Newsweek: The Pentagon's Latest UFO File Dump

From Newsweek: "UFO Files: 5 Key Revelations as Pentagon Drops Third Batch of Records." The article notes that "[t]he latest release contains 53 documents and 10 digital renderings from several agencies, including the CIA, FBI, NASA and the Pentagon, along with six videos and three NASA audio recordings," including "documents and sketches from nearly two decades ago, such as a July 2008 report on a UFO sighting at Harare International Airport in Zimbabwe, as well as more recent cases, such as the orb sightings in the Northeast." There is also a  January 31, 1949, letter to J. Edger Hoover from Reverend Charles Barnes reporting a strange sighting over the Cascade Mountains:

 "Last May, one afternoon I saw four beams in the sky passing from the northwest to the southeast and converging in the Cascade mountains. In those four narrow beams small clouds were forming. And where the beams met apparently against the mountains a great explosion effect was to be seen. I would say that they were visible for at least 10 minutes or longer." He later added that the "explosion effect seemed to rise to a height of about ten thousand feet."   

    Most of the accounts are of bright balls or blobs, which again seem to suggest some type of plasmoid or sprite. The 2008 UAP sighting at the Harare International Airport in Zimbabwe seems a bit more interesting:

    The report states that a UAP was "hovering" at high altitude over the airport and observed, "possibly by both radar and optical means." It notes that at one point during observations, "'beams' were observed emanating from the object."

    The object was described as "disc-like" with a hollow center, accompanied by a "series of rotating lights on the underside of the airframe."
