- sedatk 5mo agoThe page uses Berkeley Mono Trial typeface which swaps certain glyphs like `*`, `#`, `/`, and `\`.
- david-gpu 5mo agoAccording to US congresswoman Luna this is the first of several releases that will be coming out in the following weeks. Edit: I had a look at a bunch of the videos and didn't find anything remarkable, in my opinion. The witness testimonies read like so many others.

- mandeepj 5mo agoThey are hopping on for endorsements, election funds, and votes from his followers.
- bredren 5mo agoThey may read like so many others, but what I don't understand is why special agents in the FBI would take it upon themselves to report strange phenomena. This seems like it would be a CLM, as the authority of their testimony is central to their function as federal LE. For example, see this document: https://www.war.gov/medialink/ufo/release_1/western_us_event_slides_5.08.2026.pdf https://www.war.gov/medialink/ufo/release_1/western_us_event... (from series of documents from incident data 9/1/23)
- hnfong 5mo agoCould be spy technology from other countries, I suppose.
- bredren 5mo ago> The object was described as being "similar to the Eye or [sic] Sauron from Lord of the Rings, except without the pupil, or maybe an orange Storm Electrify bowling ball." It would have been some fantastic spy tech, alright.
- david-gpu 5mo agoYes, you touch on something that is key to the past few years of soft disclosure: why are highly cleared people like Grusch, Gallaudet, Nell, and so many others putting themselves in such a delicate position? I have not been able to come up with a solid plausible explanation, other than they genuinely believe what they say, bizarre as it sounds. And what sort of evidence does it take for people like that to believe things like that? I presume it takes more than blurry dots moving against a dark background. Hopefully future data releases will give us something that answers that question.

- dgellow 5mo agoI would highly recommend that you see treatment. And I mean it seriously
- beardyw 5mo ago> distraction for something else? The list is endless. Obvious distraction.
- aurareturn 5mo agoFeels like every time the government wants us to pay attention to something else, they release something about UFOs and aliens.
- conception 5mo agoOr go to war.
- djray 5mo ago"Skirmish" or "Conflict" or "Action". It's less illegal if you don't call it a war.
- cj 5mo agoIf the full extent of the distraction is a 3 minute segment on cable news (and this HN submission), this is a complete failure of a distraction attempt. I can't tell if comments like this are serious or rage bait.
- andsoitis 5mo agoSummary: no proof of aliens.
- abacadaba00 5mo agoIf you read carefully, only “inconclusive” reports have been released. I guess that’s what “Unexplained Areal Phenomena” means.
- SiempreViernes 5mo agoThat's a good point, they should also release all the reports that have been conclusively shown to have an ordinary explanation.
- prirun 5mo agoAlong with the reports that have been conclusively shown to have an extraterrestrial explanation. We'll never see those, if they exist.
- Tubelord 5mo agoThey have. Even during the congressional hearings on the subject they were talking about and referencing many already fully debunked UAP sighting footage

