The Pentagon released 162 UAP files on May 8, including NASA Apollo moon photos and 1965 astronaut audio. The files were posted at war.gov\/ufo<\/a> under the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters, or PURSUE, carrying out a directive from President Trump to declassify government records on unidentified anomalous phenomena.<\/p>\n Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said<\/a> in a statement: \u201cThese files, hidden behind classifications, have long fueled justified speculation \u2014 and it\u2019s time the American people see it for themselves.\u201d The release includes documents from the FBI, State Department, NASA, and the Department of Defense, spanning incidents from 1942 through 2025.<\/p>\n The highest-profile documents are NASA transcripts and photographs from the Apollo 12 and 17 moon missions. An Apollo 17 image shows three lights in a triangular formation above the lunar surface. New US government analysis suggests<\/a> the feature may represent a physical object, and the Pentagon has opened a formal investigation, obtaining the original Apollo 17 film for full analysis.<\/p>\n Audio from 1965 includes astronaut Frank Borman reporting a \u201cbogey at 10 o\u2019clock high\u201d from his Gemini VII capsule, and Apollo 17 Mission Commander Eugene Cernan describing a \u201cflashing\u201d object rotating in a rhythmic pattern several miles from his capsule. Both audio clips had circulated online for years. The original NASA transcripts appear to be new public releases.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The roughly 24 videos run 41 minutes total, showing infrared footage of objects making 90-degree turns at 80 mph over Greece in 2023, a football-shaped object near Japan, and semi-transparent shapes over Syria. Most show small white objects tracked by military cameras, with no explanatory conclusions drawn.<\/p>\nWhat the files contain<\/h2>\n
