One Apollo 17 frame, from a podcast to Congress to the Pentagon

Max showed the Apollo 17 "trio of blue lights" on Reality Check. Per Max, Mike Gold then showed it to Reps. Burchett, Luna and Burlison at a congressional UAP briefing. In May 2026 war.gov released the same frame as NASA-UAP-VM006, saying it is "potentially the result of a physical object in the scene" and that the government now has the original film.

Gold also links two other threads. He sat on NASA's UAP study team, which was never tasked with NASA's own archive imagery. He works at Redwire, which built the cameras on Blue Ghost, whose unexplained lighting the camera team blamed on floodlights that NASA says were never switched on.
