The US regime under President Donald Trump has released over 100 documents related to Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), a move Trump hailed as 'complete and maximum transparency.' The White House directed multiple agencies, including the Pentagon, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Energy Department, NASA, and the FBI, to declassify and publish the files.

The Pentagon led the release on Friday, with a total of 162 files made public. These include old State Department cables, FBI documents, and transcripts from NASA crewed space flights. The documents span decades, with the most recent dated January 1 of this year.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth claimed that 'these files, hidden behind classifications, have long fueled justified speculation — and it's time the American people see it for themselves.' Trump criticized previous administrations for lacking transparency, stating that 'people can decide for themselves, 'WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?''

Critics have dismissed the disclosure as a distraction from the US regime's unpopular military campaign against Iran and other domestic issues. Former Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene called it 'propaganda,' writing on X: 'I really don't care about the UFO files. I'm so sick of the 'look at the shiny object' propaganda.'

Among the documents are over 20 videos showing unidentified objects captured by military sensors in locations from Syria and Japan to North America. Notable items include astronaut Buzz Aldrin's observation of a 'fairly bright light source' during Apollo 11, and a photo from Apollo 17 showing three dots in a triangular formation, described by the Pentagon as a possible 'physical object.'
