Overview
- The Pentagon, which posted more than 160 declassified files Friday, centralized photos, videos, mission transcripts and FBI interviews on a public site.
- The materials span NASA’s Apollo-era transcripts and recent FBI reports, including a September 2023 interview with a drone pilot who described an intensely bright linear object.
- Defense captions state there is no consensus on the nature of several anomalies, though some items are tagged in preliminary analysis as an object.
- Reports in the cache describe sightings by U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria and by units in the United Arab Emirates and Greece over recent years.
- President Trump ordered the declassification in February, and the Pentagon says more tranches will follow every few weeks, aligning with prior AARO findings that report no proof of recovered alien technology.
