Earlier this year, President Trump directed agencies to begin the process of identifying and releasing files related to alien and extraterrestrial life.

The tranche of never-before-seen documents released by the Pentagon on UFOs includes descriptions of reported sightings - by civilians on Earth and by astronauts on the Moon.

The documents, uploaded to the Department of War's website, include hundreds of previously unseen videos, pictures and records connected to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP).
