Pentagon Shares Secret UFO Files
On Friday, the U.S. Department of Defense made many UFO files public. UFOs are objects people see in the sky. President Donald Trump told the government to share these files. The files are on a website. More files will come soon.
The files are from many years. Astronauts on the Moon saw strange lights. One astronaut thought he saw a laser. A 1948 report said people in Europe saw strange objects. New files show egg-shaped metal objects from 2023. Army videos also show objects in the Middle East.
People have different views. Some say the release is a good start. Others think the government is still hiding the truth. One UFO expert says the public is not ready. The Pentagon has not said when all files will be public.
