US releases 4th tranche of declassified UFO files
What's new: The latest UAP release extends a government effort to open long-classified records to public review.
The US government has released a fourth batch of records on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, the latest step in a broader push to declassify files tied to UFO investigations. The release adds to earlier disclosures of material that had been kept secret for years. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the records had fueled speculation and argued the public should be able to examine the information directly. The move continues a transparency effort around UAP files as interest in unexplained aerial incidents remains high in Washington and among the public.
