Did the Pentagon Release UAP Footage of a “Humanoid” Like Sequoia 2015? What the Files Show

A viral UAP claim says the Pentagon released footage showing a “humanoid” figure identical to something seen over Sequoia National Park in 2015.

NoDechev found no official Pentagon, Department of War or AARO description supporting that framing. The claim appears to be a social-media comparison layered onto recently released UAP files, not an official finding.

What the Pentagon released

The recent UAP releases were posted through official government portals, including the Department of War UAP page and AARO’s official imagery archive.

Those releases include videos, photos and documents tied to unresolved or reviewed sightings. The official labels describe formations, objects, acceleration events, balloons, birds or unresolved cases. They do not describe a humanoid figure.

That matters because the viral version turns an ambiguous object into a specific biological-looking claim. The official files do not make that leap.

Where the Sequoia 2015 comparison comes from

The 2015 “Sequoia” reference appears to point to an older civilian UFO-community video described online as a white or glowing upright object in the sky.

That sighting has circulated for years in UFO forums. It was not a confirmed Pentagon case, and it was not presented by AARO as a baseline match for any new release.

Some social posts now place the old civilian footage next to a recent government clip and argue the shapes look similar. That is an interpretation, not verification.

What AARO says about UAP imagery

AARO’s public case archive is careful with language. Some cases remain unresolved, but unresolved does not mean extraterrestrial, biological, humanoid or identical to another sighting.

In multiple official entries, AARO has identified or assessed objects as balloons, birds or ordinary physical objects when enough data was available. When it cannot resolve a case, it usually says so without adding speculative identity claims.

What is confirmed and what is not

Confirmed: the Pentagon/Department of War has released UAP files and imagery; AARO maintains an official public imagery archive; social media users are comparing recent clips to an older 2015 “humanoid” sighting.

Not confirmed: that the Pentagon released footage of a humanoid figure; that the object is identical to a 2015 Sequoia sighting; or that the 2015 sighting was officially verified.

Best reading: this is a viral visual comparison, not an official UAP conclusion.

NoDechev rating: misleading. The UAP release is real, but the “humanoid identical to Sequoia 2015” claim is not supported by official Pentagon or AARO descriptions.
