The prospect of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe raises unsettling theological implications.

The Pentagon on Friday released online what it called “new, never-before-seen” files, dating back decades, related to unidentified flying objects.

The initial files are murky images that show what could be anything. The government said more would be released on a rolling basis.

President Trump had lashed out at former President Barack Obama earlier Thursday for telling a podcaster that aliens were real.
