It\u2019s a real space oddity.<\/p>\n

Former Pentagon UFO investigator Luis Elizondo claims the US government possesses unreleased photographs showing what appear to be giant monolith-like structures on the moon \u2014 and the images may go public soon.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s also photographs that I don\u2019t believe have been made public yet that show on the lunar surface what appear to be large monolithic structures with right angle cuts,\u201d Elizondo said on Disclosure Tonight with Thomas Fessler on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The alleged structures evoke the mysterious lunar monoliths featured in Stanley Kubrick\u2019s 1968 sci-fi classic \u201c2001: A Space Odyssey,\u201d where the towering rectangular objects have the power to engineer humanity\u2019s evolution.<\/p>\n

Elizondo, who headed the Pentagon\u2019s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, claimed that photographs of the monoliths were likely to be released soon \u2014 and called the images \u201cintriguing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Trump administration has released previously classified \u201cUFO files,\u201d which have revealed numerous images of unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAPs, dating back 80 years.<\/p>\n

The files have not contained proof of alien life, but have included images of well-documented moving orbs along with more purportedly disturbing phenomena.<\/p>\n

A haunting image of a mysterious six-pointed object taken in East Asia was released in the last batch of files unsealed Friday. <\/p>\n

The former Pentagon official has made other explosive claims about US knowledge of extraterrestrial phenomena \u2014 including that the feds picked up the famous space ship that allegedly crashed in Roswell in 1947.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe United States has been involved in the recovery of objects, vehicles of unknown origin that are neither from our country or any other foreign country that we\u2019re aware of,\u201d Elizondo told\u00a0NewsNation in 2024.<\/p>\n

Other UFO files have claimed that China and Russia have collected downed UAPs and attempted to reverse-engineer them.<\/p>\n

A NASA spokesperson told The Post the agency has mapped and captured images of the entirety of the moon\u2019s surface and is unaware of any monoliths in their data. <\/p>\n
