Pentagon opens vault on UFO files, launches public archive

The Pentagon released 162 previously classified UFO/UAP files ordered by President Trump, spanning decades with documents from the FBI, NASA and others, and debuted a new online archive to promote transparency. Officials caution that many items were only screened for security and have not been fully analyzed, and no definitive evidence of alien life or technology has been confirmed; the move follows public chatter sparked by Obama’s remarks and ongoing political debate about distractions versus disclosure.

"Pentagon's 'Gremlin' Sensors: Identifying Orbital Anomalies"

The Pentagon's All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) is developing the "Gremlin System," a portable sensor kit to collect real-time data on unidentified objects in the sky or space, including UAPs (unidentified aerial phenomena). The system aims to identify and eliminate anomalous objects, surveil sensitive sites for airspace intrusions, and monitor U.S. satellites in orbit. AARO plans to present the Gremlin System to Pentagon leaders for potential deployment in response to UAP encounters at significant military locations or near critical infrastructure.
