FEDERAL officials have quietly released a series of stunning UFO videos to the public.
US Customs and Border Protection published the ten videos without a press release or any other context on August 9.

The clips went unnoticed until UFO enthusiasts found them last week.
The footage was released along with a nearly 400-page document about the sightings, but much of the information has been redacted.
One of the most stunning videos was captured in 2013 in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, about 80 miles west of San Juan.
In the footage, a small, fast-moving device can be seen flying near the town's airport and over the Atlantic Ocean.

Then the craft appears to fly into the water without losing and velocity.
That's a feat even the most cutting-edge modern aircrafts can't replicate.
The Chinese have created an aircraft that can do something similar, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence Chris Mellon said in an interview with NBC News.
"(They) recently demonstrated a drone that could go underwater and go back into the air," he said.

But Mellon added that this device still lost speed while making that transition.
"I'm not suggesting this is necessarily a Chinese drone," he said.
A floating orb could be seen following a fighter jet in another clip.
In a different video, a similar orb could be seen floating above a parked semi-truck.
"I don't know why it's coming at this time," Mellon said.
But he commended CBP and said the footage will be a boon to the American people.
Mellon claimed military employees encounter UFOs between 50 and 100 times every month.
"This will help the public understand what our military personnel encounter all over the world," he said.
People in the comments below a YouTube video discussing the footage were also excited about the release.
"Wouldn't surprise me (that) agents would encounter this type of phenom in their duty travels," they said.
"Intriguing as hell."
Mellon hopes more government agencies will follow the CBP's lead and release any UFO footage they may have.
"I hope the Defense Department and intelligence community are paying attention," he said.

"These videos were released. People are not freaking out. They're not overreacting. It's helping to educate the public."
