Introduction

The White House and the military shared secret files about UFOs. They showed a video of a strange object in the sky.

Main Body

The video is from January 1, 2013. It shows a strange object with eight points over a military base. The military does not know what the object is. Some experts think the object is a rocket. They say the light in the video looks like a flare. But the government still calls the case 'unresolved'. Some politicians and religious leaders have different ideas. They think the object looks like angels from the Bible. Other people sent photos of small balls of light to the government.

Conclusion

The President wants the public to see this information. The military now puts these files on a website for everyone.
