U.S. UFO disclosure and declassification

Entities: U.S. Army · Federal Bureau of Investigation · UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) · war.gov/ufo portal (PURSUE) · Bagram Air Base

Overview

Since the May 8 2026 directive by former President Donald Trump, the U.S. government has issued a rolling series of declassifications on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP). The first tranche (162 files) was posted on war.gov/ufo on 13 July, followed by a May 15 batch that added historic Apollo‑era sightings and a New Year’s‑Eve 1999 FBI photo set. A second release on 22 May contributed 116 pages of mid‑century Green‑orb and disc reports, plus recent infrared clips from the Indo‑Pacific Command. On 30 May a large package of tens of millions of records introduced claims of “non‑human” technology, drone‑swarm encounters, and a 2025 infrared video of a six‑pointed thermal pattern. June saw three further batches: the 12 June tranche added dozens of documents, videos and audio, highlighting glowing orbs, a “potato‑shaped” object over Colorado, and a 2008 disc sighting in Harare. The same month, whistle‑blower David Grusch alleged secret billion‑dollar UAP programs and reported intimidation of witnesses; Neil deGrasse Tyson published a book on alien‑contact preparedness; and a viral AI‑generated image of Trump with a handcuffed alien spurred additional releases. A June 21 presidential statement linked the material to biblical prophecies, while a June 28 Brazil‑Air‑Force release added five local UAP cases. A 1952 Air‑Force briefing tape was located in May 2026, and a Disclosure Forum on 30 June gathered lawmakers and scientists to discuss security and scientific implications. July 10’s fourth tranche (40 files) revisited the 2015 Pantex nuclear‑plant incident and added new Indo‑Pacific footage. Subsequent releases on 11 July (2025 infrared video, 1996 Columbia shuttle photos) and 13 July (East‑China‑Sea videos) continued the effort. The fifth batch on 7 August contributed 41 files spanning 1950‑2026, including a 2025 Middle‑East infrared video, a 2021 Gulf‑of‑Oman encounter, and a 2002 silent triangular craft over Afghanistan.
