"The Department of Defense began on Friday to comply with President Donald Trump’s order to release documents held by the U.S. government containing information on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP). This first declassification includes dozens of PDF documents and images but no sensational revelations about the existence of extraterrestrial life. Authorities have uploaded these files to a department website, war.gov/ufo, a URL that uses the classic designation UFO (Unidentified Flying Object), which has been superseded in recent years in the fields of defense and science due to the popular connotations of the acronym."
"Materials will be uploaded on a weekly basis, authorities have promised. Visitors to the website, designed with a retro-tech feel and white lettering on a black background, are greeted by a collection of photos, also in black and white. They are captioned with images such as Infrared still image (Black Hot) captured of unidentified object(s) over western United States in September of 2025 or Actual site photo with FBI rendered graphic overlay depicting corroborating eyewitness reports from September 2023."
"Overlaid on the image is a drawing of an apparent ellipsoid bronze metallic object materializing out of a bright light in the sky, 130-195 feet in length, and disappearing instantaneously. The first set contains images captured on film during the Apollo 7 (1969) and Apollo 17 (1972) space missions, photographs taken from the Moon on that last mission never before seen and the transcript of the communications between the pilots of that spacecraft."
"In this document, one of the crew members describes to the command center bright particles or fragments or something that go drifting by as we maneuver."
The Department of Defense began complying with a presidential order to release U.S. government documents containing information on unidentified aerial phenomena. The first release includes dozens of PDF documents and images posted to a department website. The materials are scheduled for weekly uploads. The website uses a retro-tech design and presents black-and-white photos with captions describing infrared still images and site photos with graphic overlays tied to eyewitness reports. Some images depict an ellipsoid bronze metallic object appearing from bright light and disappearing instantly. The initial set also includes film images from Apollo 7 and Apollo 17 missions, including photographs taken from the Moon that were previously unseen, along with transcripts of communications between spacecraft pilots.
