NASA-UAP-VM6 is a case file opened under the PURSUE Release 01 program concerning a NASA photograph taken during the Apollo 17 lunar mission in December 1972. The Department of War initiated a formal investigation into a previously public image showing three dots arranged in a triangular formation in the lower right quadrant of the lunar sky. The document is classified as an image record with an incident location of the Moon. No specific personnel are named in the available description, and no OCR text was recovered from the record.
The case is notable because preliminary U.S. government analysis assessed the image feature as potentially consistent with a physical object in the scene rather than a photographic artifact, though no conclusion has been reached. The photograph had previously circulated publicly without official resolution. The government has reportedly obtained the original Apollo 17 mission film for further examination, and full NASA and DOW analysis results are pending release. No portions of the record appear redacted in the available description, but the analytical findings themselves remain outstanding.
