More mysterious images just revealed. 
160 government files detailing 400 alleged UFO encounters, including this infrared military video from 2013 of what appears to be an eight-pointed star streaking across the sky. 
Mysterious white and black aerial blips that defy the laws of physics. 
More grainy still images of the unexplained. 
And this image taken from the moon by the Apollo 17 astronauts of what appears to be lights hovering overhead. 
The astronauts later suggested it could have been ice crystals. 
Today, President Trump posted with these new documents and videos. 
The people can decide for themselves, but there are no reports of aliens or spacecraft in government custody. 
Many leading astrophysicists remain skeptical. 
Just because you see something and you don't know what it is, you can't then say it must be aliens visiting from outer space. 
The documents date back to the 1940s, including an FBI report from an Air Force colonel reporting a flying disc. 
More recent reports from fighter pilots, this diagram from people who claimed they witnessed a cigar-shaped object, and a 2023 video of three concentric circles flying in unison. 
I have not seen anything to suggest that we've been visited uh by any intelligent life forms out there. 
But the universe is massive. 
At least two trillion galaxies and trillions more planets. 
Given the vastness of the universe, it's really hard to imagine that life and even intelligent life hasn't formed somewhere. 
It's hard to imagine that anybody is visiting us or continually visiting.
