In this 6 May 2026 video, host Cash Jordan talks about how President Trump has released a large batch of previously classified UFO files.
As of May 2026, the Trump administration has launched a major, rolling declassification effort focusing heavily on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) and UFO files, with officials calling it a historic level of transparency. The Pentagon released an initial batch of over 160 declassified files, including photos, videos, and audio from the 1940s to 2026. President Trump directed federal agencies to identify and release all records related to UAPs and extraterrestrial life, citing intense public interest. The release is part of a “rolling” process, with more files expected from the Pentagon, FBI, and other agencies. President Trump previously issued orders to reevaluate and release long-held records related to the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr
While Trump has claimed to have declassified substantial amounts of information—sometimes noting he could do so just by “thinking about it”—legal experts and court rulings have noted that formal procedures are generally required to memorialize declassification. Reports indicate that while many UFO-related files were released, the “declassified everything” statement specifically refers to the sweeping directive for UFO, extraterrestrial, and high-interest historical documents.
The 2026 release of UAP files includes material previously kept hidden, but initial analyses by researchers have not immediately confirmed the existence of extraterrestrial technology.
