Trump administration begins to release new UFO files to the public

'UFO files' released by War Department

The War Department released the first batch of 'UFO files' on Friday. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna said, "the American people deserve transparency, accountability and access to information regarding UAP's and disclosure that the govt. has kept hidden from the public for decades."

The Pentagon on Friday released some never-before-seen images and video of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) as part of a historical effort the Trump administration has vowed to declassify. 

The UFO files

Dozens of PDF, images, and video files are now accessible on the Department of Defense’s website. These include original source documents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), U.S. military and even imagery from NASA’s Apollo missions. 

The complete files are available on their website at war.gov/ufo. 

This archival photograph depicts the lunar surface as viewed from the landing site of Apollo 12. This image features a highlighted area of interest near the right edge of the frame, above the horizon, in which unidentified phenomena are visible.

What they're saying:

"The Department of War is in lockstep with President Trump to bring unprecedented transparency regarding our government’s understanding of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena," said Secretary Pete Hegseth. "These files, hidden behind classifications, have long fueled justified speculation — and it’s time the American people see it for themselves. This release of declassified documents demonstrates the Trump Administration’s earnest commitment to unprecedented transparency."

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman also released a statement reading, "I applaud President Trump’s whole-of-government effort to bring greater transparency to the American people on unidentified anomalous phenomena. At NASA, our job is to bring the brightest minds and most advanced scientific instruments to bear, follow the data, and share what we learn. We will remain candid about what we know to be true, what we have yet to understand, and all that remains to be discovered. Exploration and the pursuit of knowledge are core to NASA’s mission as we endeavor to unlock the secrets of the universe."
