CBP releases videos of unidentified aerial phenomena 

Big respect to NBC for this. Proper reporting on this is needed.

I'm a Border patrol agent and about 13 years ago I was on duty near Brownsville TX when myself and about 300 other Agents all watched a big purple light crossing near the Rio Grande. 300 plus agents seen it from around Falcon Lake to Brownsville all at the same time. I watched it come in horizontal and it stopped straight ahead of our position and it dropped straight down. The radio traffic was off the hook.

This man seems to be the most open minded and aware reporter ever. Cool guy

Please keep covering this and pushing for disclosure.

Thank you for covering this without ridicule.

That disappearing into the water thing, seems to be a fairly consistent phenomenon with these UPA sightings.

"Everything from a pelican to a UFO" Thank you, that really narrows it down.

While serving in Iraq, many times, at night many of us would see multiple round lights in the sky, moving around in all directions, as if they were insects flying around, but in the sky, like satellites, best described, as orbs. I hate saying that, because the explanation seems so simple, but orbs of light was the best way to explain it. Ive wondered about this for many years since.

A craft that could travel in the air and underwater with the same ease is like a Holy Grail for a military craft.

No way somebody said that was a pelican 😂

We definitely need more major media coverage of this important topic. We are not alone

When it dipped in the water with same speed….. it’s no debate

Thank you for staying on top of this story. I look forward to more reports on this subject.

I never believed in UFO's until about 8 years ago when I was on a cruise in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico. So, sitting on my balcony about 12 a.m., just stargazing. I've always loved looking at night sky full of stars. Of the millions of stars, I focused in on 3 of the furthest looking ones. Just looking and thinking. Then, the three stars started moving! Closer together, then spread apart...closer together, then spread apart. Did that about 4 times. Then, the 3 stars shot to the left side of the sky! Then to the right! Back and forth until they were about 1000-2000 feet in front of me. By then, they weren't 3 stars anymore. They were 6-8 circular lights twirling, shifting, floating. Then they just hovered there on the side of the ship...almost like they were "watching/studying" the boat. Hovered there for about 2 minutes. Then, they shot off past the front of the boat. Finally, out of sight in a flash. It all happened so fast and it was like I was so shocked trying to make sense of what I was witnessing. I always thought people who talked about UFO's were crazy, until I saw that. Weird weird weird.

Man things are getting strange.

You have never been alone.

I’m glad to see a major media outlet actually starting to report this seriously now… but sadly they have a lot of catching up to do and they’re still not asking the right questions… like when are more investigative journalists going to start digging into the allegations of David Grusch?

