U.S. Customs and Border Protection (which oversees U.S. Border Patrol) quietly dropped 12 UAP videos in August 2023, some of which are eerie and quite compelling. The drops came as the result of a FOIA request, and were made with little fanfare. In the story below, you can watch all 12 of the UFO videos. We’re presenting them in the order that the CBP numbered them.
The drop was made on the US CBP website here, and was listed as a “FOIA Record” drop, indicating they came as a result of FOIA requests (although it’s unclear which requests they were responding to.) Each downloadable video was posted to the government website under a ZIP file. We’ve taken each of the videos, downloaded them, and posted them on YouTube, as they’re available under public domain, so that you can more easily watch them.
The release came a couple of months after David Grusch testified to the House Oversight Committee, under oath, about 40 witnesses telling him the U.S. has a secret UAP retrieval and reverse engineering program.
U.S. Customs & Border Protection: UAP Video #1
This video was labeled: “Video pertaining to Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon 1.”
The video is greyed out in the beginning, likely due to portions being redacted. Once the video starts to run, you can still see that parts which might indicate what type of technology was used to record the video are still redacted.
U.S. Customs & Border Protection: UAP Video #2 in Two Videos
The second UAP had two videos connected to it. One was labeled: “Video pertaining to Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon 2.1” and the other was labeled “Video pertaining to Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon 2.2.”
Here’s 2.1:
And here’s 2.2:
U.S. Customs & Border Protection: UAP Video #3 in Two Videos
The second UAP had two videos connected to it. One was labeled: “Video pertaining to Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon 3.1” and the other was labeled “Video pertaining to Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon 3.2.”
Here’s 3.1:
And here’s the other video for UAP #3:
These appear to be the infamous “Rubber Duck” videos that were circulating the Internet earlier.
U.S. Customs & Border Protection: UAP Video #4
This video was labeled: “Video pertaining to Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon 4.”
This is perhaps one of the more compelling videos, as it appears to show an orb following a plane.
U.S. Customs & Border Protection: UAP Video #5
This video was labeled: “Video pertaining to Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon 5.”
This is a fuzzier, heavily redacted video that shows a bright colored orb, but it’s tough to make out the rest of the context.
U.S. Customs & Border Protection: UAP Video #6
This video was labeled: “Video pertaining to Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon 6.”
This is another video of a bright orb in a heavily redacted context.
U.S. Customs & Border Protection: UAP Video #7
This video was labeled: “Video pertaining to Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon 7.”
This video is highly similar to #4, and shows a UAP following a plane on April 14, 2021. It’s interesting that this one has a date, while #4 does not.
Here’s a screenshot of the orb with the plane:
U.S. Customs & Border Protection: UAP Video #8
This video was labeled: “Video pertaining to Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon 8.”
This one is so heavily redacted and blurred that you can’t read the date on the left.
U.S. Customs & Border Protection: UAP Video #9
This video was labeled: “Video pertaining to Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon 9.”
U.S. Customs & Border Protection: UAP Video #10
This video was labeled: “Video pertaining to Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon 10.”
We previously wrote about this video and compared it to a similar sighting on Skinwalker Ranch.
