US Government releases first batch of UAP documents and videos

david-gpu•2h ago
According 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.

Pretty cool to dig in but distraction for something else?
abacadaba00•2h ago
I will tell all from an isolated account to protect it from karma assassination if this post gets 10 or more upvotes.

You can read my “sanitized” past threads to get an idea, though the full details are things that will get me immediately banned and I’m tired of trying to do the right thing to the ire of every hypocrite who wants to know yet hates hearing things they don’t want to know.

No upvotes, no dirty secrets.

dgellow•39m ago
I would highly recommend that you see treatment. And I mean it seriously
beardyw•2h ago
> distraction for something else?

The list is endless. Obvious distraction.

aurareturn•1h ago
Feels like every time the government wants us to pay attention to something else, they release something about UFOs and aliens.
conception•1h ago
Or go to war.
djray•47m ago
"Skirmish" or "Conflict" or "Action". It's less illegal if you don't call it a war.
cj•1h ago
If 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.

Forgeties79•56m ago
Something can be a bad distraction. The fact that they’re planning on releasing these at a drip over the coming weeks/months certainly builds a case that this is meant to be yet another distraction. And you can bet this administration is desperate for anything that turns people’s attention away from Iran.
goatlover•46m ago
And Iran used to be a distraction from something else the administration was desperate to turn the public's attention away from.
Forgeties79•40m ago
Maybe so but unlike near-meaningless UAP info dumps that one actually matters and has real world ramifications lol
booleandilemma•57m ago
Everything is a distraction from the fact that our politicians are all corrupt millionaires and we're effectively a country run by an oligarchy. Literally everything else is a distraction from this, to keep the machine going as long as possible, before a revolution takes place (which might happen without our lifetime, if we look at recent events).

Until it stops being hilarious. Then what?

jazzypants•43m ago
I 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.

Yes, I meant the evidence of Epstein's associates including the current supreme leader raping underaged girls. Including the evidence of his ties to intelligence agencies. Would help explain some wars right now, I would think.

Can't have people asking why another certain set of files weren't all released at once, too.

blastro•53m ago
So "no" to Epstein, but "yes" to "aliens". That tracks.
SV_BubbleTime•39m ago
I don’t understand why Biden didn’t release all of the Epstein files.
MSFT_Edging•26m ago
Once 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.

The 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.c...

Mirror: https://gist.github.com/ahmetcadirci25/e4edb7d30109fdb8ff14b...

Could be useful for anyone interested in data analysis, anomaly detection, or open government datasets.

Oh.. that tiny dot. I had (mis)interpreted the caption to mean the photograph was of an area below the helicopter the photo was taken from.

In 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. (I’m not shilling for it, just pointing out the best part is not the latex cadavers in the other room.).

Seeing all of the archived documents from the 50s and 60s is very cool. But unfortunately everything else I looked at was a giant nothingburger.

Some of the new videos were already identified as imaging artifacts a while ago.

"This sandwich is good, but I can't enjoy it because Epstein files are not released"

The 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.

From what we can see so far, the following are true:

- there exist technologies on our planet that human engineers and physicists do not know the underlying principles of their operation

- there exist unknown physical principles and forces that a party other than the USG has harnessed and implemented for advanced flight capability

- information about the phenomena has in fact been officially secret for several decades

- this concern is both real and existentially meaningful where, to sustain its own democratic legitimacy in its role as a servant to its people, the executive branch of the USG determined it is obligated to inform the public of its knowledge of these phenomena

The second part is the economic forecast of this. People absolutely knew, so we have to ask the question, why bother with SpaceX or even oil drilling if there was going to be an imminent overturning of flight physics? Arguably, just because some people have Bugatti's doesn't mean the rest of the world doesn't still need rickshaws. I think commercial space exploration with chemical rockets will be economical presently and foreseeably. Turns out we're the rickshaw people now.

Big thanks for all your comments! I'm been very worried long time of how these masonic/pdf/liars are running the whole world actually, not only in USA. These UFO/UAP files are again new distraction from the real problem.
