Pentagon's AARO Publishes Second Batch of Declassified UAP Records, Expanding the Archive (1940s–2020s) with Apollo Imagery and Regional Pattern Maps (No Proof of Extraterrestrial Origin Yet)

To the point

The Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office released a second batch of declassified UAP records expanding the archive to more than 200 items from the 1940s to the 2020s (including Apollo 12 and Apollo 17 imagery), framed as transparency rather than disclosure since they do not prove alien origin, with a map showing three main clusters near military flight paths and California leading in NUFORC reports due to population and aerospace infrastructure, while no released material confirms non-human intelligence and further releases are expected.
