What did NASA astronauts capture above the Moon, and why is the Pentagon reexamining a photograph from the Apollo 17 mission more than half a century later?
In this episode, we examine official documents, astronaut interviews, and unexplained lights reported during the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo missions.
In May 2026, the Pentagon released an enlarged image from Apollo 17 showing three bright points arranged in a triangular formation. A preliminary analysis suggests that the anomaly could represent a physical object, while the original photographic film has been sent for further examination by NASA and the U.S. government.
But this is far from the only mystery hidden in the lunar archives.
Buzz Aldrin described an object that appeared to accompany Apollo 11 on its way to the Moon. John Glenn witnessed a swarm of strange “fireflies” surrounding his spacecraft. Frank Borman reported an unidentified object during Gemini 7, while Apollo astronauts experienced flashes of light even with their eyes closed.
We examine both the unexplained cases and the strongest scientific and skeptical explanations: debris from the Saturn V rocket, ice particles, defects in photographic film, cosmic rays, meteoroid impacts, and so-called transient lunar phenomena.
You’ll also discover:
– what the Apollo 11 crew may have seen in deep space;
– why astronauts saw flashes of light with their eyes closed;
– what photographs from Apollo 12 and Apollo 17 appear to show;
– why the original telemetry tapes from the Moon landing were erased;
– where the theory that the Moon is hollow or artificial came from;
– which mysterious lunar lights remain genuine scientific puzzles;
– and where the facts end and speculation about UFOs on the Moon begins.
This is Episode 4 of the documentary series **“The Alien Files: What Is America Hiding?”**, in which we investigate declassified U.S. documents concerning UFOs, UAPs, and unidentified anomalous phenomena.
