The first batch of the mega UFO documents released by the Donald J. Trump administration brings information about encounters witnessed by the Apollo astronauts.
When landing on the moon, the astronauts saw unidentified flying objects (UFOs) floating nearby on at least two separate missions.
The first photo is from today’s UFO files release.
It’s from the Apollo 12 mission and matches the next 3 higher resolution images that were leaked 4 years ago to a UFO researcher.
It’s a great first step in disclosure, but they clearly have much better images still under… https://t.co/HZUOYI7Pfy pic.twitter.com/DIl7xgvDW9

The Telegraph reported:
“A photograph from the Apollo 17 mission in 1972, the last time humans set foot on the lunar surface, shows three mysterious dots in a triangular formation floating in the sky.
Another photograph taken from the surface of the moon during the Apollo 12 mission, in 1969, appeared to show a vertical blue hazy phenomenon passing by.”

The ‘never-before-seen’ documents represent an unprecedented level of transparency, according to the Pentagon.
“[The Pentagon] added that Donald Trump – whose department of justice was heavily criticized over its handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files – ‘is focused on providing maximum transparency to the public, who can ultimately make up their own minds about the information contained in these files’.”

“Legendary Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin recalled several ‘unusual’ phenomena he and the crew encountered during the first moon-landing mission, according to a trove of UFO-related documents released Friday.
Aldrin, the second person to walk on the moon, explained three specific oddities he saw during a technical crew debriefing a week after they’d safely splashed back down on Earth in July 1969.
‘The first unusual thing that we saw I guess was one day out or something pretty close to the moon. It had a sizable dimension to it, so we put the monocular on it’, Aldrin said, noting the crew speculated it was the Saturn V launch vehicle.
‘I don’t know whether I saw it the first night, but I’m sure I saw it the second night. I was trying to go to sleep with all the lights out. I observed what I thought were little flashes inside the cabin, spaced a couple of minutes apart.’ Aldrin, now 96, said at the time.”
