Non publicly available that I am aware of, aside from what the Navy released years ago. From what I understand, a big reason for not releasing footage is sensor data that is embedded in the images/videos that if released, would significantly help non-friendly nations to better understand some of our military capabilities.

Every time they release actual footage (like the gofast/tictac videos from a few years ago), it is not very convincing, with plausible explanations (parallax, etc) for what we are seeing. We are often told that the good videos are still classified. Why is it that only the bad videos are the ones that are released? The shtick is wearing thin.

Uh, did you read my comment? The "good" videos aren't released because they contain sensitive national security information. Doesn't mean they don't exist. Remember the Russian jet that launched flares at a US drone a few months back, and the crystal clear footage that came from that? Footage like that exists for these UAPs too.

Well, after the current hearing those non-friendly nations will understand a lot more about the nation's intellectual capabilities and breathe a huge sigh of relief.