- abacadaba00 5mo ago
- dtagames 5mo agoThe War Department has unlimited access to LLMs and compute, but these are delivered as unlabeled files that one must download individually. That's ridiculous.
- free_bip 5mo agoIt makes more sense when you realize the whole point is to distract from the continued failure to release the Epstein files.
- 0ckpuppet 5mo agoor distact from the Iran war, or distract from Israel, or distract from corruption... distraction from distractions. We keep buying what they're selling, and then complain the milk is still sour.
- dylan604 5mo agoEasy with the use of "we" there buddy. Just look at the polling. There are way more people not buying the bullshit, and the numbers keep getting worse as even the faithful are tiring of it as well. So just tossing "we" around becomes offensive as you've now included me into something I will not be a part of.
- selectodude 5mo agoToo little too late, unfortunately. The train has left the station.
- anigbrowl 5mo agoThe numbers have sort of plateaued. There's a ~30% of the population that is all-in on Trump for emotional/psychological reasons, who have very different values from the rest of the population. Where others see malicious incompetence, they see him sticking it to their opponents and are even willing to suffer as long as they perceive their opponents to be suffering more. So although they don't like paying a lot of extra money for gas, they will put up with it for a long time because the payoff is seeing others suffer more. IT's not that Trump created this mindset, although he was able to capitalize on it due to being celebrity; about 1/3 of people are assholes and they're able to use the internet to network and coordinate like any other group. Unfortuantely, they are one of the largest social groups, while opponents have to deal with the friction of coalition politics.
- gekoxyz 5mo agoThis administration is so hilarious. Every day looks like an episode from The Office
- coldpie 5mo ago[flagged]
- sedawkgrep 5mo ago> at least it's also hilarious. Until it stops being hilarious. Then what?
- jazzypants 5mo agoI mean, there are three options that I see. We vote them out peacefully, we end up in a long-term horrific dystopian society, or we overthrow them violently. I'm doing everything I can to make sure that the first option becomes reality, but I'm honestly starting to lose hope.
- Gud 5mo agoYou can also move.
- jazzypants 5mo agoSorry, but I'm actually a bit of a patriot who cares about his country, so I don't want to run away when it is being dismantled by thugs. Why shouldn't it be the criminal billionaires and politicians that move? They're the minority. Do you believe in the rule of law?

- MSFT_Edging 5mo agoOnce you understand that legitimacy of rule by the wealthy is the primary corner stone of the United States, you'll understand that even the wealthy who didn't participate in the Epstein coalition don't want to open that can of worms. It's why the Democrats keep only pushing social issues, they are captured and cannot make any radical change without losing the support of their wealthy donors. Another way to look at it, consider that every coup that occurred in South America was done extra-legally to protect American corporate/monetary interests.

- SV_BubbleTime 5mo agoIt’s a wild web of alliances if Biden and the DNC had evidence of Trump impropriety with Epstein which would be the absolute defined end of Trump, and refused to play even that small bit in the event that it implicated a Sponsor too.

- ahmetcadirci25 5mo agoThe US Department of Defense has published a CSV dataset containing UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) observation records. It appears to include structured entries that can be used for independent analysis and research. Dataset: https://www.war.gov/Portals/1/Interactive/2026/UFO/uap-csv.csv https://www.war.gov/Portals/1/Interactive/2026/UFO/uap-csv.c... Mirror: https://gist.github.com/ahmetcadirci25/e4edb7d30109fdb8ff14b73dc75f67bc https://gist.github.com/ahmetcadirci25/e4edb7d30109fdb8ff14b... Could be useful for anyone interested in data analysis, anomaly detection, or open government datasets.
- kittikitti 5mo agoThank you for the links. I was able to find the CSV too by taking a look at the network sources from the webpage. I find that the dataset is messy, with missing data. For example, 65_HS1-834228961_62-HQ-83894_Serial_153 has a link that doesn't work either in the CSV nor the webpage. On the other hand, there is no link in the CSV for NASA-UAP-D3A, Gemini 7 Audio Excerpt, 1965 but the link in the webpage does work. It utilizes https://api.dvidshub.net/ https://api.dvidshub.net/ to request the content. Another example are incident dates like with DOW-UAP-PR36, Unresolved UAP Report, Middle East, May 2020 that are N/A in the CSV but have an incorrect one inside the snippet (5/1/20 as opposed to 5/14/20). It also seems like there are duplicate incidents just with different media. By the way, the video in this incident is compelling. I look forward to dissecting the dataset but it's far from perfect. There is definitely a massive amount of potential here.
- booleandilemma 5mo agoTheir site has a bad link. The file for "65_HS1-834228961_62-HQ-83894_Serial_153" is here: https://www.war.gov/medialink/ufo/release_1/65_HS1-834228961_62-HQ-83894_Serial_153.pdf https://www.war.gov/medialink/ufo/release_1/65_HS1-834228961...

- russfink 5mo agoIn the same vein - the Roswell Museum and Research Center - the library portion is underrepresented in its ads. It is a library about the size of an elementary / middle school library filled with supposed accounts and testimony, academic-style papers and reports. One could spend days admiring this collection.

