This morning a trove of images showing
0:02
decades of unidentified objects is
0:04
sparking curiosity among starry-eyed
0:07
enthusiasts. The Pentagon releasing
0:09
photos, videos, and reports of some 400
0:12
unresolved UFO sightings from the past
0:15
80 years, including this infrared video
0:18
from 2013 taken somewhere in the Middle

0:20
East by the US military. It appears to
0:23
show a star-shaped object flying
0:25
erratically and leaving a trail behind.
0:28
And in this audio from 1965, astronaut
0:31
Frank Borman can be heard documenting an
0:34
unidentified object while aboard Gemini
0:36
7.
0:41
NASA transcripts from 4 years later are
0:43
also part of this release. Buzz Aldrin
0:46
telling the government he saw a possible

laser in space. And these images taken
0:51
from the Apollo 17 mission in 1972
0:55
show strange lights observed in space
0:57
from the moon. Every Apollo mission has
0:59
reported similar lights. There these
1:02
really cool snapshots of what it's like
1:04
to be an astronaut exploring new things
1:07
for the first time. And then to see
1:08
things that
1:09
they at first couldn't explain. The
1:11
Pentagon says this is the first of what
1:13
will be several declassified document
1:16
dumps about the unidentified object
1:18
sightings at the direction of President
1:20
Trump. The president now touts complete
1:22
and maximum transparency writing it's up
1:25
to the public to decide for themselves
1:27
what the hell is going on. These files
1:30
released by the Pentagon do not give any
1:32
solid evidence for life beyond Earth or
1:33
alien life in general. But that doesn't
1:35
mean we aren't continuing the
1:38
investigation and the search for life.
1:41
Now, while this this release gives a new
1:43
way for people to view these files, a
1:44
large portion of the incidents
1:45
themselves have been publicly available
1:48
and many were taken from military bases
1:50
which tend to have a higher level of
1:51
surveillance. So, with no certainty with
1:54
the search and the speculation
1:56
continues.
1:56
>> Okay, my
1:58
is piqued. Thank you very much. We
2:00
appreciate it.
