Pentagon Releases 2013 UFO Video as Part of Transparency Effort

The Pentagon has released a 2013 video showing a mysterious 'eight-pointed star' UFO as part of a larger disclosure of UFO-related government files. The infrared footage, recorded by US Central Command personnel, appears to show a glowing object with a star-like shape moving across the sky.

The video is one of 162 files released through the Pentagon's newly launched website dedicated to UFOs and unexplained aerial incidents, including videos, images, and witness accounts.

According to the Pentagon, the disclosures are in line with President Donald Trump's February order to increase transparency around 'alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs)'.

The release of the files has sparked fascination over UFOs, with Trump commenting that the public should be allowed to draw its own conclusions from the newly published records.

The Pentagon will continue to release more information in the future, with an administration official stating that 'even cooler information' would be disclosed in upcoming rounds.
