Pentagon releases UFO files, including Buzz Aldrin's Apollo 11 sighting

The Pentagon has released a new batch of declassified files concerning unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), including details from Buzz Aldrin's 1969 Apollo 11 mission. These documents, made public by the Trump administration, contain reports of unusual aerial sightings, such as objects making sharp turns at high speeds and bright orbs hovering over terrain. While some files are newly declassified, others have been previously released, and experts caution that many UAP videos are often misinterpreted. AI
