Pentagon releases first batch of previously secret files documenting reports of UFOs

Among the releases is a 1969 debrief of Buzz Aldrin stating he saw a ‘sizeable’ object close to the lunar surface

The Pentagon on Friday released an initial group of previously secret files documenting reports of UFOs – a move sought for decades by some.

“These files, hidden behind classifications, have long fueled justified speculation – and it’s time the American people see it for themselves,” Pete Hegseth, the defense secretary, said in a statement posted on X.
