Department of War Releases Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Files in Historic Transparency Effort
War.Gov ^ | 02 08 2026 | Staff

Posted on 05/08/2026 6:31:26 AM PDT by yesthatjallen

Today, the Department of War announced the initial release of new, never-before-seen files on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) as part of the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE). This interagency effort includes The White House, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), the Department of Energy (DOE), the DOW's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and additional components of U.S. intelligence agencies. The collection will be housed on WAR.GOV/UFO and additional files will be released by the Department of War on a rolling basis.

This release follows the direction of President Donald J. Trump to begin the process of identifying and declassifying government files related to UAP in the interest of total transparency. No other President or administration in history has followed through on this level of UAP transparency.

The American people can now access the federal government's declassified UAP files instantly. 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 American people have asked for more transparency on these topics, and President Trump is delivering. While all of the files have been reviewed for security purposes, many of the materials have not yet been analyzed for resolution of any anomalies.

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

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard: "The American people have long sought transparency about the government's knowledge of unidentified anomalous phenomena. Under President Trump's leadership, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence is actively coordinating the Intelligence Community's declassification efforts with the Department of War to ensure a careful, comprehensive, and unprecedented review of our holdings to provide the American people with maximum transparency. Today's release is the first in what will be an ongoing joint declassification and release effort."

FBI Director Kash Patel: "The FBI is proud to stand alongside President Trump and our interagency partners in this landmark release of UAP records. For the first time in history, the American people have unfettered access to declassified government files on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon - a level of transparency that no prior administration has delivered. The FBI remains committed to supporting this rolling declassification effort with the same rigor and integrity we bring to every national security matter. As these files continue to be reviewed and released, the American people can be confident that their security remains our highest priority."

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman: "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."

yeah, it is distraction. The economy is falling apart. We have gas prices spiraling out of control, which is putting airlines out of business so it’s time to do the UFO nonsense again. And it’s funny because this stuff is coming out right when AI can make anything phony look real.

I saw the latest UAP file releases on the Department of War website this morning.

Just a little bit intriguing, but unfortunately mostly a nothingburger.

The question is... will this tranche of data be full of lies and AI-generated garbage, or will it reveal that pretty much all UFO activity was US military test vehicles?

I'm betting the latter.

Hey I’d love to cheerlead this sh&$. Good luck with that. I’m a realist.

it’s like a giant machine with pistons and cogs and Spinny things and levers pouring out smoke. When you disconnect the power, it continues to run for a while because it’s just so huge and there’s so much momentum. Kind of like the Titanic coming to a stop on the ocean floor it takes a while. Unfortunately once the machine gets shut down it’s really hard to get it started back up and it takes a while.

Once the straight of hormuz gets reopened. It’s still gonna take a long while for those ships to make a difference kind of like all the Covid restrictions were still hurting from that. Like I say, I would love to be happy about this stuff guys. Wouldn’t that be great?

“The economy is falling apart”. Sez who? Did you see the latest unemployment report? We added jobs in April despite the Iran war and so called high gas prices.

Where I live things are changing rapidly. Good for you if you live in Maine and you can watch the leaves turn. People are losing their houses, every day I see more homeless people out on the streets. People are riding bicycle instead of driving cars. Businesses are being shuttered. It is not pretty. Again, good for you if your parents plan ahead. I’m fairly young and things are not that great for my generation. and now, here comes AI

Things in the VT-NH-ME tristate area are pretty nice.

Every time I travel to the lower 45, I am shocked at how bad things are and how fast they are changing.

The deliberate targeting by the government of all this propaganda demonstrates only one thing—the deplorably low intelligence and awareness level of the general public as it pertains to already-published cosmological science, which absolutely destroys arguments defending visitation by advanced extraterrestrial civilizations.

The published scientific data is irrefutable, thanks in part to the material provided by advanced telescopic systems such as Hubble and the James Webb array regarding the nature of the visible universe. This data is easy to access for almost anyone, at any age.

Yet, it seems the populace is only too willing to be fooled, and there are any number of agonists prepared to assist it .

No I sound like someone who remembers when the country was in better shape. The national debt today is insane. The region where I live is Drowning, drowning in illegals. It’s basically a foreign country. I wish i could say things are getting better. Again, if you are sitting on your million dollar home equity with your 2% home loan— good for you. They don’t make those anymore. My generation sleeps on each others’ sofas.
