The U.S. Department of War has declassified and released a huge collection of documents, videos and reports about UFOs (now called UAP). This includes decades of material from the FBI, NASA and military sources, described as a “historic transparency effort” to give the public direct access to formerly secret information.
The files include reports from Apollo moon missions. Buzz Aldrin (Apollo 11) saw flashes in the cabin and a bright light he thought might be a laser. Astronauts on Apollo 12 and 17 also described mysterious lights, with one saying it looked “like the Fourth of July.”
While some incidents were debunked (like a 1948 sighting later explained as a rocket-assisted jet), many others have no clear conclusion. For example, a 1965 Gemini 7 astronaut reported seeing “hundreds of little particles” outside the spacecraft, but officials offered no explanation.
The collection includes reports from 2020 to the present. One redacted 2023 report describes a drone operator seeing a metallic, wingless object with a super bright light that vanished in seconds. Some details were blacked out to protect witness identities and sensitive military locations.
The release is part of a larger interagency effort called PURSUE, ordered by President Donald Trump. While officials promise more files soon, they admit most materials have not been fully analyzed. No official government interpretation of the UAP phenomenon was provided, leaving the public to draw their own conclusions.
In what officials are calling a landmark step toward government openness, the U.S. Department of War (DOW) has declassified and released a massive trove of documents related to unidentified flying objects (UFOs), now officially referred to as unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). The release, published on a dedicated page on the website of the DOW, contains hundreds of documents, videos, intelligence reports and witness accounts spanning decades.
