Buzz Aldrin observing a "fairly bright light source" while aboard the Apollo 11. A mysterious object making "multiple 90-degree turns" at a speedy clip. A blaringly bright object doing corkscrew twists over the skies in Kazakhstan.

Though the Pentagon has been working on declassifying the documents for years, Trump put attention back on the topic months ago by teasing a major UFO document dump.

Here are some of the images from the "never-before-seen" files released by the Pentagon.
