Eric Burlison (R-Mo.), the U.S. intelligence officials may have to testify to their encounter with a strange display of orange orbs. The officials reportedly witnessed the orbs flying beside their helicopter during a mission near a West Coast military base in late 2025.According to the BBC, the Pentagon publicly announced that different shapes and lights in the sky had been spotted over the past 80 years. The UFO files described these things as glowing orbs, circular discs, and bright fireballs. One of the officials explained that he saw strange orange lights rising and fading while checking loud noises in the mountains at a test range where UFOs had been reported days earlier.The official said that the close encounters with the UAPs continued for more than an hour. The objects were extremely hot, flying low to the ground, and moving very fast. According to his description, the objects looked oval in shape, orange in color with white or yellow at the center, and radiating light in every direction.The official also reported that the group of objects seemed to merge and flare for several minutes, forming a clear triangle before disappearing. He added that he did not take photographs because he was concentrating on understanding what the objects were and whether they posed any danger.U.S. intelligence officials may have to testify about the UFO orb before Congress,The encounter was said to include countless smaller objects emerging from a large orb described as a mothership. Burlison said,"There are some people who are working for the agency, and having them come forward publicly may expose other things."He added,"And so that’s a good place to explore, and I’m happy to look into that to see if that’s a possibility."However, the UFO researcher and Harvard professor, Avi Loeb, told the New York Post that he had not seen any footage that was claimed to be recorded during the mission. The council had not yet spoken with the witnesses, though Avi expressed interest in interviewing them.The professor further said that the only issue for the witnesses would be avoiding disclosure of classified details connected to national security, which applies only to human-made technologies.Read more: Former astronaut Charlie Duke opened up about the demonic forces connected to the UFOs.Also read: Avi Loeb addressed online rumors over alien revelation within 16 days.Follow Soap Central for more updates on UFOs.
