Robert Bigelow ran a classified Pentagon UFO program with Top Secret access.
Now the Pentagon released the most famous unexplained UFO footage in American history – and the timing is not a coincidence.
And Donald Trump was floored after a billionaire who ran the Pentagon’s secret UFO program briefed him in the Oval Office.
What a Navy Photographer Filmed Over Utah in 1952
On July 2, 1952, Navy Chief Warrant Officer Delbert Newhouse pulled over on a highway near Tremonton, Utah, and grabbed his 16mm camera.
He wasn't some amateur.
Newhouse was a professional Navy photographer – trained in visual observation, expert with equipment – and what he pointed his lens at was something the US government would spend the next 70 years failing to explain.
Ten to 14 bright metallic objects moving in a loose circle across a clear blue sky.

He described them as shaped like two saucers stacked on top of each other – gunmetal colored, completely silent, drifting west in formation.
Project Blue Book, the Air Force's official UFO investigation office, spent months on the film.
The Navy's own photo analysis lab burned through more than 1,000 hours studying it.
Neither could explain what Newhouse had captured.
The CIA convened a special panel – the Robertson Panel – which looked at the footage and concluded the objects were birds.
The same CIA then hired the Navy's lead photo analyst, Arthur Lundahl, to run their new photoanalysis division – where he went on to brief President Eisenhower and personally show Kennedy the Cuban missile crisis imagery.
The man whose UFO conclusion they rejected was apparently good enough to handle the most sensitive intelligence photos in American history.
Now the Pentagon just made that footage public for the first time – 74 years later.
The Billionaire Who Told Trump the Truth
Here's why the timing matters.
Robert Bigelow isn't a UFO hobbyist.
He's the billionaire the Defense Intelligence Agency contracted to run AAWSAP – the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program – a classified Pentagon research operation that ran from 2008 to 2012 and consumed tens of millions of dollars.

Bigelow's team held Top Secret/SCI-level access and was investigating phenomena the government wasn't prepared to study through official channels.
He has since stated publicly that he personally briefed Trump in the Oval Office – delivered seven reports and a formal roadmap for the US government to confirm the existence of non-human intelligence – and told the president directly that it's real.
Trump signed the executive order creating PURSUE in January.
The first files dropped in May.
Six waves have followed: footage from 1944 through the present, astronaut transcripts, nuclear facility intrusion records, and now the Tremonton film – the most studied unexplained UFO footage of the Cold War era.
Seventy Years of Burial Ended by One Signature
The government's playbook never changed: credible witness, unexplained phenomenon, official dismissal, quiet classification.
Newhouse filmed something a thousand analysts couldn't identify, the CIA called it birds, and the footage disappeared into the archives for seven decades.
The sixth wave of PURSUE files also includes fresh Middle East footage – military aircraft capturing a cluster of glowing orbs traveling in near-perfect horizontal formation past an oil rig before splitting into groups of three.
No identification.

No explanation.
Just footage the military filmed, classified, and is now releasing because the president told them to.
Whatever Newhouse filmed over Utah in 1952, the Air Force never explained it.
Whatever those orbs are over the Middle East today, nobody's explaining that either.
But at least now you get to see it.
