The Trump Administration has become the first administration to release a series of never-before-seen images and videos of unidentified flying objects (UFOS), delivering on another promise Trump made to the American people.
This is the first batch of UFO files to be released to the public. More will be revealed at later dates.
Fox News was the first to obtain the files, which have since been released on War.gov/UFO.

As FOX News’s Peter Doocy notes, the first video shows an unidentified flying object spotted over the United Arab Emirates in June 2024. The War Department described it as an “inverted teardrop with an inverted linear trailing mass.”
The War Department could not identify the object. It is officially listed as an unresolved UAP report.
A second video shows another UAP flying over the skies of Iraq in December 2022, moving from the bottom left to the top right of the field of view. CENTCOM claimed they only got an area of contrast.
It is also listed as an unresolved UAP report.
The third video is an unknown object over the skies of Greece in October 2023. The War Department describes it as a small, circular UAP flying near the ocean surface towards land.
CENTCOM could identify the object, referring to it as an “unresolved UAP report.”

The Trump White House also shared photos of weirdly shaped objects captured on tape during the Apollo 12 and Apollo 17 space missions.
As one can see, this photo taken from the Apollo 17 mission on the surface of the moon shows a cluster of three tiny dots in the sky.
Fox News also notes that a transcript of communications between Apollo 17 operators was released on Friday as part of the disclosure, detailing the exchange about the unknown object.
FIRST OPERATOR: Now we’ve got a few very bright particles or fragments or something that go drifting by as we maneuver.
CENTER: Roger. Understand.
SECOND OPERATOR: There’s a whole bunch of big ones on my window down there – just bright. It looks like the Fourth of July out of Ron’s window.
FIRST OPERATOR: Yes. Now you can see some of them in shape. They’re very jagged, angular fragments that are tumbling.
A photo released by the FBI contains images from New Year’s Eve 1999 showing other UFOS in the same image as U.S. aircraft.
The White House released the following statement to Fox News following the release of the files:
The latest UAP videos, photos, and original source documents from across the entire United States government are all in one place – no clearance required. While past administrations sought to discredit or dissuade the American people, President Trump is focused on providing maximum transparency to the public, who can ultimately make up their own minds about the information contained in these files.