- enoint 5mo agoIt’s regex based. They’re looking for 8647, or the sum, 25. 25 cents is a quarter, so anything with George Washington’s profile is suspect. And 25 cents in old time slang is two bits (a Spanish dollar was 8 bits, or a piece of 8). Some younger people abbreviated two bits into 2b, so we now have some divisive terminology, “2b or not 2b”. Short list of regexes.
- Stevvo 5mo agoFrom Europe I get a blank page saying 'Not Found'. Had to VPN to US to load it.
- techteach00 5mo agoI want to believe this is legitimate but since when has the government treated it's citizens as informed adults? This is coming from someone who has seen multiple unidentified orange orbs in his life. Interesting I guess.
- Stevvo 5mo agoThe cynical take would be that releasing the X-Files is only meant to distract from the Epstein files and/or failed war in Iran.
- techteach00 5mo agoYa or maybe pandering to what the admin thinks is a small part of the GOP base that is interested in these things. The UI is awful btw. I want searchable folders.
- OutOfHere 5mo agoWhen and where have you seen the orange orbs? What were they doing? Have you managed to record any?

- mapontosevenths 5mo agoArgumentum ad Populum.
- danbruc 5mo agoNo, I was only wondering how many people believe that we were visited by aliens for somewhat reasonable reasons. I would guess quite a few people would say that they believe that at least one of the UFO sightings was an actual UFO but I would also guess that most people are only informed by headlines or History Channel documentaries and only relatively few people have dedicated some non-trivial amount of time to look into the topic like you would for other topics that interest you.

It's about a famous concept that came from a book written by a Jewish Marxist who fled Nazi Germany. he wrote it in Paris in 1935 as the Nuremberg Laws were passed. Killed himself in 1940 trying to escape the Gestapo. He's not hiding any of it. Masquerade is a bit rich.

- weakfish 5mo agoAn article about a topic doesn’t mean it’s endorsed - are you seriously suggesting that Wikipedia shouldn’t host an article that describes a theory if you don’t like the theory?
- netbioserror 5mo agoAre you seriously suggesting an encyclopedia should be packed with crackpot conspiracy theories, academic charlatanry, quackery, and agitprop? Or does that not defeat the point? Keep the author's biography, but his "theories" are best left for a footnote in the biography, or websites that explicitly serve as a museum for failed ideas.
- stackedinserter 5mo agoGosh, people, are you ever satisfied with anything? "This sandwich is good, but I can't enjoy it because Epstein files are not released"
- coldpie 5mo agoThe objection is that releasing blurry pictures of airplanes, birds, and lens artifacts is not newsworthy, but it's getting coverage anyway instead of the things that are newsworthy.
- DANmode 5mo agoComments I’m seeing are more like: “This sandwich is bad, also we’re ignoring their covering for sex trafficking.”
- notahacker 5mo agoOr "the public asked the government for transparency about sex trafficking, maybe it isn't transparency for the government to excitedly reveal the contents of a sandwich are a nothingburger"
- stackedinserter 5mo agoAre these your thoughts when you're having a lunch?
- notahacker 5mo agoI don't tend to rely on whatever scraps the US govt feeds me for lunch. YMMV.
- stackedinserter 5mo agoIf you look at your meals and think "that's scraps from US gov", then you probably need to seek help, seriously.

- moralestapia 5mo agoI personally like Trump as a president. Unfortunately, that's not something one can openly say these days.
- dylan604 5mo agoyes yes, because the right was completely tolerant of democratic administrations. both sides are blind to their own faults which is natural as nobody likes wallowing in their own issues. it's much easier to whataboutism the topic instead. Trump has blamed his predecessors to the point it seems obsessive. As someone that leans left more than right, I'm willing to accept the faults of the platform. would you be willing to do the same for yours?

