2026.6.4(5.9) 米国防総省 UFO関連資料を公開 PENTAGON STARTS RELEASING FILES RELATED TO UFOs アメリカの国防総省がUFOに関する資料を公開し始める
The U.S. Department of Defense has released materials related to unidentified flying objects, or UFOs.
The files made public on Friday include a video purportedly filmed around Japan. The footage was reportedly taken by the department in January 2023. It shows three circular objects clustered together. The video was apparently taken from the air.
Another image from the Apollo 17 moon landing in 1972 shows three small dots that become visible when the photo is enlarged. The around 160 files contain data recorded by the U.S. military, the U.S. space agency NASA, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and other agencies since the 1940s.
The Defense Department has not offered any concrete assessments of what the files show. Trump offered the release of materials related to UFOs and extraterrestrials earlier this year, citing “tremendous” public interest.

S: This month's business scene takes place in LA. Growing up in Kentucky, what was California like in your mind?
H: Oh, well, I think like most people, I thought about Hollywood and movie stars. California is such a different kind of place than 👂where I grew up.
S: If you had to pick up one thing, what would you say is the biggest difference between Kentucky and California?
H: It’s actually hard to pick just one difference, but if I had to choose, I’d say that California has many globally important industries.
S: Hmm, that’s true. What about Kentucky?
H: Hmm… Kentucky doesn’t have as many big industries. But it’s got beautiful green nature and small towns. I think Kentucky is a place where you can live 👂a quiet, simple life👂.
S: Right. Different places offer different kinds of richness.
S：S：今月のビジネス・シーンはロサンゼルスが舞台です。ケンタッキーで育ったあなたにとって、カリフォルニアはどんな場所だったのでしょうか？
H：ええと、まあ、たいていの人と同じで、ハリウッドや映画スターのことを想像していましたね。カリフォルニアは、私が育った場所とはまったく違う場所です。
S: もし一つだけ挙げるとしたら、ケンタッキーとカリフォルニアの最大の違いは何だと思いますか？
H: 実は一つだけ選ぶのは難しいんですが、どうしても選ぶなら、カリフォルニアには世界的に重要な産業がたくさんあるということですね。
S: ふむ、確かにそうですね。ケンタッキーはどうですか？
H: うーん…ケンタッキーには、それほど大きな産業はありません。でも、美しい緑の自然や小さな町があります。ケンタッキーは、静かでシンプルな生活を送れる場所だと思います。
S: そうですね。場所が違えば、それぞれの豊かさがあるんですね。
