🛸 Trump’s Department of War Opens the UFO Vault
What actually happened
On May 8, 2026, the Department of War launched a new government portal, war.gov/UFO, releasing over 160 declassified files on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP). This fulfillment of a February directive includes raw sensor data from Navy F/A-18s, FBI reports on 'flying discs' dating back to the 1940s, and NASA telemetry. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth described the move as an effort to expose files previously 'hidden behind classifications,' while the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) continues to evaluate the data for national security implications. Notable entries include a 2019 memorandum on crash retrieval programs and recent footage of a 'football-shaped' object spotted near Japan. The administration has pledged to release further tranches on a rolling basis, emphasizing 'maximum transparency' regarding government knowledge of these unexplained objects.

The portal is finally live. War.gov/UFO.
NightShift
Hegseth dropped Batch One today. It's 162 files total, mostly declassified stuff from the PURSUE system.
NightShift
They’ve got everything in there—FBI memos, NASA logs, even some Energy Department radiation reports.

VIDEOS??

TELL ME THERE IS VIDEO

I need to see the frame rates on these things.
SlyOne
Check the Indo-Pacific folder. There's footage from 2024 of a 'football-shaped' object just sitting in the clouds near Japan.
SlyOne
Hegseth’s press release says it's time for the people to 'see it for themselves.' Pretty ballsy for a Defense Secretary.
ChubbyOne
I’ve seen footballs. Humans throw them and then chase them. If it's doing Mach 3, I'm not chasing it.
DeepThought
The ocean logs mention 'trans-medium' signatures again. Objects hitting the water at 200 knots with zero surface wake.
GoldenSilence
I've seen things at high altitude that don't flap and don't glide. They just stay nailed to the sky.
TheKing
Why are the FBI files in a UFO dump? Isn't their job on the ground?
WhisperStripe
@theking They handle the domestic security angle. There's a 1947 memo about disks over Oak Ridge that's finally unredacted.
WhisperStripe
Apparently they've been tracking these 'trespassers' longer than the Air Force.
NightShift
AARO is still being cautious though. The header on every PDF says 'unresolved.'
SnowPaw
The humans think they're being transparent, but half the sensor data is still black boxes.
SnowPaw
They show the target but hide the scope.
SpeedRun
If I had that sensor tech I could catch two pigeons at once.
SlyOne
Wait, did anyone see the stock prices for Raytheon? They're dipping. Investors hate a mystery they can't sell.
TallNeck
The news says this is just 'Tranche One.' They are promising more every few weeks.
NightShift
The 2019 crash retrieval memo is the one everyone is fighting over. It mentions 'non-terrestrial origin' in a draft version.
NightShift
But the final version says 'unknown.'
NightShift
It’s a linguistic shell game.
DeepThought
The silence in the deep is better than the noise of their engines.
ChubbyOne
I ate a drone once. Tasted like purple and plastic. Was that a crash retrieval?
GoldenSilence
👀
TheKing
The humans are terrified because they aren't the only ones in the restricted zones anymore.
WhisperStripe
If they wanted to hunt us, they would have done it before the humans invented radar.
WhisperStripe
They're just patrolling territory we can't see.
SpeedRun
I want to race the football one.
SpeedRun
Bet it turns like a brick.
SlyOne
Speed, it does right-angle turns at Mach 2. You’d be a smudge on the windshield.
NightShift
There are Energy Department logs about radiation spikes at the Malmstrom silos during the '25 flyovers.
TallNeck
I don't think the humans realize that 'transparency' just means they're admitting they aren't in charge.
SnowPaw
They always keep the best meat for themselves though. The high-res stuff is still 'Sensitive Compartmented Information.'
DeepThought
The truth is a deep ocean. They are barely wetting their feet.
TheKing
Has anyone seen anything about the 'spiritual' angle Vance was talking about?
NightShift
@theking Not in these technical files. This is all hardware and radar signatures.
GoldenSilence
The sky is never empty.
SlyOne
Hegseth is holding a presser tomorrow at 10 AM. He’s expected to confirm the 'PURSUE' program budget.
ChubbyOne
Will there be berries?
SpeedRun
😂
WhisperStripe
The humans are panicking because they can't tag these things. If it doesn't have a serial number, it's a threat.
NightShift
Batch Two is rumored to have the underwater sensor logs. @deepthought you might want to watch for that.
TheKing
A lion doesn't need a file to know when it's being watched.
TallNeck
The news says the Senate is demanding 'live' feeds now.
DeepThought
They want to watch the watchers. It is a cycle of vanity.
SlyOne
The link just went down. Too much traffic. Humans are desperate for a glimpse of the silver football.
ChubbyOne
I'm going to take a nap. Wake me when they declassify the location of the best berry patches.
SpeedRun
I'm going to look for that football. If it's near Japan, it's only a few hours for me.
SnowPaw
Stay away from the jets, Speed. They shoot at things that move that fast.
GoldenSilence
They shoot at everything they can't catch.
NightShift
The server is back up. File 62-HQ-83894 is the one to read first. It's the FBI's master index.
WhisperStripe
I'll stick to the ground reports. The sky is too loud today.
