UFO enthusiasts just got a big old bone to sink their teeth into. The Pentagon released its first tranche of declassified "UFO files" on Friday (May 8), responding to a directive that President Trump issued in February. The new release consists of 161 files, most of which are PDFs recounting investigative reports and eyewitness testimonials (including from a few Apollo astronauts, who saw some strange things near the moon). But there's also quite a bit of imagery, including nearly 30 videos, which feature a range of intriguing unidentified flying objects — or unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), as they were recently rebranded. Space.com combined all of those newly declassified videos into a supercut, which you can see above or via Space.com's YouTube channel. And the new footage is definitely worth a look. For example, one submission from U.S. Central Command features five seconds of imagery captured in Syria by a full-motion video (FMV) camera in October 2024. "An accompanying mission report, DoW-UAP-D32, described the UAP as consisting of a 'misshapen and uneven ball of white light,' and reported that a 'light/glare halo effect' occurred at the top of the FMV feed," Pentagon officials wrote in a description of the video. Another video, submitted by U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, features a nine-second observation gathered in 2024 by an infrared sensor aboard an unspecified U.S. military platform. "The sensor focuses on an area of contrast that resembles a football-shaped body with three radial projections: one oriented vertically, and two oriented downward at a 45-degree angle relative to the major axis of the main mass," Pentagon officials wrote in a description of the video. Another 2024 infrared video from the same command has a more artistic feel, and not just because it's considerably longer (100 seconds). It shows a small, bright dot cruising through an array of windmills, looking like a wanderer lost in a ghostly forest of monstrous mechanical trees. The Pentagon does not attempt to explain the UAP featured in these videos. Indeed, the accompanying text features the following disclaimer: "Readers should not interpret any part of this description as reflecting an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination regarding the described event’s validity, nature or significance." And, of course, "unidentified" does not necessarily mean "alien" where UAP are concerned. Experts stress that there are a variety of possible earthly explanations for such observations, from advanced drone technology to software bugs and instrument issues. Releasing the files will get more eyes on UAP footage, which military officials say is a good thing. "The materials archived here are unresolved cases, meaning the government is unable to make a definitive determination on the nature of the observed phenomena," the Pentagon wrote on the new UFO files website. "This can occur for a variety of reasons, including a lack of sufficient data, and the Department of War welcomes the application of private-sector analysis, information and expertise." And there will be more files coming soon, according to that page: "Given the scope of this task, the Department of War will be releasing new materials on a rolling basis as they are discovered and declassified, with tranches posted every few weeks."

Customer expectations and needs are on the rise, exacerbating the challenge for companies facing a higher volume of customer requests during the pandemic. The issue is acute in field service work, where employees have to work on equipment with varying technical specifications — often in confined, bandwidth-constrained, and hard-to-reach spaces. In a recent survey by The Service Council, over 90% of field workers said that more knowledge is required to service modern products while nearly 70% said that products are more complex today. Moreover, over 80% said that their current field service responsibilities require “greater technology knowledge” compared with when they first started their jobs. Against this backdrop, Xerox today announced that CareAR, a platform that combines Xerox’s content management system DocuShare and multichannel marketing service XMPie with augmented reality tools for field service workers, has raised $10 million. The funding — which came from ServiceNow — values CareAR at $700 million post-money, came from ServiceNow, and ServiceNow’s John Ball says it’ll be used to expand the company’s operations and support future product development. “Our customers have never more urgently needed workflows that deliver greater operational efficiencies, better customer and environmental outcomes, and improved safety,” Ball said in a press release. “Our investment reflects our belief that CareAR has the potential to deliver world-class, enterprise-grade augmented reality (AR). Customers using CareAR’s AR to route work through ServiceNow’s leading workflow platform can better solve problems remotely, speeding resolution times and reducing the need for expensive on-site visits … Together, we’re delivering powerful enterprise service experiences for the new world of work.” CareAR was founded in 2018 as an AR company focused on field service work. Xerox acquired it in January, and at the time said it planned to combine the “care experience amnagement” startup’s software with DocuShare and XMPie to form a new business unit. AR-powered customer service CareAR’s platform, which has over 10,000 customers including Allstate, Nordstrom, Staples, and Verizon, lets agents see what users see for real-time troubleshooting. Technicians get AI-powered AR visual assistance and guidance tools, while IT service staff gain a portal from where they can remotely resolve incidents. Companies can use CareAR to create AR-based instructions for self-guided and animated step-by-step flows. Moreover, they can tap the platform for insights into specific assets, issues, and resolutions. CareAR competes with TechSee, which also offers a platform that guides agents and customers through product setup and troubleshooting steps. Other rivals include Aquant and Neuron7, which leverage AI tools to automate field service across a number of different types of devices. Even tech giant Salesforce offers a competing product in Field Service Lightning, which orchestrates technician work with automated triaging and remediation tools. But Xerox believes that CareAR, which is sold directly by Xerox and via channel partners like Accenture, Deloitte, HCL and Tata, is differentiated by its integration with ServiceNow, which provides AR guidance for customers, employees, and field workers. Xerox vice chairman and CEO John Visentin estimates the service experience management total addressable market to be about $80 billion. “Xerox has positioned CareAR to deliver capabilities that service-intensive industries need, with real-time instruction, visual tools and access to data at the tip of any user’s fingertips, all driven by predictive artificial intelligence,” Visentin said. “By creating a platform that is intuitive to a digitally native workforce, and with investment from ServiceNow, we believe CareAR will define and grow the Service Experience Management category, disrupting industries at a time when it’s needed most.”
今年3月中旬去了婺源，昨日翻看相机照片时又被她的美惊艳到了，恍惚中竟觉得那是我在梦里去过的地方。从小在甘肃长大的我，对山的记忆依旧是黄土高原的千沟万壑，直到踏上婺源这片土地。 站在篁岭的梯田边，眼里是一望无际的金黄；浓雾把山与天连接在一起，仿佛那座山是通向天穹的阶梯，吸引着你想上前去探个究竟。 挂在山崖上的古村落“晒秋人家”满足了我对徽派建筑的一切向往，青瓦白墙被蒙蒙烟雨衬托得更精致、恢弘。墙根堆积的泥土和墨绿色的青苔见证了这些建筑的发展历程。 乡村被山体温柔地环抱，溪流穿过村庄不知去了何方。清晨的村落已飘满了屡屡青烟，跟不远处山上的雾融在一起，整个村子弥漫着一股烟火味。河边浣洗的村妇时不时抬头望向过往的游客，仿佛在提醒我们这不是梦，是真实存在的美好人间。 不少人曾在游记中抱怨婺源商业气息浓厚，商铺过多。但我认为，一个旅行者最该有的心态应该是随遇而安，计较太多，反而失去了心里最开始想要看到的东西。临走之前，我遇见了这栋房子，参差不齐的栅栏围着跃跃欲出的油菜花，现代建筑风格的小洋楼顶上是高高的马头墙，我多么想在这里停下来，一洗长期生活在大城市里积累的躁动，安安静静地住在这里。清晨，去那条河流里洗洗衣服；傍晚，生一堆柴火，煎一条鱼。
