as being in “a rough formation” and resembling “two saucers, one inverted over the other.”
The Pentagon released its sixth batch of declassified UFO records under the PURSUE program, featuring decades-old videos, witness reports, and investigative documents News9. The collection includes 1952 footage shot by Navy photographer Delbert Newhouse near Tremonton, Utah, who reported seeing 10 to 14 bright objects in formation, plus records of a classified military program that spent $22 million studying advanced technologies like warp drives and invisibility cloaking MeriTalk.
Tremonton Footage Resurfaces After Decades
The centerpiece of the release is Newhouse's 1952 film, which Project Blue Book investigators reviewed but never fully explained. Newhouse described the objects as resembling "two saucers, one inverted over the other" and said they flew in "a rough formation" News9. However, the film is not new to the public—it appeared in a 1956 documentary and had been available online for years, challenging Pentagon claims about a first-time public showing.
Military Program Investigated Exotic Technologies
Declassified files reveal a Defense Intelligence Agency contract with Robert Bigelow's BAASS organization to investigate UFO claims and speculative technologies 600WMTRadio. The program examined metallic gas, warp-drive concepts, and cloaking methods to make objects invisible. Records show the DIA spent $22 million on the long-running Skinwalker Ranch investigation, a remote Utah property associated with unusual phenomena claims.
Decades of Unresolved Sightings Near Weapons Sites
The batch includes a 1952 recording of Project Blue Book official Capt. Edward J. Ruppelt discussing early sightings and the Air Force's partnership with scientists and contractor Battelle Memorial Institute MeriTalk. Documents note that many unexplained reports clustered near military and weapons-testing locations. Pentagon officials stressed that unresolved sightings reflect insufficient data, not evidence of extraterrestrial life.
Trump Administration Continues UFO Disclosure Push
The release came under the PURSUE program—Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters—which began publishing records in May following a Trump executive order News9. The first tranche contained 161 files posted to the Defense Department's website on May 8. The sixth batch continues the ongoing effort to declassify decades of military UAP documentation and make it publicly available.
