Pentagon Accelerates Declassified UFO Document Release Starting January 2025

The Pentagon began releasing declassified UFO documents in January 2025 under a congressional mandate established in 2022. The multi-agency effort, coordinated across the Pentagon, White House, Director of National Intelligence, Energy Department, NASA, and FBI, will continue on a rolling basis. The administration framed it as a shift from past policies that discouraged public access to UFO files. AARO, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, serves as the central coordination point, providing materials through its public reading room at aaro.mil.
