There have been several new UFO reports since a whistleblower claimed to have given documents to Congress. Michael Herrera, a former Marine who served for four years, testified to the government’s UFO investigation team, AARO, and also spoke before a Senate committee in April.
Herrera, who was a 20-year-old rifleman sent on a Navy mission after the Sumatra earthquake and tsunami in 2009, has decided to share his story after remaining quiet for 14 years. He claims that he and five others witnessed a flying, octagonal-shaped saucer being loaded with weapons. They were then threatened at gunpoint by unmarked U.S. forces when they were discovered.
“I could see something moving and rotating. It was changing colors between a very light matte gray to a very dark matte black,” he said, the Daily Mail reported. “It stuck out like a sore thumb.”
“The thing was massive, the size of a football field. The craft was rotating in a clockwise motion while changing colors. It had an audible hum to it, like the sound of a transformer or a guitar amp. It was an octagonal shape with a pyramid at the top of it that was black,” Herrera said.
“It had scales that were on the outside of the craft that covered the whole craft. It had seams and sharp edges which I suspect to be man-made. Nothing on it was smooth. It had some panels on the vertical edges that were like Vantablack,” a super-black color that absorbs light.
According to the article, Herrera claimed that he and his group investigated the incident and he took pictures and videos using his camera. However, The Mail reported that the photos were not provided by him. Herrera did, however, share text messages about the incident with another witness who has chosen not to speak up due to fears for their safety.

There has been a recent increase in reports of UFOs, which are now referred to as unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs). This spike in reports occurred after David Charles Grusch claimed that he provided Congress with classified information on covert U.S. government programs and disclosed that they possessed an intact craft of “non-human origin.”
Grusch, who is 36 years old, is a former combat officer in Afghanistan and has received commendations for his service. He has worked for both the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and the National Reconnaissance Office. From 2019 to 2021, he represented the reconnaissance office in the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force. He later became the NGA’s co-lead for UAP analysis and continued to represent them in the task force until July 2022.
According to The Debrief, the UAP expert claimed that Congress was not given the information unlawfully and that he had filed a complaint stating that he had been subject to illegal retaliation due to his confidential disclosures.
“Grusch said the recoveries of partial fragments through and up to intact vehicles have been made for decades through the present day by the government, its allies, and defense contractors. Analysis has determined that the objects retrieved are ‘of exotic origin (non-human intelligence, whether extraterrestrial or unknown origin) based on the vehicle morphologies and material science testing and the possession of unique atomic arrangements and radiological signatures,’ he said,” The Debrief reported.
According to reports, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) attended a classified UAP briefing on a military base in Florida on February 21 and shared a small piece of information he learned. “I have seen evidence of craft that I am not familiar with any of our allies or adversaries or even our country possessing. I’ve seen that craft taken by air crews who have gotten quite close to it and we’ve got a lot more questions about why this information isn’t more broadly available to the American people,” Gaetz told Newsmax last week.
