The Pentagon has begun releasing UFO or UAP records on a new website, reigniting debate over unidentified “anomalous phenomena.” President Donald Trump has amplified the topic, framing the materials as something the public can interpret for itself. The trove includes decades-old State Department cables, FBI interviews, NASA transcripts and photos, plus more than 20 sensor videos from places including Syria, Japan, Iraq and North America. The Pentagon says many cases remain unresolved, with experts urging caution over misinterpretation.
The Trump administration, led by President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, has declassified around 170 UFO and unidentified aerial phenomena files. The trove includes alleged imagery tied to the Moon, transcripts describing mysterious sightings by Apollo crews, and 1940s reports of “flying discs.” Officials say the release is meant to bring long-speculated events into open public view.
