Trump admin releases highly anticipated files documenting UFOs, 'extraterrestrial life'
Fox News ^ | Peter Doocy, Robert McGreevy

Posted on 05/08/2026 5:49:10 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

The Trump administration on Friday released a batch of "never-before-seen" files and videos on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon (UAP) as part of an effort to increase transparency on government knowledge of extraterrestrial phenomena.

"The latest UAP videos, photos, and original source documents from across the entire United States government are all in one place – no clearance required. While past administrations sought to discredit or dissuade the American people, President Trump is focused on providing maximum transparency to the public, who can ultimately make up their own minds about the information contained in these files," the White House said in a statement to Fox News.

The release is a function of President Donald Trump's Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE) program.

...

In February, after former President Barack Obama told a podcaster that aliens were real, Fox News senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy asked Trump directly about the existence of aliens.

"He gave classified information. He’s not supposed to be doing that," Trump said of Obama. "I don’t know if they’re real or not. I can tell you, he gave classified information. He’s not supposed to be doing that – he made a big mistake. He took it out of classified information."

Days later, Trump announced in a Truth Social post that he would be declassifying files related to the subject.

...

Numerous agency heads commented on the release, calling it an unprecedented step in transparency.

"The Department of War is in lockstep with President Trump to bring unprecedented transparency regarding our government’s understanding of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena," Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said.

I do. If it gives us new avenues of scientific pursuit that redounds to our benefit... That’s... kinda huge.

“The role of deception in the last days...”

This person must not be acquainted with Gen. 6:1 — “The sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful...”

Id hqve to see it again. It did look really small though, but maybe it was just distance making it appear that way. It looked to me though it was zig zzggin with sharp angles, bu5 i just saw it briefly.

It would be nice, but I don’t see the world changing for the better if we were to receive advanced materials or means of producing energy, all I see are governments and the wealthy abusing that technology.

I believed in aliens until the government started saying they were real.

Or... and here me out, entrepreneurs take the info and do cool new things with it to generate more wealth.

Using language like “the wealthy abusing” is something I’d expect more from a Left-leaning envy standpoint. Let’s not fall into that trap.

The WHCD shooting didn’t distract enough so here we go with another try.

What next?

There are no aliens visiting the earth, this is just another in a long line of distractions whipped up by the government.

My theory is that this is all a build up to the Spielberg movie coming out in early June. //sarcasm…kind of.

But seriously folks, some of the videos I’ve seen so far are pretty interesting.

I hate the trickle out crap. Just hold a press conference. Summarize the findings. Put up a link to the documents/videos, and free up anyone in the government that wants to talk about it.

This all seems like a TMZ production.

A LOT of redundancy in those reports. Many of the separate pictures seem to be of the same thing in one incident.

Perhaps someone on FR will take the weeks needed to go through all the reports, analysis, videos, etc., and report back on anything really interesting.

I waded through some of it. Lots of incident reports etc including Apollo. I was expecting to see something definitive on 1947 and Roswell but probably did not look hard enough.

You may have a point, if they happened to miss Sidney.

“Perhaps someone on FR will take the weeks needed to go through all the reports, analysis, videos, etc., and report back on anything really interesting.”

Good idea. Actually no one person has to go through it all. If anyone finds something of interest they can post it to this thread.

So far I have found nothing of significant interest. Here is one doc from 1947 that catalogs lots of sightings.
