The Pentagon Releases New Trove of Declassified UFO Files
五角大楼发布一批新的解密不明飞行物（UFO）档案
The Pentagon released a batch of much-anticipated files about unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) on Friday, including newly declassified documents that have never been seen by the public before. 五角大楼周五发布了一批备受期待的关于“不明异常现象”（UAP）的档案，其中包括此前从未向公众公开过的最新解密文件。
The release of roughly 160 documents was rolled out on a new website. Among the trove is video footage and images of tantalizing UAP sightings captured around the world. The files also contain scanned historical material about government UAP and unidentified flying object (UFO) programs dating back to the 1940s and the Apollo program. 此次发布约160份文件，均通过一个新网站公布。这批档案中包含了在全球范围内捕捉到的令人好奇的UAP目击事件的视频和图像。档案还包含有关政府UAP和不明飞行物（UFO）计划的历史扫描资料，时间跨度可追溯至20世纪40年代及阿波罗计划时期。
While it will take days to comb through the finer details, initial highlights include sightings of “orbs launching orbs” by federal employees in the western US in 2023, a “misshapen and uneven ball of white light” reported by the US military in Syria in 2024, and a compendium of UAP reports from the public during the late 1940s, handwritten or produced by typewriter. The files contain accounts of UAP from the Apollo crews, including a light flash on the lunar surface during Apollo 17. 虽然需要几天时间才能梳理出更详细的内容，但初步亮点包括：2023年美国西部联邦雇员目击到的“球体发射球体”现象、2024年美军在叙利亚报告的“形状扭曲且不规则的白光球”，以及一份20世纪40年代末公众提交的UAP报告汇编（手写或打字机打印）。档案中还包含阿波罗号机组人员关于UAP的记录，其中包括阿波罗17号任务期间月球表面出现的闪光。
Some of the visuals include an amoeba-like shape captured by the US Indo-Pacific Command in 2024, a bright round shape filmed by the US Central Command in 2024, and unidentified lights in a picture taken by the Apollo 17 crew from the surface of the Moon. 部分视觉资料包括：2024年美国印太司令部捕捉到的变形虫状物体、2024年美国中央司令部拍摄到的明亮圆形物体，以及阿波罗17号机组人员从月球表面拍摄的照片中出现的不明光点。
The mysterious nature of UAP has fueled the popular belief that these sightings could be aliens visiting Earth. The US government has never claimed that it has detected or encountered extraterrestrial life in any of these disclosures, including in the newly released files. UAP的神秘性质助长了大众的一种普遍看法，即这些目击事件可能是外星人造访地球。美国政府在任何此类披露中（包括此次新发布的文件）从未声称其探测到或接触过外星生命。
In a statement, the Pentagon said that President Donald Trump “is focused on providing maximum transparency to the public, who can ultimately make up their own minds about the information contained in these files.” 五角大楼在一份声明中表示，唐纳德·特朗普总统“致力于向公众提供最大程度的透明度，让公众最终能够自行判断这些文件中包含的信息。”
“These files, hidden behind classifications, have long fueled justified speculation—and it’s time the American people see it for themselves,” said Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in the same statement. 国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯（Pete Hegseth）在同一份声明中表示：“这些隐藏在保密级别背后的文件长期以来引发了合理的猜测——现在是时候让美国人民亲自看看它们了。”
Trump first teased the release in February in a Truth Social post. The Pentagon coordinated the release in partnership with the White House, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, the Energy Department, NASA, and the FBI. Many of the files in this new drop contain documents that are already publicly available. However, some versions of these known documents in the new files contain more pages, or fewer redactions, than previously released versions. 特朗普于今年2月在“真实社交”（Truth Social）平台上首次预告了此次发布。五角大楼与白宫、国家情报总监图尔西·加巴德（Tulsi Gabbard）、能源部、美国国家航空航天局（NASA）及联邦调查局（FBI）合作协调了此次发布。此次发布的文件中，许多内容此前已公开。然而，其中一些已知文件的版本比之前发布的版本页数更多，或涂黑（删减）内容更少。
More than 60 percent of Americans believe that the government is concealing information about UAP, according to YouGov, while 40 percent think UAP are likely alien in origin, according to Gallup. Congress has held hearings into whether there’s been a decades-long program to recover “non-human” technologies, yet evidence remains elusive. 根据YouGov的调查，超过60%的美国人认为政府在隐瞒有关UAP的信息；而根据盖洛普的调查，40%的人认为UAP很可能起源于外星。国会曾就是否存在长达数十年的“非人类”技术回收计划举行过听证会，但证据仍然难以捉摸。
“If it’s just more blobby photos or redacted documents that don’t have any details in them, it’s more of the same,” Adam Frank, an astrophysicist at the University of Rochester who studies the search for alien life, says of the new files. “What we need are actual scientific results from the investigations that should have been done if the most extraordinary claims being made are true.” 罗切斯特大学研究外星生命搜寻的天体物理学家亚当·弗兰克（Adam Frank）在谈到这些新文件时表示：“如果这只是更多的模糊照片或没有任何细节的删减文件，那不过是老调重弹。我们需要的是调查得出的实际科学结果，如果那些最非凡的说法是真的，这些调查本应早就完成。”
The document drop follows a week of high-profile discussions of aliens, including Stephen Colbert’s interview with former President Barack Obama, released on Wednesday. Obama cast doubt on government cover-ups about aliens by joking that “some guy guarding the installation would have taken a selfie with the alien and sent it to his girlfriend.” 此次文件发布之前，关于外星人的高调讨论持续了一周，其中包括周三发布的斯蒂芬·科尔伯特（Stephen Colbert）对前总统巴拉克·奥巴马（Barack Obama）的采访。奥巴马通过开玩笑的方式对政府掩盖外星人真相的说法表示怀疑，他说：“守卫设施的某个人早就和外星人自拍并发送给女朋友了。”
Members of the Artemis II crew also second-guessed the idea of a vast government-wide conspiracy to hide the discovery of extraterrestrial life in a discussion with The Daily this week. 本周，阿耳忒弥斯2号（Artemis II）机组人员在与《The Daily》的讨论中，也对政府层面存在大规模阴谋以隐瞒外星生命发现的说法表示怀疑。
“Do you realize that if we found alien life out there, and we came back and reported on it, NASA would never have a budget issue for the rest of eternity?” said Reid Weisman, the commander of Artemis II. “So trust me.” “你意识到吗？如果我们真的在外面发现了外星生命，并回来报告了这件事，NASA将永远不会再有预算问题了，”阿耳忒弥斯2号指挥官里德·怀斯曼（Reid Weisman）说，“所以相信我。”
Victor Glover, the astronaut who piloted the mission, added: “Why would we hide that from you?” 执行该任务的宇航员维克多·格洛弗（Victor Glover）补充道：“我们为什么要向你们隐瞒这一点呢？”
