A cache of alleged classified UFO research has reportedly been found at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico after thedeathof a senior cybersecurity chief who worked at the top-secret nuclear facility. The files, which his son says were hidden among his personal belongings, are claimed to document decades of government-level study into unexplained aerial phenomena.

Los Alamos is best known as the birthplace of the atomic bomb, but it has long carried a parallel mythology. Since the 1940s, staff, locals and pilots have reported strange lights and so-called 'green fireballs' in the skies around the lab. The latest claims, reported by the Daily Mail and explored in a new documentary, lean heavily into that folklore, suggesting that far from dismissing such sightings, parts of the US defence establishment were quietly collating and analysing them.

The discovery is said to have been made by the official's son, identified only as Johnny, while he was clearing his late father's house. Buried in the ordinary detritus of a working life, he found folders labelled 'atmospheric anomalies.' They were not, he quickly concluded, weather briefings.

According to investigative filmmakerJeremy Corbell, who led a long-running inquiry into the material, the stash contains internal memos, scientific reports, photographs and sketches, all apparently focused on UFOs and related phenomena. Corbell, speaking to the Daily Mail, described it as 'a real scientific study at the classified level within our military of UFOs.'

The alleged Los Alamos UFO files, Corbell says, trace a paper trail through high-level government summits and specialist meetings, where 'anomalies' were discussed in the language of propulsion systems and physics rather than folklore. He argues they show that elements within the lab regarded the subject as a serious technical challenge, not a fringe curiosity.

'Los Alamos was always a place where there were elements of the study of the UFO phenomenon... these documents are 100 per cent proof that Los Alamos was taking it very seriously,' Corbell claimed.

If accurate, the haul would amount to a private archive of unexplained aerial encounters stretching across decades. Corbell says there are original Polaroids from UFO cases 'throughout history,' annotated and cross-referenced, alongside internal notes recording who met whom, when and under what security caveats, to discuss what the documents call 'anomalies.'

Some of the material is said to focus on incidents outside US airspace. The files reportedly include Russian intelligence reports cataloguing sightings over the Soviet Union, suggesting a Cold War-era mutual interest in what both sides could not immediately explain. Technical drawings and sketches depict classic saucer shapes, elongated cylinders and patterns resembling crop circles.

One document, titled Illustrations and Photos by the Gulf Breeze Witness, appears to centre on the notorious Gulf Breeze sightings in Florida between 1987 and 1991. Those reports, hotly debated at the time, described large, silent discs up to 120 feet wide, rimmed with red and green lights. The Los Alamos file, Corbell says, treats the case as data rather than tabloid fodder.
