Someone gets Mulder and Scully on the phone. We have a real life X-Files The situation is happening!
Yes, after weeks of hype, the Trump administration’s War Department today began releasing its files on UFOs and unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP).
Skeptics and believers alike are now studying the documents in search of conclusive evidence of intelligent life on other planets.
The good news is that there is a lot of information in today’s dump, which has been posted on the official War Department website.
The Trump administration says there is much more to come.
The bad news is that the files released today are no more conclusive than previous eyewitness accounts and inaccurate video footage.
The files contain descriptions of incidents that occurred during the Apollo 12 and Apollo 17 missions to the Moon.
During the Apollo 12 mission in 1969, astronaut Alan Bean reported “flashes of light” and noted that they appeared to be “cruising through space.”
Since space travel was still a very new phenomenon in those days, the ground crew was at a loss.
Years later, Apollo 17 astronauts reported “jagged” points of light that were “rolling” and “spinning away,” and an image of the phenomenon is included in the data repository today.
But it is unlikely to convince any non-believers.
The files also contain internal military memos describing a “possible small UAP unit” in Iraq in 2022, as well as “multiple flares or light from an unknown source” observed in Syria in 2024.
Many experts believe that these incidents can likely be attributed to foreign intelligence operations.
Naturally, the files become a supernatural Rohrschach test, with each person projecting their own beliefs and agendas onto the available information.
Rep. Lauren Boebert made her comment on the government’s release of the UFO files, saying the aliens are actually “fallen angels and tyrants” from the Old Testament: “I think that’s more spiritual, and if you really want to go there, it’s demonic.” pic.twitter.com/Qol8m8wIYD

Take, for example, Rep. Lauren Boebert, who believes we are dealing with evidence of the existence of demons.
“I think it’s more spiritual, and if you really want to go there, it’s demonic,” she said on social media today.
“The American people can now immediately access the federal government’s declassified UAP files,” the White House said in a press release, adding:
“The latest UAP videos, photos, and original source documents from across the entire US government are in one place – no permission required.”
“The American people have asked for more transparency on these topics, and President Trump is delivering.”
There is still a lot of information to be released. We have doubts that these files will change the opinions of many regarding the existence of aliens.
But as David Duchovny once said, the truth is out there.