I’ve only talked about this in detail with one person and his wife. I’ve kept it from everyone else in my life for fear I’d be considered crazy, but many of these phenomenons are REAL. The beings operating them are REAL… and I don’t know if anyone else here feels as relieved as I do that the existence of these crafts and their operators is finally being discussed by legitimate media organizations. I witnessed what I have always believed was extraterrestrial phenomena when I was eight-years-old, seventeen-years-old, and forty-two-years-old. At eight, my parents had a house in Cold Spring, New York. I never had an issue with being there by day, but I felt nothing but terror there at night. I always felt like someone or someTHINGS were outside, watching the house at night and I often heard things outside that sounded like “people” moving around the house. Every time I heard these things around the house, ALL of the wildlife was silent. One night, I heard something at the back of the house. My bedroom window overlooked that area. Right beneath my window was a porch light on an upside down U-shaped pole that held the light out from the back door by about three feet. I saw the shadows of circular shapes moving around and through the circle of light from the lamp in intricate patterns, but there was NOTHING visible under the bulb blocking its light to create those shadows. I heard rustling in the “snowball bushes” that were just barely outside the circle of light from the lamp and I looked at them as quickly as possible. I saw a parts of a handful of beings who were barely as tall as I was; a couple upper limbs, a couple lower limbs, the top of a head, and a hand that had been holding part of a bush away from its face. The moment I saw them, they seemed to disappear into the foliage and the one whose hand I had seen let go of the bushes’s branches so they sprang back up, concealing its face. At seventeen and after an absence of five years, I was back at that house. Despite having been gone for five years, nothing had changed except for things in the sky. The inexplicable shadows were still appearing, the feeling that something was watching the house was worse than ever, the sounds of something moving around outside at night were more frequent and louder, and the usual sounds of wildlife were absent more frequently. As for the sky above us at night, I often saw lights and shapes that moved in ways no terrestrial technology could have achieved. After just two weekends of that, I demanded that my manager schedule me to work every single weekend just so I would have to stay in Manhattan rather than have to go back to that house. Eventually, I moved to California where I neither heard or saw anything unusual or as terrifying as what I kept seeing in New York. I really thought my experiences with this were over, but a couple drives through Marin County brought it all roaring back. There was the night I was driving through Tiburon toward the Bay Bridge at night when I saw an enormous orb hovering over the bay next to the bridge. I saw it through my windshield, slowed down, and watched it as it began to move. It moved rapidly in straight lines and it moved at 90° angles just as rapidly. I knew I wasn’t the only person to see it because everyone on the road slowed down as I had and a few people pulled over. That orb stayed there for around another three minutes, sometimes hovering and sometimes moving in ways no terrestrial craft could have. It finally left in a shot so rapid that if any terrestrial craft had moved so rapidly it would have caused a sonic boom, but this orb made no sound whatsoever. The other incident was further north from Tiburon. Instead of taking the Bay Bridge, I took a route to Concord that skipped the bridge, but took me across a long, dark, country road that was practically empty at night and whose course included a few miles through wetlands where there were no houses, business, or other buildings of any type. Not two minutes into my drive along that stretch of road the lights appeared. I don’t think they had flown there just as I was driving that road. I think they were there, scoping the area before I got anywhere near that road. It felt like a scene out of “Closer Encounters Of The Third Kind,” but with crafts that didn’t have such artistic lighting. There were eight of them surrounding my car, two on each side, but I didn’t know it until their lights came on. It was the middle of the night, but my car and the area around my car appeared as bright as day because of the intensity of the lights. I knew they weren’t other terrestrial ground vehicles because the ones on sides of my car would have had to move through the wetlands at 70MPH to keep up with me. I also knew they couldn’t be terrestrial because they were hovering above my car as evidenced by the direction in which their lights shone and by the fact that they made NO SOUND. I only let them surround me for around thirty seconds before I decided to floor it in order to get away from them. I went from 70MPH to 110MPH and they PACED ME WITHOUT ANY SOUND. We were all less than a quarter of a mile from a traffic light when all their lights shut down. I had been prepared to run the traffic light if it was red, but it hadn’t occurred to what I should do if they left before I got to the traffic light. The light WAS red and bringing my speed down from 110MPH to a complete stop in just an eighth of a mile at that point became just as terrifying as it was when those crafts surrounded me.

Excellent reporting. Taking it seriously. Adding to the push for what we hope will be a true move towards fuller disclosure.

Thank you for covering this

Wow the distortion field is so clear in this video

Customs and Border protection: "we couldn't stop the illegal aliens, we didn't want to provoke an intergalactic incident..."

I saw this like 6 or 7 years ago and could never find the video again. Glad its back on the surface.

@NBC Thank you for reporting on this topic without ridicule.

its actaully a bit scary when you consider that their aircraft can survive underwater, which leads me to ask if they're living down there?

With all the massive shocks people have been through the past decade I think we've become a little less reactionary each time so I'm glad issues like this, issues that make everything else seem unimportant, are being discussed in a civil fashion with an open mind.

"could be anything" sums it up.

It is very much not hard to comprehend that life outside of earth absolutely exists

My dad and I saw a UFO near the Vermont/Canadian border in 1975; a spinning white disk like a frisbee only impossibly high in the sky; we were in our Mercury station wagon and it was following us, I lost track of it but Dad saw it speed off; I remember it like yesterday and will never, ever forget it.

When it goes into the water the compass arrow at the top left of the screen moves much slower than when it's flying through the air. This suggests that the object did slow down significantly when it entered the water. It could also just be moving in a direction away from the camera and not moving left to right, but it is difficult to tell from the video.

