The Pentagon's next batch ofUFO files, due to be released in June 2026, is expected to include images of 'translucent' long-limbed beings and alleged alien abductions, according to American pastors who say they were briefed on the material at a private meeting in Tennessee.

The anticipation follows the US government's first major declassification of UFO files on 8 May, when more than 160 historic documents, videos and images were made public. That initial release included 82 files from the Department of War, 56 from the FBI, 12 from NASA and 8 from the State Department, along with 28 videos and 14 still images covering incidents from the early Cold War period through the Apollo missions.

It offered a dry, archival view of 'unidentified anomalous phenomena', glowing saucers in 1952, mysterious objects reported in the former Soviet Union in 1955, and visual anomalies recorded during NASA's lunar programme.

About what might be coming next, do not come from the Pentagon itself, but from Pastor Joseph Zupetz and evangelist Tony Merkel, who have been speaking to theDaily Mailabout what they say they were shown in February.

Both men describe being invited to an Airbnb in Tennessee, where, they say, intelligence insiders and former US military personnel now working onnon-human intelligence and reverse‑engineering of crafthad gathered. According to Zupetz, these hosts were not acting in any official government capacity, but were involved in private investigations into UAPs.

It was there, Zupetz says, that they were presented with images' of entities that were translucent, standing in a wooded environment, with long arms and legs'.

The pastors say the people in the room proposed that many of the strange objects seen over the decades might not be extraterrestrial visitors in the sci‑fi sense, but 'interdimensional beings.'

From that point, the discussion, as the pastors tell it, moved from the world of defence briefings into theology. Zupetz claims that a growing number of Christians now view these alleged entities as 'interdimensional evil spirits, fallen angels or demons,' not visitors from a distant star system. In his telling, they are not neutral curiosities, nor benevolent guides, but part of a darker spiritual picture.

'The great lie in this is that these interdimensional entities the actual UFOs and every kind of supposed alien are not benevolent,' he argued. The pastors believe the next wave of UFO files will be presented to the public in a way that undermines Christian teaching and fulfils biblical warnings of a 'Great Deception' in the end times.

None of these theological interpretations has been endorsed by US officials, and there is no independent confirmation that the specific images the pastors describe will appear in the June release.
