Pentagon Releases Infrared Footage of Eight-Pointed Object in UFO Archive

The Pentagon recently released infrared footage showing an airborne object resembling an eight-pointed star with arms of alternating length, captured by a U.S. military sensor in 2013. The Pentagon clarified that the description is informational and not an investigative conclusion. The footage is part of a growing archive of declassified UFO and UAP materials aimed at increasing public access, sparking public interest and speculation, including links to ancient biblical imagery, though officials caution against assuming extraterrestrial origins.
