U.S. launches Aliens.gov to release UFO files, Pentagon videos, and FBI records, fueling global intrigue over unexplained aerial phenomena.
The President Donald Trump has directed U.S. agencies to release government files on UFOs and “alien life,” with the Pentagon and FBI already preparing batches of documents for public release. The rollout will include a new official portal, Aliens.gov, though experts caution that most files may focus on unexplained aerial phenomena (UAP) rather than proof of extraterrestrials.
Notably, the U.S. government has already released several UFO/UAP video clips through the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). The latest batch went live in January 2026, showing unresolved aerial phenomena captured by military sensors and civilian devices. None of the clips confirm extraterrestrial activity.
All clips show unexplained aerial phenomena, but none prove extraterrestrial origin. Some remain unresolved due to insufficient data while others were explained as natural (birds). These clips are part of the Pentagon’s effort to meet public demand for disclosure.

However, experts stress that while the files may be fascinating, they are unlikely to prove extraterrestrial contact — most will cover unexplained aerial phenomena.
