Pentagon releases UFO files; China's Tianwen-2 reaches asteroid target

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The Pentagon has released a new batch of declassified UFO files, continuing its commitment to transparency regarding unidentified anomalous phenomena. These documents, which span decades and include firsthand accounts, illustrations, and videos, are being made public through a dedicated database. Concurrently, China's Tianwen-2 spacecraft has successfully reached its target asteroid, Kamo'oalewa (also known as 2016HO3), and has transmitted its first close-up image. The mission aims to collect a sample from the asteroid for return to Earth by late 2027, following similar successful sample return missions by the US and Japan. AI
