Overview
- The Defense Department on Friday launched a public portal with 162 declassified photos, videos and documents on unidentified anomalous phenomena.
- The first batch ranges from Apollo-era NASA transcripts to recent military sensor clips from places like the Mediterranean, the Gulf and the East China Sea.
- Officials say the cases remain unresolved and the files do not establish an extraterrestrial origin.
- The multi-agency effort, run under the PURSUE system, will add new releases every few weeks and invites private experts to analyze the data.
- Scientists and former investigators, including ex-AARO chief Sean Kirkpatrick, warn the records are unlikely to prove alien technology.
