US Congressional UAP Hearing: Former Officials Urge Greater Transparency

On May 4, the House Oversight and Accountability Committee held a UAP hearing with former Defense official David Grusch and former Navy pilot Ryan Graves testifying. Grusch alleged a Pentagon cover-up of a reverse-engineering program and presented an internal 2023 memo suggesting the government possesses non-human technology. Graves described multiple encounters off the Virginia coast from 2014-2015 where F/A-18s tracked spherical objects with no visible propulsion, which then vertically escaped at over 200 knots. Committee Chairman James Comer pledged to push legislation requiring AARO to release all unclassified reports.

Brazilian Air Force Releases Amazon UAP Radar Data

On May 3, the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) released radar logs from a December 2025 UAP incident over Santarém, Amazonas. The data shows three unidentified objects performing zigzag maneuvers at 40,000 feet at speeds exceeding 6,000 km/h for 18 minutes. An FAB spokesperson stated the objects emitted no transponder signals, and Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research (INPE) confirmed no known satellites or weather balloons were in the area. This marks the first proactive release of unclassified UAP data by the Brazilian military, drawing international research interest.

Japan SDF 2025 Annual UAP Report: 31 Incidents Set Record

Japan’s Ministry of Defense released its 2025 Annual Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Report on May 5, documenting 31 UAP incidents reported by SDF pilots and radar operators, a 35% increase from 23 in 2024. The report notes 12 cases involved ‘high-speed linear motion followed by sudden stops,’ while 5 incidents showed objects changing altitude by over 30,000 feet in seconds. The ministry stated it has established a data-sharing mechanism with the US AARO but found no evidence linking the phenomena to foreign military technology.

Nature Journal Publishes Study on UAP Radar Signatures

On May 4, the prestigious journal Nature published a study by Harvard University and the US Naval Research Laboratory analyzing 58 UAP events recorded by military radar systems from 2019 to 2023. The research found the objects exhibited average accelerations exceeding 100 G and could reverse direction within 0.1 seconds, far beyond known aircraft capabilities. Co-author astrophysicist Avi Loeb emphasized the data suggests ‘non-aerodynamic propulsion mechanisms’ and called for a global UAP radar network.
