This morning a trove of images showing
decades of unidentified objects is
sparking curiosity among starry-eyed
enthusiasts. The Pentagon releasing
photos, videos, and reports of some 400
unresolved UFO sightings from the past
80 years, including this infrared video
from 2013 taken somewhere in the Middle
East by the US military. It appears to
show a star-shaped object flying
erratically and leaving a trail behind.
And in this audio from 1965, astronaut
Frank Borman can be heard documenting an
unidentified object while aboard Gemini
7.
NASA transcripts from 4 years later are
also part of this release. Buzz Aldrin
telling the government he saw a possible
laser in space. And these images taken
from the Apollo 17 mission in 1972
show strange lights observed in space
from the moon. Every Apollo mission has
reported similar lights. There these
really cool snapshots of what it's like
to be an astronaut exploring new things
for the first time. And then to see
things that
they at first couldn't explain. The
Pentagon says this is the first of what
will be several declassified document
dumps about the unidentified object
sightings at the direction of President
Trump. The president now touts complete
and maximum transparency writing it's up
to the public to decide for themselves
what the hell is going on. These files
released by the Pentagon do not give any
solid evidence for life beyond Earth or
alien life in general. But that doesn't
mean we aren't continuing the
investigation and the search for life.
Now, while this this release gives a new
way for people to view these files, a
large portion of the incidents
themselves have been publicly available
and many were taken from military bases
which tend to have a higher level of
surveillance. So, with no certainty with
the search and the speculation
continues.
>> Okay, my
is piqued. Thank you very much. We
appreciate it.
