US Government Releases New UAP Files Claiming Decades‑Old Non‑Human Technology
The United States has released a new tranche of previously classified documents on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), also known as UFOs. Former Pentagon intelligence officer Luis Elizondo said the files, some dating back to the 1940s, contain evidence of "non‑human" technology and show that the U.S. has treated the phenomenon as a national‑security issue for decades. He described the material as a "treasure trove" that demonstrates objects capable of out‑maneuvering current U.S. aircraft.
Former President Donald Trump directed federal agencies to declassify UAP data, and the FBI is now leading the investigation, according to documentary filmmaker Dan Farrar. Farrar warned that some agencies and military branches have been reluctant to cooperate, but the FBI’s involvement could bring further disclosures.
Other commentators have examined the released material. A Chinese researcher highlighted a 2020 infrared video showing a human‑shaped object allegedly accelerating beyond 600 g, far exceeding known aerospace capabilities. Analysts note the lack of accompanying technical data limits scientific evaluation.
The disclosures have sparked renewed public and congressional interest, with officials such as Secretary of State Marco Rubio questioning the security implications of UAPs observed over nuclear sites.