These files, hidden behind classifications, have long fueled justified speculation — and it’s time the American people see it for themselves. This release of declassified documents demonstrates the Trump Administration’s earnest commitment to unprecedented transparency." -United States Secretary of War Pete Hegseth If they truly want to 'serve the people' it would be time to release the full Epstein files - or at least stop starting wars and/or supporting warmongers while profiting of the resulting world-wide miseries with their insider trading.

People have told stories alleging these are true, but they have for decades failed to substantiate them with evidence. All they've been able to do is tell wild fantasy stories and occasionally get a video or photo released that is laughably bad and does not support the story at all. Which keeps happening, but the people who believe in alien visitation to Earth never seem to care that the alleged "evidence" keeps falling apart when it's actually released and scrutinized. They just move on to hyping up the next alleged evidence. It's honestly a cult dynamic at play here. Always reference to secret evidence and no epistemic adjustment after repeated cases of what they believed was evidence for their belief turning out to not be evidence for their belief. They never learn from all the past times they got scammed.

There has been some coverage of the explosion in occult and ufo stories from TASS etc, such as “The New Age of Russia” compiled by Otto Sagner, but that work is more focused on historically documenting the phenomenon, rather than analyzing its causes. Not my area of expertise, I should say!
- dinkumthinkum 5mo agoWhy do so many of you think this is some big distraction campaign? They have talked about this kind of thing before and people then made distraction allegations.

I think they know Democrats are still going to be talking about that, and "de-colonizing," talking about kings and fascism and all that. I think the whole UFO business is silly but I struggle to see it as some big conspiracy to distract it's not like it ever makes much of a difference one way or the other.
- mrexcess 5mo agoI would agree that it’s silly. So did former President Obama when he mocked the notion recently. While motivating intent is always opaque to some extent, this would appear to be another form of a “flood the zone” approach, in my estimation.

One of them shows a missile passing through the field of view rapidly with a motion blur streak behind it. The other shows a missile performing maneuvers and a camera artifact showing a star-like diffraction+aperture artifact around the bright IR light source. None of these pieces of imagery look like something doing something particularly interesting. What happens is a military personnel records a video. They don't know what it is in the moment. It gets labeled "unknown" and put on a DoD file server, and then either they or someone else who stumbles across it clips out part of it and starts to spread rumors about this amazing video of a UAP they saw. There are people who work for the DoD who appear to spend a great deal of their free time scrolling around internal DoD file servers looking for anything they can portray as proof of aliens, and sometimes they leak their stories and even clips to public UFO influencers like Jeremy Corbell.

- pear01 5mo agoThey will never release them. The distraction will morph into all the electoral subterfuge they will attempt as they increasingly fear losing power at the polls. They know what's in those files and what will happen to them if they lose in 2028. Thus they will be even more incentivized to behave badly. If gas prices double from here it will be less stupid distraction and more overt authoritarianism... the ICE question has not been settled. ICE is still violating your neighbors and making a mockery of what is supposed to be a society of free people. They merely thought the overt city takeovers and shooting Americans in the head had become a bad look that wasn't worth it politically. The persistence of this calculus is not inevitable.

