DOCUMENT SUMMARY

An archival Apollo 17 photograph from December 1972 containing three dots in a triangular formation in the lower right quadrant of the lunar sky. Preliminary U.S. government analysis suggests the feature may represent a physical object. The original Apollo 17 film has been obtained by DoW for full analysis, results pending.

WHY IT MATTERS

This is the only PURSUE file currently under active additional investigation. The U.S. government has acknowledged obtaining the original Apollo 17 film and is conducting full analysis — making this one of the most consequential open UAP cases in the public record.
