AT A GLANCE

Classified automated tracking cameras at the Nellis Range Complex recorded an orb performing extraordinary maneuvers over the test range. The footage was leaked to television in 1994 and analysts confirmed it was genuine US military tracking camera footage. The Pentagon never officially commented.

DECLASSIFIED DETAILS

In the fall of 1994, footage from the Nellis Test Range Complex automated tracking camera network appeared on television — specifically on Current Affair and later CNN — showing an unidentified object performing remarkable maneuvers over the Nevada test range. The automated cameras, designed to track aircraft and missile tests, recorded a spherical object performing sharp angular course changes and hovering before making rapid accelerations. Range radar operators confirmed the object was being tracked by the automated system. Television analyst and former DoD official Steve Greer and others vouched for the footage's authenticity. Aviation journalist and researcher Glenn Campbell obtained sworn statements from range employees. The footage showed what appeared to be a structured object with an irregular shape making 90-degree turns and instant accelerations inconsistent with any known aircraft or drone. Despite media coverage, the Pentagon issued no official comment on the footage. The case became a significant early example of authenticated classified UAP video reaching public hands.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS
  • Automated military range camera footage
  • TV broadcast — first widely seen US military UAP video
  • Range radar tracking confirmation
  • DoD no comment policy example
  • Sworn range employee statements

Dugway Proving Ground UAP Activity 1988

Dugway Proving Ground, Utah

Anomalous aerial objects were tracked over Dugway Proving Ground during classified testing operations. Military radar tracked objects performing impossible maneuvers above the restricted airspace. Classified testing at Dugway was temporarily suspended pending investigation.

Gorman Dogfight — USAF F-51 Pilot, Fargo

Fargo, North Dakota, USA

USAF Lieutenant George Gorman pursued a fast-moving luminous orb for 27 minutes over Fargo in his F-51 Mustang. The object executed head-on passes, outran the F-51, and climbed vertically faster than the aircraft could follow. Independently confirmed by control tower operators and two CAA controllers. Project Sign investigated and listed it as one of the 'best unexplained' cases.

Sandia — Armed Forces Special Weapons Program Orb Encounters

Sandia Base, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA

Newly declassified Armed Forces Special Weapons Program records document 209 separate UAP sightings at Sandia Base, New Mexico — the nation's primary nuclear weapons facility — between 1948 and 1950. Witnesses, primarily military personnel, described orbs that performed high-speed maneuvers and, in several cases, appeared to explode. The proximity to classified nuclear infrastructure was assessed as a national security concern. The files are part of the May 2026 Pentagon archive release.
