Apollo 17 astronaut said mysterious fragments resembled ‘Fourth of July fireworks’ in newly unsealed Trump UFO files : Live updates

The Trump administration on Friday released its long-awaited UFO files, publishing hundreds of previously unseen videos, photographs and records tied to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP).

The documents were uploaded to the Department of War’s website months after President Donald Trump ordered Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to declassify government records related to UFOs and alleged extraterrestrial activity.

Among the most striking materials were images and transcripts linked to NASA’s Apollo 12 and Apollo 17 moon missions. One photo taken from the lunar surface appears to show three unexplained dots hovering in the dark sky above the moon.

An Apollo 17 mission transcript also detailed astronauts discussing mysterious objects drifting near the spacecraft during flight.

‘Now we’ve got a few very bright particles or fragments or something that go drifting by as we maneuver,’ one operator told mission control.

Another replied: ‘There’s a whole bunch of big ones on my window down there – just bright. It looks like the Fourth of July out of Ron’s window.’
