Pentagon releases UFO files
Digest more
Over the last decade, since the work of a shadowy government program called the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program was made public in 2017, there has been growing public pressure on the US government to release its files related to aliens. At the same time, UFOs have been rebranded as Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon, or UAP.
A famous 'alien' photo, recently circulated as declassified material, has been traced back to a 1950 hoax, fuelling scepticism about the alien claims the Pentagon had been teasing for release.
Perspective: As things stand, the files say implicitly what officials won't explicitly. For now, it's all aboard the intergalactic hype train.
