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 an “infrared sensor aboard a US military platform.”
