The newest cases on war.gov are from this year. A government special agent filmed two slow-moving objects on a hand-held thermal imager at four in the afternoon. Another agent reported a 'thermally elevated aerial object' that night. Two other people described three separate sightings of multiple red lights within five hours, which the FBI turned into renderings.
