Photograph shows five unexplained phenomena above the lunar horizon. Pete Conrad's filed report describes an object maintaining parallel course for approximately 40 minutes during lunar orbit.
Apollo 12 mission file AP12-S69-60528, included in the PURSUE release, shows five distinct luminous phenomena positioned above the lunar horizon in a loose formation. The phenomena do not correspond to any mission hardware, stars, or known artifacts. Astronaut Pete Conrad's formal report (declassified in this tranche) describes 'an unidentified object maintaining a parallel course to the spacecraft for approximately 40 minutes' during lunar orbit operations. NASA's 2026 assessment note states 'no consensus about the nature of the phenomena depicted.' Commander Conrad noted the object appeared to have a structured surface.
This incident is documented in file NASA-002 released under the PURSUE Initiative on May 8, 2026. The original document, with any remaining redactions, is publicly available at the U.S. Department of War's official UAP portal.
