"The Department of War has announced that it's published "never-before-seen files" of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) on a new government webpage, and plans to add material on a "rolling basis." Some Pentagon UAP footage was declassified during President Donald Trump's first term, but this new page appears to be the results of a February Truth Social post from Trump calling on the DOW and related agencies "to begin the process of identifying and releasing Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs).""
"The webpage - war.gov/UFO - includes a carousel of images and files from the DOW, FBI, NASA and more, presented in a way that seems to intentionally lean into the conspiratorial nature of UFO fandom in general. You don't have to spend long clicking through images and downloading PDFs to realize that there's not much in the way of actual evidence of aliens, though. Whether or not the files are supposed to direct attention away from the other flailing projects of the second Trump administration - a disastrous war with Iran, for example - they're much more interesting as an example of how a bureaucracy processes and catalogs unexplained phenomena than as a smoking gun that proves extraterrestrials have visited Earth."
"Suspicion that the US government knows more about unidentified anomalous phenomena (the term that replaced unidentified aerial phenomena and UFOs) than it's letting on has been around for decades, but confirmation of formal research into the subject wasn't made official until the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) was revealed in 2017. AATIP was formed in 2007 to study UAP and later disbanded in 2012, but its work has been carried on by other government groups and task forces, most recently the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, an organization currently working inside the DOW that contributed to this new r"
The Department of War announced a new government webpage, war.gov/UFO, featuring never-before-seen files related to unidentified anomalous phenomena. The page plans to add material on a rolling basis and includes a carousel of images and documents from multiple agencies. The content is presented in a style that aligns with UFO fandom, but the available materials do not provide clear evidence of alien life. Earlier declassified Pentagon UAP footage existed from President Donald Trump’s first term, and the new page appears connected to a later call to identify and release government files about alien and extraterrestrial life and UAP. Formal acknowledgment of UAP research became official with AATIP in 2017, which operated from 2007 to 2012 and was later continued by other government groups, including the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office within the Department of War.