I have seen them several times. When it happens to you your mind tries to comprehend what your seeing and nothing but WOW comes to mind. I have seen all my sightings in lorain Ohio next to Lake Erie. First started noticing them in 2021.

Wild! I for one am glad the general public are finally being shown some video of these interesting and wildly intriguing aircraft. Ever since the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind I've been deeply interested in this subject. Keep those videos and information coming.

it was me, I threw out that frisbee with so much speed back in 2013

Usually people think that it’s just a camera sensor artifact rather than an actual unidentified object

We want full disclosure. Keep up the coverage.

Still waiting for a non blurry, non pixilated video of these objects. 4k with a nice 10x lens would be nice.

Wow, This is one of the first times I've seen a major news network actually report on this

Thank you for the coverage

I saw one here in Japan. Amazing! My friend saw it too.

Be very careful. Ask yourself why they are suddenly ok with sharing these videos and why they only shared these ones. Usually when they want to make a big move that will change the country especially in the law and policies area or even with foreign policy, they will make the country focus on something else (like this) so that they can slip it by without anyone noticing. Look for the big picture.

The fact that we still cannot differentiate a bird from a craft with the most advanced radar and camera systems really tells a lot about our technological capabilities...

Makes me want to watch the old X-Files DVDs again. "The truth is out there"😅

People thought I was so weird as a kid for being interested in these unknown objects now we have major news outlets reporting them seriously now

*Object travels Mach 2 News: it could be balloons

Absolutely amazing video NBC thank you!!

There's an in-depth scientific report on this object. Individual frames are broken down pixel by pixel and thermally analysed. When the object splits in two, it has two separate heat signatures. The report concludes that the object behaves in ways that defy our current understanding, and remains unidentified.

I was hanging out about a year ago when my biological mom spots a strange object in the sky, shooting strange beams. It was weird...

Why didn't they show it splitting into 2 afterwards, as it does in the full video

Notice how rapidly the compass in the upper left is turning. The aircraft we are viewing from is moving past the object, and the camera is panning to keep it in view as the aircraft passes (causing the compass to rotate). This object conceivably could be at a near standstill while the aircraft passes, and due to parallax (especially with a very zoomed-in view) the background will appear to move behind the object. The object is mysterious, but the apparent rapid movement is probably an illusion.

Yes. Keep this topic coming! ❤

I heard someone say awhile back that they believed this type of stuff is finally being released and talked about so that we would be better prepared when slapped with a much bigger piece of the puzzle, i.e. the existence of extraterrestrials or some unknown advanced civilization, etc. Being that there seems to be some logic to that statement, I definitely believe that it may actually be correct. Then again, it may not even be close to valid, so who knows.

Thank you for covering this!

I saw two triangular craft hovering in the sky over a field. I can’t say they were alien but the craft seemed very advanced. No sound, the both hung in the air without even moving & the one object had this strange look to it like it was partially invisible / blended into the sky. This occurred back in 1999 & who’s ever technology was that was amazing.

1903 - First flight 1969 - Man lands on the moon 2023 - Still can't figure out how to capture a high resolution photo or video of UAP, despite the immense technological feats civilization has achieved today

Sounds like a bunch of aliens escaped Area 51 sometime after 2013 and we need to recapture them. Lol.

I'm not saying it was aliens, but it was aliens.

No splash either from traveling at that speed.

I live on Puerto Rico, and when my dad was younger, he said he remembered seeing something stranger than when we saw in this video, he even did a drawing on how it looked like, it was like a helicopter sized, or bigger, ship that was slowly moving to somewhere i don't know where, it had lights spinning around it and it looked like a silver space capsule, but what's more weird is that it didn't even make a sound, but my guess is that all that story was just a dream he probably remembers.

Is that gravitational lensing we see around the object?

The amazing thing about this UAP video is the fact that this object is flying at a high speed in the air, and when it goes into the ocean, the craft/object maintains its' speed despite the ocean water's resistance.

crazy idea..... imagine these things/aliens are actually underneath our oceans and they have full civilisations down there.....

As a licenced drone operator I was like, definitely a drone. Until it hit the water. I'm stumped.

