President Donald Trump's administration on Friday opened a new government
UFO portal, releasing declassified records, videos, photos and documents tied to unexplained aerial encounters as part of what officials called a historic transparency push.
The new database, hosted at WAR.GOV/UFO, includes material tied to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs) through an inter-agency effort called the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters, or PURSUE.
"President Trump directed the Department of War to identify and release government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena, and unidentified flying objects because he is the most transparent president in history," White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said in a statement to Military.com Friday morning.
The move expands public access to UFO-related records after years of congressional scrutiny, Pentagon investigations and claims from military and intelligence officials that some aerial encounters remain unexplained.
Military.com reached out for comment to the Department of Defense, ODNI, NASA, the FBI, the Senate Armed Services Committee and House Oversight Committee.
UFO File Dump Praised
Trump first directed agencies in February to begin identifying and releasing government files tied to UFOs, UAPs and extraterrestrial-related material, saying there was "tremendous interest" in the subject.
The release marks a major escalation in the federal government's handling
of UAP-related information after years of mounting pressure from lawmakers, military personnel and former intelligence officials demanding broader disclosure surrounding unexplained aerial encounters.
Congressional hearings in recent years featured testimony from former military and intelligence officials alleging the government withheld information tied to unexplained incidents observed by U.S. pilots and defense personnel, helping push the issue further into the national security mainstream.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said the release reflects what the administration describes as an unprecedented push for transparency surrounding unexplained aerial incidents that have fueled years of public speculation, congressional scrutiny and military concern.
"These files, hidden behind classifications, have long fueled justified speculationÄand it's time the American people see it for themselves,"
Hegseth said in a statement released by DOD.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said the intelligence community is coordinating a "comprehensive" declassification effort
across multiple agencies, while FBI Director Kash Patel said the bureau was supporting the review process "with the same rigor and integrity we bring
to every national security matter."
The administration said the effort involves the Department of Defense, ODNI, NASA, the FBI, the Department of Energy, AARO and other intelligence agenciesÄa broad government-wide approach for an issue long treated as politically sensitive and heavily classified.
Officials said the files were reviewed for security concerns before release, though the administration acknowledged many of the materials have not yet been fully analyzed or resolved.
The Pentagon has previously reviewed hundreds of UAP reports from troops and government personnel while offering few definitive answers in many cases.
UFO Encounters Draw Growing Military Scrutiny
The disclosure effort follows years of growing bipartisan pressure in Congress and mounting military interest surrounding unexplained aerial encounters reported by U.S. pilots, radar operators, intelligence personnel and defense officials.
The Pentagon previously established the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, or AARO, to investigate anomalous incidents observed across air, maritime, space and other domains. Congress also previously pushed for rapid-response teams to investigate military UFO sightings and gather field data.

Several congressional hearings in recent years featured testimony from former military and intelligence officials alleging the government withheld information tied to unexplained incidents and unidentified craft, helping drive renewed demands for broader transparency and public disclosure.
At the same time, skeptics and some defense analysts have argued many reported incidents can ultimately be explained through drones, balloons, sensor malfunctions, classified military programs or foreign surveillance activity rather than extraterrestrial origins.
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said the agency would continue using scientific analysis and data-driven research to examine anomalous incidents.
"At NASA, our job is to bring the brightest minds and most advanced scientific instruments to bear, follow the data, and share what we learn," Isaacman said.
The administration said additional records, videos and government files will continue to be released on a rolling basis through the new portal.
