A look at the government's 'never-before-seen' UFO files 08.05.2026

USA Today

The Pentagon has released 162 declassified files concerning unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), also known as UFOs, on a new government website, war.gov/UFO. This initiative, directed by President Donald Trump, aims for "maximum transparency" and involves collaboration between the Pentagon and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, with contributions from agencies like the FBI, NASA, and the State Department. While some experts, like author Garrett Graff, note that the newly released documents largely align with previously disclosed information, indicating the government cannot explain all observed phenomena and has researched them extensively, they do not appear to contain definitive proof of extraterrestrial visits. The release has drawn criticism from some, such as Marjorie Taylor Greene, who view it as a distraction. The files include historical reports, such as a 1963 State Department memo discussing policy for discovering alien intelligence and a 1965 NASA document detailing a "UFO sighting" by Gemini 7 astronauts.
