NASA-UAP-VM6, Apollo 17, 1972
DOW opened a PURSUE case on a December 1972 Apollo 17 NASA photograph showing three dots in a triangular formation in the lower right quadrant of the lunar sky.
Released May 8, 2026 by NASA under the Department of War's PURSUE review, this case file flags an Apollo 17 mission photograph from December 1972. The image contains three dots in a triangular formation in the lower right quadrant of the lunar sky, visible upon magnification. Preliminary US government analysis suggests the feature is potentially the result of a physical object in the scene. The government has obtained the original Apollo 17 film, and full NASA and DOW analysis will be released when completed.
