Mysterious footage released in the Pentagon’s UFO files on Friday appeared to capture a bizarre “eight-pointed star” streaking across the sky several years back.
The infrared clip, submitted by US Central Command personnel, showed the strange-shaped object appearing to float around in 2013, according to the newly released files.
The footage, which lasts nearly two minutes, was apparently shot from “infrared sensor aboard a US military platform.”
“This video depicts an area of contrast resembling an eight-pointed star with arms of alternating length,” a description on the UFO files website reads.
A note on the site later warns that the video description is for informational purposes and that “readers should not interpret any part of this description as reflecting an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination.”
The footage was among the trove of 162 files made public when the Department of War unveiled its highly anticipated website dedicated solely to UFOs.
The Pentagon has been working on declassifying documents related to UFOs for years.
The Trump administration has insisted that additional documents will be added to the site on a rolling basis.