Great reporting

Simple answer, they cannot tell us what they are if they do not know themselves...

Going in and out of the water with zero effect is incredible. You can see the water splashing and moving out of its way…could be a propulsion system that is so powerful and advanced that it instantly corrects for increased drag with increased power at a real time rate. That would accomplish what we see. Or some sort of anti grav unit where force just doesn’t apply to it

I'm not at all surprised....in fact, it explains EVERYTHING.

the captions are wild 😭😭

I saw one last 2018 , its a circle frisbee shape , its far beyond an airplane altitude and travel faster than a jet here in the philippines

"Bring me a video captured by your Iphone" -Neil Degrasse Tyson

I saw this while at the forklift working. The same day a kid in carolina went missing

And the parameters on the screen are static.....bravo

So one thing is for sure... they do have more videos and images that clearly show what's been happening.

How convenient, news like this at this hour. It’s midnight

Truly exceptional❕

Where can we find the 387 pages and videos?

The object apparently flying under water could be a parallax, a perspective or a refraction effect as it doesn't seem to disturb the water surface as it would at this apparent speed.

What ever happened to the family in the las vegas incident a few months back? Any update?

You will see the same pain of UAP in the footage from the 2012 earthquake tsunami in Japan. The same air to water flight characteristics and indeed the same pair of craft.

What's the speed of the object in question??

Chris Mellon is a living legend 🐐 keep up the great work!

Good for NBC News for covering this important topic.

Thr one that went into Ocean has been calculated at going at over 100mph when entering the water! Crazy!

A pelican? LOL If that's a pelican she really knows how to move!

Studying these sightings will help the public feel more comfortable about what’s really going on. I think the government was concerned about mass panic, but we want to know more.

Poor aliens... They were looking for intelligent life, too, but then they found Trump and flew away :(

Who is releasing these videos? Where are they being released from? Who are they being released to? What format are they being released in (dvd, VHS, mp4, ect)? Are they being mailed? Hand-delivered? Given out at secret locations? I have questions and I have yet to hear the answers.

Things we don’t know… 1) what it is 2) where it comes from 3) where it goes 4) how fast it is going 5) when did it enter our atmosphere 6) when did it leave our atmosphere? 7) size of object 8) color of object I have a hard time believing it is from outer space. If we can determine when any object is approaching earths atmosphere, how could this get by? We can’t even tell what the speed is? I’m sorry, we are way too far advanced to not have more answers. Seems like a cover up imo

The uptick in activity is because they know what we face in the near future.

Aliens on vacation. Surf's up, humans!

man thats a terrifying flying machine. it could be capable of anything

Two of my coworkers swear that they saw a metal orb floating in broad daylight they describe it as small though not large.

With all the high-definition cameras we have nowadays, this is the best we can do...

Now that the government is trying to imply there are aliens, i no longer believe in aliens

In 1995, I had a girlfriend who told me about a weird experience she had (when she was about 11 years old) in Boulder, Colorado in the very early 80s when it was a tiny town up against the mountain. Her mom had woken her up and taken her to the window where they stood staring at a classic ufo literally resting on the ground at the base of the mountain in the middle of town. It was silver with a row of lights rotating around the center. They stood there for several minutes(?) in a sort of trance and the mother eventually said “let’s go to bed” while the UFO was clearly still there. The next morning the mom asked if she remembered. She said yes and the mom said “let’s not talk about that again”. She drew me what she remembered the craft looked like. She hadn’t talked to her mom about the experience since it happened. I dropped the subject. When her mom visited, I sat her down and asked her to tell me what happened back in Boulder. She hesitated, but then said she was driving back home from a party way on the other side of town when she saw the UFO at the base of the mountain and she freaked out! She drove like a crazy person way out of the way to avoid the UFO, then she came up to her house and just remembers getting her daughter and the two standing there and the rest is identical. I had her draw the craft and it was identical to what the daughter had drawn for me. So what was the UFO (and any possible occupants) doing in the center of that small town in the middle of the night? One can only imagine.

