Overview
- The Pentagon’s new UAP website, which went live Friday, posts about 162 declassified files from the 1940s through 2024.
- The trove includes Apollo and Gemini transcripts and photos that describe bright particles and lights seen during lunar missions.
- Recent material features an FBI composite from a 2023 sighting, a 2024 Indo-Pacific infrared video of an orb, and a 2023 multi-officer report of “orbs launching orbs.”
- Defense officials say all cases remain unresolved and emphasize the files do not verify extraterrestrial craft, echoing a 2024 Pentagon review that found no recovered alien technology.
- The release is a coordinated effort by the White House, Defense Department, ODNI, NASA, Energy, and the FBI, with more documents promised on a rolling basis in the coming weeks.
