Boxy forms and odd lights: US declassifies more UFO files

The United States has just released a fourth tranche of records on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), marking a significant step toward greater transparency. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth highlighted that the long‑classified files have fueled justified speculation, stressing the public’s right to see the information.

The new releases continue a trend that began last year with earlier declassifications, expanding the publicly available data set. Analysts say the documents will provide fresh context for researchers and the general public, potentially reshaping the narrative around UFO sightings.