LOL how ironic to come across this news report, i just see such similar things here in PR at about 4am (early in the morning still night outside) here in Puerto Rico just two days ago. Ive been getting to work extra early to take some time to pray, (going thru some marital issues) , and while on the terrace at my job looking up at the night sky, i see what i first think is an airplane at very high altitude but then i notice no blinking indication lights, so im thinking possible lower altitude satellite. BTW im well versed in aviation (civil air patrol) as a teen. But then the steady light traveling across the sky begins to sway in its path. similar to someone driving a car and swaying from side to side while traveling down the road. CLEARLY this was not normal behavior for any normal aircraft, not to say an aircraft couldn't do, but again, im talking high stratospheric altitude if not higher. no clouds in the sky either. more over the light began dwindling dark , not a switch on and off, but as if a car battery was dying and the headlight were bowing out. then the light when dark. keep in mind this is not the first time having seen such things here in PR. in fact dare i say Puerto Rico is chock full of weird phenomenon especially things of the 'spiritual' nature. and no im not bullshitting!!! not one bit!. Prior this sighting some years back it was similar. a light in the ski that at least in that case looked like a star. once again in on a balcony early in the morning, once again praying about my troubles, and this time in a clear starlit sky something about one of the stars seem to catch me eye. Then i notices the star stared moving. Now. to be clear when i say star, i mean a vastly distanced light in the beyond the scope of our earths atmosphere. very much could've been at the orbital range of higher altitude satellites. So. the light begins to move, and my mind is trying to kinds make sense of what im looking at as it unfolds. Your just kinda dumb struck but at the same time, figuring this is just some military or government surveillance satellite, some secret craft technology we don't know about. As the light moved it than quickly came down into our upper atmosphere, more over the thing that struck me was the fact of their being no sound, no sonic booms, and at that point my mind accepted the fact that what was seeing was indeed real. more to the point of its motion zooming into earths atmosphere was this sort of con trail or wake that preceded the craft NOT from behind it like a boat, but rather in front of it after it stopped, like the splash after waving ones hand across a body of water. then as i looked at it, i had this overwhelming feeling that it was looking at me. or at least in my vicinity. it say idle for a while as my mind try to digest all whats going on, then it slowly sped off in a direction behind the building of which i could no longer follow. OK.. so.. again. these things happened, we are seeing footage of them etc etc what do i believe they are. meh.. my best guess would be government fringe secret projects of surveillance. People are calling aliens. well i wont discredit that possibility but for now im sticking with good ol fashion black box projects. as for the technology, ironically im not wow'ed by it. in fact im more than shocked that people are. Consider the fact that the world has been toying with aviation for some time, and this aviation has been based on air pressure, wings, airfoil, thrust, the use of air to generate lift, well dont you think most governments and their research operations would've long moved past such basic technology. everything that these UAP's or UFO's are doing can be easily explained. The aerial performance of aircraft is limited by the air itself. but if you were to remove the air, what do you have? space! and what limits your motion and speed in space? nothing. so what if you can create space around a craft within earths atmosphere, if the constraints of the atmosphere does not have an effect on your craft? EXACTLY!! you have the ability to move about in ways uncommon to those seen with conventional aircraft. so.. last question. how could you remove air molecules from affecting the surface of your craft? when you have that answer then you have the makings of a UFO. and trust me when i say.. most things that bewilder our eyes, are almost never really complicated, a person in the ancient world seeing a biplane fly across the sky would likely be blown out of his or her mind, just as people today are dumbstruck by the sighting of ufo's, but the truth is , the technology is ridiculously simple. and the fact we are seeing so many of the UAPs around also suggests that the technology is in fact simple. the magician trick looks like some form of dark occult, because our brains cant put the pieces together, but when the trick is revealed then we feel like fools. These UAPS do have advance technology but im willing to bet its not as complicated as we may believe, why? because we've been seeing them for so long.

I'm always gonna call them UFOs, not UAPs.

Next step: contact. Just please don’t tell the aliens we thought we were the only sentient life in the universe.

I never thought it looked like the object dipping in the water. To me it always looked like it cloaked itself. You see it disappear, partly reappear and then its gone...

SR-71 Blackbird was flying 2,200 MPH in the mid 60's one has to assume there's some very advanced unmanned drones today.
