Trump, Hegseth Release UFO Files

The release includes about 40 files and records from Apollo-era reports to recent sightings, officials said.

  • On Friday, May 8, 2026, President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth released dozens of previously classified files concerning unidentified anomalous phenomena and alleged alien life.
  • The initial batch includes a 1969 debrief of Buzz Aldrin and Apollo mission transcripts describing 'bright light sources' and 'sizeable' objects near the lunar surface.
  • Documents also reference 'ultraterrestrials,' with one scientist in the video asking, 'So, the ultraterrestrials, I think have you heard of the P-52s and P-47s?'
  • These disclosures have unexpectedly propelled speculation regarding the suspicious death of researcher Amy Eskridge in June 2022 into the spotlight, alongside theories about extraterrestrial life.
  • The Pentagon stated additional material will be released as more documents are declassified, aiming to address public curiosity regarding government secrecy and UAP.
