The U.S. Department of Defense has released the first batch of 162 new UFO files, but has found no evidence confirming the discovery of alien technology.

Odaily Planet Daily News The U.S. Department of Defense has begun releasing new UFO files, stating that the public can decide for themselves on information regarding "Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena" (UAP). The first batch of publicly released documents includes 162 files, such as old State Department telegrams, FBI documents, and records of NASA manned space missions. One of the documents details an FBI interview: a person identified as a drone pilot stated that in September 2023, they witnessed a "thread-like object" emitting light so bright that "even the streaks within the light were visible." The interview record states: "The object remained visible for approximately 5 to 10 seconds, after which the lights went out and the object disappeared.

Another document is a NASA photo from the Apollo 17 mission in 1972, showing three points of light arranged in a triangle. The Pentagon stated in the description: "There is currently no consensus on the nature of this anomaly," but a new preliminary analysis suggests it could be a "physical object."

The Pentagon has been advancing the declassification of UFO-related documents for years, and the U.S. Congress established a dedicated office in 2022 to handle the release of related materials. The office's first report, published in 2024, disclosed hundreds of new UAP incidents but found no evidence to suggest that the U.S. government has confirmed the discovery of extraterrestrial technology.
