The Pentagon, joined by the Department of Defense, FBI, NASA and the State Department, posted 162 declassified files spanning 1948 to 2026, including 120 PDFs, 28 videos and 14 images. The collection contains Apollo-era papers, eyewitness reports from the 1940s and video footage of unidentified aerial phenomena over Greece, Iraq and the United Arab Emirates. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the records "have long fueled justified speculation, and it's time the American people see" them, and the release expands the public record available for scientific, historical and national security review.
