◆ CASE FILEThe facts, corroborated
Apollo 17's triangle
A frame from Apollo 17, the last crewed flight to the Moon in December 1972, shows three points of light in a triangular arrangement in the lunar sky. In 2026 the Pentagon released the image with a note that it might be a physical object. This is the record of what was claimed about the frame, not a verdict on what is in it.
◆ THE SHORT VERSION
- Apollo 17's triangle is a reported UAP case in lunar orbit, December 1972.
- An Apollo 17 frame from December 1972 shows three dots in a triangular formation in the lunar sky, and the Pentagon's 2026 assessment called the feature 'potentially the result of a physical object in the scene'.
- The telling describes the object as a triangular blue craft and says blue lights seen from the lunar surface were described as craft; the public description of the dots does not call them blue.
- The Pentagon note said there was no consensus on the anomaly, and film emulsion flaws and light off a window remain live readings.
- The archive holds one telling, with the witnesses given only as NASA astronauts, and does not hold the Pentagon note itself.
- For this case Fractured Realities holds 1 distinct source and 1 claimant on its resolved list.
- The archive grades it L0 · SINGLE ACCOUNT — the archive holds one account of it, from a single source.
