The Pentagon on Friday released what it says are “never-before-seen files” on UFOs after President Donald Trump directed the agency to do so earlier this year.

The batch of files outlines various investigations of reported sightings of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena that span decades.

“The American people can now access the federal government’s declassified UAP files instantly,” the department wrote on X, referring to unidentified anomalous phenomena, the modern term for UFOs. “The latest UAP videos, photos, and original source documents from across the entire United States government are all in one place – no clearance required.”

The Defense Department said it will be “releasing new materials on a rolling basis as they are discovered and declassified, with tranches posted every few weeks.”

1. Epstein file testimonials have been replaced with UFO sighting testimonials. Just the another shiny object like the taco

10. Yes, there's nothing he won't do

to keep the Epstein files out of the news cycle, though he could run out of distractions soon.

2. Probably no more than we can already see on the History Channel

I'm betting the really good stuff will not be seen.

3. History channel

I think you are right, they will still keep back any good stuff they have and shovel out a lot of relatively noncontroversial filler instead

4. So , proof of Republicans being illegal aliens from Uranus? It'd explain their talent at tonguing Trump's asshole.

5. I just watched a compilation of all the released videos on UFO's

This release leads one to accept that there is only one true meaning to this: Krasnov is the sort of Rapist that would walk in unannounced to a dressing room full of underage beauty contestants.

Oh and here is the compilation.
