Government Releases UFO Files Containing Photos of "Anomalies" During Apollo 12 and 17

"In one Apollo 12 photograph taken by a NASA astronaut on the lunar surface, a strange light can be seen hovering above the horizon in space. Zoomed in, the UFO actually appears to comprise three distinct lights. What this means, of course, is inconclusive. Another image from the 1969 mission shows a blurry smear above the Moon's horizon. And another taken from the landing site shows two pairs of barely visible, luminous specks."

"There was also a photo from Apollo 17, which launched in 1972. In the image, which had previously been released, three dots in a triangular formation can be seen in the sky, also close to the horizon. A caption from the DoD states "there is no consensus on the nature of the anomaly," but that a "new preliminary US government analysis suggests the image feature is potentially the result of a physical object in the scene.""

"These lights were spotted by the astronauts at the time, who described the phenomena as "streaks" or "flashes" on the Moon, so they're not simply camera artifacts. The batch also contained a previously unreleased audio recording and full transcript of the famous "bogey" sighting made by two NASA astronauts on the Gemini VII mission in 1965."

""A bogey at ten o'clock high," said pilot Jim Lovell. "This is an actual sighting," he added, insisting it wasn't their spacecraft's booster rocket. While fascinating, most of these sightings have been known for decades, so the dedicated Fox Mulders out there may come away unimpressed. This is the first time that some documents and photos related to them have been officially declassified, however, and there will be more to come in the weeks to follo"

The Department of Defense released its first batch of declassified UAP-related files. The materials include Apollo mission photographs showing anomalous lights near the Moon’s horizon, including images with three distinct lights, blurry smears, and faint luminous specks. An Apollo 17 image shows three dots in a triangular formation, and the DoD caption states there is no consensus on the anomaly’s nature while preliminary analysis suggests it could be a physical object. Astronaut reports at the time described the phenomena as streaks or flashes rather than camera artifacts. The release also includes previously unreleased audio and a full transcript from the Gemini VII “bogey” sighting, where astronauts reported a sighting not attributable to their booster rocket.