- lenerdenator 5mo agoI'll repost what I said in the other thread since this has more legs as a discussion: Honestly, what difference does it make? Unless Lrrr, Ruler of Omicron Perseii 8, lands a saucer on the White House lawn tomorrow and announces he's the new ruler of Earth, all of this means nothing. I still have to go to work, I still can't buy a house without going into unreasonable financial risk, gas will still be creeping up to $5/gal in Kansas City, and I'll still be wondering if I'll be replaced by AI before I finish up saving for retirement. And that's to say nothing of Epstein or Iran.
- krapp 5mo agoTo play Devil's advocate here, since I don't believe for a second that any of this is actually aliens - even knowing that alien life exists, much less intelligent life that's aware of us, fundamentally transforms the way we contextualize ourselves and the universe. And knowing that certain physics-defying technologies like faster than light travel, anti-gravity, etc. apparently exist would completely turn our existing scientific models on their heads. You're right though, most people still have to go to work, and have other more pressing issues to deal with. I'm reminded that many Americans are convinced that we've already been through two alien invasions (the "New Jersey drone" sightings last year and the "Chinese spy balloon" incident in 2023, both of which were strongly wrapped up into the UFO conspiracy narrative) and that the US government has confirmed, officially and on record, that aliens are real and UFOs are alien spacecraft (they've done nothing of the sort.) Yet there isn't panic in the streets. People compartmentalize and move on with their lives if it doesn't affect them personally. People still had to go to work when Einstein discovered relativity, but that still mattered in the long run. If any of this were true, in the sense of being actually aliens, it would still matter. Even if the truth is just that are apparently physics defying craft that the government is aware of but doesn't know where they come from, and all of the rest of the UFO and conspiracy stuff is nonsense, it's just weird shit in the sky that's definitely actually there, that's still interesting.
- lenerdenator 5mo agoIf it actually mattered, do you think this administration would be talking about it? Of course not. The whole rationale of the Trump administration has been that Donald Trump is the CEO of the US government, and that he gets to run it in a way that brings him maximum personal and financial benefit so long as he gives conservatives patronage every once in a while. He's at the top. He's accountable to no one. It's the Trump Organization with access to the state's monopoly on violence and tax dollars. If you have an alien civilization with the abilities you're talking about, particularly faster-than-light travel, he's no longer at the top. He's just another semi-hairless insane ape like the rest of us staring down the barrel of colonization by a technologically-superior civilization. Also, if this stuff were real, why didn't he release more of it during his first administration? Sure, there have been developments since 2020, but not compared to everything between the 1940s and 2020. The answer is simple: he needs us distracted now more than he did in the first administration.

- mrandish 5mo agoFor anyone else who has a UFO-crazy uncle, I've found Mick West's YouTube channel to be invaluable https://www.youtube.com/c/mickwest https://www.youtube.com/c/mickwest. Mick is a retired video game programmer (Spider Man, Guitar Hero, Tony Hawk), who does extremely well-researched videos analyzing UFO claims. He's not flashy or trying to be entertaining, just thorough, evidence-based and scientifically rigorous. He'll even do controlled experiments, recreations and 3D models to validate what's going on. And he's unfailingly respectful no matter how unhinged the claim. His work explaining the "Gimbal Video" is a good example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7jcBGLIpus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7jcBGLIpus
- cubefox 5mo agoHe doesn't seem to explain the recently popular "transients" though.
- mrandish 5mo agoI think it takes time. I can only imagine the hours required to research, develop and shoot such well-evidenced explanations, given that part of his audience is true believers searching for any gap through which they can sustain their beliefs. But look at his website: https://www.metabunk.org https://www.metabunk.org. A quick search there for "Transients" returned several pages of posts, some from Mick himself. Frankly, I don't follow it these days as I have nowhere near Mick's saintly level of patience to so calmly endure a never-ending game of whac-a-mole. Rational, evidence-based skeptics like Mick are doomed to Sisyphean toil because even after they've resoundingly explained a hundred vague claims, UFO (and Chem-Trail, Flat Earth, etc) true believers will always find a new one to hitch their belief to. Because, apparently, a consistent trend of 100 consecutive falsifications implies nothing about the likelihood of #101. And at the end of the day, it's impossible to conclusively prove a negative.
- hnfong 5mo ago> Because, apparently, a consistent trend of 100 consecutive falsifications implies nothing about the likelihood of #101. And at the end of the day, it's impossible to conclusively prove a negative. That's right. Not sure why you sound a bit unhappy with this. In particular, a source can become more untrustworthy over time if the source is repeatedly proven to lie or be reckless about the truth. I'm not sure you can apply the same logic to "categories of claims". What is the rationale behind your implied frustration that people are not "learning" that some "categories of claims" tend to be untrue? (not to mention the arbitrary grouping of totally disparate ones like Chem-Trails and Flat Earth)
- montjoy 5mo agoMy only question is, why release on a Friday? “News dump day” Or is that only late on Friday?

