In response to President Donald J. Trump’s directive for transparency
on U.S. government information regarding Unidentified Anomalous
Phenomena (UAP), the Department of War (DOW), with support from the
Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), is overseeing
government wide efforts to expeditiously find, review, identify,
declassify and publicly release unresolved UAP-related records and
historical documents in the federal government’s possession. This is
an unprecedented, historic undertaking that requires coordination
between dozens of agencies and the review of tens of millions of
records, many existing only on paper, spanning many decades. Given the
scope of this task, the Department of War will be releasing new
materials on a rolling basis as they are discovered and declassified,
with tranches posted every few weeks.
The materials archived here are unresolved cases, meaning the
government is unable to make a definitive determination on the nature
of the observed phenomena. This can occur for a variety of reasons,
including a lack of sufficient data, and the Department of War
welcomes the application of private-sector analysis, information and
expertise. DOW will continue to conduct separate reporting on resolved
UAP cases, as mandated by statute. Under this Administration, we will
pursue the truth and share our findings with the American people.
