Donald Trump has unveiled images connected to the Apollo missions that are related to “extraterrestrial life” as part of the highly anticipated UFO files release. The materials, now available on the Department of War’s website, feature numerous previously unseen videos, photos, and records associated with Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP). Notable content includes visuals and transcripts tied to NASA’s Apollo 12 and Apollo 17 moon missions, showcasing unexplained dots hovering above the moon and a transcript from the Apollo 17 mission where astronauts discuss unidentified objects near their spacecraft.
In a post on Truth Social following the disclosure, Trump mentioned that the content pertains to “alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs),” concluding with a patriotic “GOD BLESS AMERICA!” A US military operator reported a UAP sighting in the Middle East in 2022, capturing a fast-moving blur on screen.
Another account from a US citizen in October 2023 described seeing a UAP that appeared “metallic bronze in color.” This account, documented in an FBI interview, detailed a firsthand encounter at a US test site. Additionally, the files contain an interview between the FBI and a senior US intelligence official who recounted a UAP encounter at a US military facility, where a “super-hot” orb was observed hovering and moving swiftly for miles outpacing pursuit.
Reports from a US military operator in Greece in 2023 indicated observations of UAP flying above the ocean’s surface, maneuvering sharply at high speeds. Moreover, the release included an image from the US Department of War showing a UFO-like object linked to sightings in September 2023, described as an ellipsoid bronze metallic object appearing and disappearing rapidly.
Archival material from the Apollo 17 mission highlighted astronauts discussing mysterious objects near their spacecraft during flight. The imagery from the 1972 mission, the final crewed flight of NASA’s Apollo program, revealed lights above the lunar terrain. Furthermore, a report submitted in 2025 displayed a UAP image derived from a US military system, with the Pentagon noting the inability to positively identify the object.
The US Department of War emphasized the unprecedented transparency achieved by the release of these files under the Trump administration, providing the public access to declassified UAP records without the need for clearance. FBI Director Kash Patel and US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth expressed support for the disclosure, underscoring the commitment to transparency and national security in handling UAP-related information. The UFO files are now accessible on the US Department of War website, facilitating public exploration of the declassified government records on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena.