- cubefox 5mo agoA bit unfortunate that the terminology was changed from UFO to UAP. I liked UFO, most people knew what it meant, unlike UAP.
- mcswell 5mo agoThere may actually have been a legitimate reason for that. First, not all these "things" are said to be flying, some are supposed to have gone underwater (although "Aerial" sort of wrecks that idea). Second (and IMO more important), "Object" (in UFO) begs the question of whether these are objects. Many of them are not--they're artifacts in imaging or radar systems, or optical illusions--perhaps intentional illusions. ("Things" that appear to be moving really fast, then take a sudden turn, are easily imitated by lines of drones carrying radar and/or visual transponders.)

It’s already known stuff, old hoaxes, cases from preexisting UFO literature, things that have already been leaked, and hilarious photos like people holding up a little humanoid alien. Sorry folks but if an EBE, an actual living being, crashed and climbed out, and if they could actually breathe and live in our atmosphere and at our temperature range, you’d seriously want to consider dropping a fuel air bomb or even a nuclear bomb immediately. Not because the alien is hostile, but because the millions of different forms of microbes utterly alien to our biosphere don’t care and would start looking for stuff to eat. Physical meetings with alien biology are going to be ruled out either environmentally — oxygen burns them like acid and we gasp and die in their hydrogen-ammonia air — or if not by the extreme mutual existential danger of contamination. A microbe with an alien biology could be, for instance, inedible to our microbes and hard for our immune systems to target but boy does it love the stuff in cell membranes on our planet. The inverse is true too. The “grey goo” nanotech scenario already happened. It’s called biology. It’s literal nanomachine goo that tries to eat everything.
- neom 5mo agoImo the most interesting thing is basically the operational details on Iran. It's efectively a view into into what years of sustained ISR over the Strait of Hormuz looks like. I gave the full dump of pdfs to Codex and asked it to pull out some details on Iran - "482 ATKS Reapers out of OKAS doing 20-hour orbits, 24-hour pre-coordination with NAVCENT, named Iranian assets being characterized — NASER WAPs, SAFIR KISH PCs, HOUDONG-class boats, IRIN aircraft (IL-76, IL-38, A-50U Mainstay D, SU-27/35) at Abu Musa Island airfield, vessels at Bushehr and the IRIN boatyard. We see the Iranian air-defense response logged in formal categories — "Guardcall Tone: PROFESSIONAL" vs "DIRECTIVE" — meaning U.S. forms have a structured way to grade Iranian threatening behavior, and the public can now see that they were hailed five times in a single 21-hour mission with two of those calls coded "Directive." Several reports disclose just enough operational detail to send a message, d28, for example, gives a surprisingly rich armed-overwatch context, weapon calibration, munitions released, and named sensor systems like MX-25, plus an object detected by MX-20 and MX-25 during an AGM-176 engagement . d74 gives target-development context, including stop-follow activity on a probable vehicle/person of interest before the UAP event later in the mission ." I wonder if when trump kept saying something to the effect of "Oh, I think some people will find some of it very interesting" - he meant adversaries are about to see how much intelligence has been collected and for how long.

Strange how common the triangle of orbs is in terms of sighting reports, and now we see that it was appreciated on the moon and documented as well. The various reports in there of federal agents experiencing sightings also seem credible and equally bizarre and inexplicable. I’m surprised as always that outside UFO based forums the reaction to this sort of information is basically nothing. People say well it must be x,y,z in the acceptable frame of reference and move on. Seems this was barely on the front page. I missed it and wondered where the thread on this must be and had to search for it. A true scientist believes everything is possibly true, not that everything is false and must be established to be true.
- imafish 5mo agoThat, combined with the recording of Gemini 7 [1] and the debriefing of Apollo 11 crew (Armstrong, Aldrin, Collins) [2] is also what find I most compelling. These are highly trained astronauts, engineers and fighter pilots. In the case of Apollo 11, they went straight to a press conference and stated that they saw nothing out of the ordinary, basically lying to the public. 60 years later, and we still (presumably) have no clue what they saw, except that it was important enough to keep classified.
