The Trump administration has launched a Pentagon website that provides public access to declassified files on unidentified flying objects—officially termed Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP). The site goes live after years of congressional hearings, government investigations, and mounting pressure from lawmakers and the public for greater transparency on the issue.
Years of Pressure for UAP Disclosure
The creation of the dedicated website follows a long push for the U.S. government to share what it knows about UAPs. Multiple hearings on Capitol Hill, including sessions with former intelligence officials and military pilots, brought the topic into the mainstream. Investigative reports from the Pentagon’s own task forces had previously confirmed dozens of unexplained encounters, but the information was often released piecemeal or behind classified walls. This new portal aims to centralize and declassify at least a portion of that record.
What the Website Contains
The Pentagon’s UAP website hosts a collection of declassified documents, videos, and other materials that were previously unavailable to the public in one place. While the exact scope of the archive has not been fully detailed, the administration described it as a repository of officially cleared files. The site is intended to serve as a single source for vetted information, reducing the reliance on leaks or unofficial summaries.
A Step Toward Transparency
The launch marks a concrete response to bipartisan calls for a more open approach to UAP data. Critics had long argued that the government’s fragmented handling of the issue fueled speculation and distrust. By putting declassified files directly online, the Pentagon is offering a way for the public to see—at least in part—what investigators have examined. The move does not resolve all questions about the origins or nature of the phenomena, but it does signal a shift from secrecy to controlled disclosure.
The website is now live, providing a direct window into decades of official UAP records.
