162 Declassified UAP Documents Highlight Broad Official Interest and a Push for Transparency, Without Confirming Extraterrestrial Life

To the point

An unprecedented release of 162 declassified unidentified-phenomena documents shows sustained official interest and investigation from 1945 to last year, but it does not confirm extraterrestrial life, highlighting transparency and ongoing debate—with a strong emphasis on New Mexico sightings, FBI memos and Roswell notes, Apollo-era astronaut reports, and recent infrared footage—and with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth promoting openness and a promise that more material will follow, while names such as Madeline Gwynne Merchant, Lonnie Zamora, and Maxwell W. Hunter II are mentioned.
