Among the documents released is a 1969 report by Buzz Aldrin, in which the former NASA astronaut and second human on the Moon claims to have seen an object “of considerable size” near the lunar surface.
The US Department of Defense released this Friday “a huge amount” of never-before-seen UFO files that include images, government documents and correspondence, some of which were classified until now, notes.
The are static, unclear images that show what could be anything. In one of them, a cluster of dots appears on the screen. In another, there are some objects with strange shapes. The Department of Defense urged the public to “draw your own conclusions“.
Among the documents released is a Buzz Aldrin’s 1969 reportin which the former astronaut and second man on the Moon, who inspired the character “Buzz” in Toy Story, says he saw a “considerable size” object near the lunar surface, says .
According to , the files also include reports from astronauts aboard the Apollo 12 missionin 1969, and even reports from various police authorities.
This process appears to have been driven by the North American president. It is worth remembering that, in February, Donald Trump ordered the Pentagon to disclose about extraterrestrials and alien life, after having accused Barack Obama of revealing classified information, when the former president stated in a podcast that “aliens are real“.
In a post published this Friday, the US Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegsethstated that, while previous administrations sought to discredit or dissuade the American people, President Donald Trump “is committed to providing maximum transparency to the public, who will be able to form their own opinion about the information contained in these files”.
The initiative is also led by the White House, the director of national intelligence, the Department of Energy, NASA and the FBI. It is also known that these files will be released gradually.
“We will continue to be honest about what we know to be true, what we have yet to understand, and everything that remains to be discovered,” said NASA President, Jared Isaacman.
This is not the first major release of files carried out by the Trump administration. The president also said he would release information about other subjects that have long fascinated Americans, including the assassination of the president John F. Kennedy.
But the greater disclosure was not voluntary. Last December, the US Department of Justice began releasing files related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The Justice Department announced the release was complete in late January, the culmination of a months-long fight over the files that revealed major problems in the coalition MAGAa right-wing populist movement.
