On May 8, 2026, the Trump administration opened a federal portal at war.gov/ufo and released more than 160 declassified UAP files — 20 videos, military reports, pilot accounts and Apollo-era transcripts dating back to 1944. A second tranche on May 22 added 222 documents, ~51 audio recordings and 40+ videos, including footage of four UFOs in formation near Iran. The program is officially named PURSUE: Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters.

For decades, the official line was that there was nothing to see. Then on May 8, 2026, the Department of Defense quietly launched a portal at war.gov/ufo and posted more than 160 declassified records on unidentified anomalous phenomena — the closest thing to an official UFO disclosure the U.S. has ever produced.
The effort has a formal name: the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters, or PURSUE. President Trump ordered the declassification in February 2026, and the rollout was fronted by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. The Pentagon framed the material as 'unresolved cases, meaning the government is unable to make a definitive determination on the nature of the observed phenomena.'
The May 8 tranche contained more than 160 files, with at least 100 carrying redactions. It included 20 videos, military incident reports, witness interviews, pilot accounts, government memos, photographs — and Apollo mission transcripts and imagery. The documented sightings stretched back to 1944 and 1945. Reports described metallic spheres, flying discs and glowing orbs logged by military pilots and U.S. personnel.
The government wasn't done. On May 22, 2026, a second release added 222 new documents, roughly 51 audio recordings and over 40 videos. The standout: footage described as four UFOs flying in formation near Iran in 2022.

Disclosure advocates called it historic but incomplete. Christopher Mellon warned that 'data alone is not disclosure' — raw files without context can confuse more than clarify. The acknowledgment is unprecedented. Whether it answers anything is a different question.
