The third release added FBI investigative records and Cold War-era intelligence as site traffic passed 1.7 billion hits.
On June 12, 2026, the Department of War published its third release of declassified and historical UAP files on WAR.GOV/UFO.
What was in it
The release spanned decades, from Cold War-era intelligence assessments to modern FBI records. One FBI document details a forensic sketch interview about an unresolved 2022 report near Colorado Springs. A September 23, 1947 memorandum from Air Materiel Command to Army Air Forces leadership acknowledged that officials did not believe every report had an explanation.
Public response
The Department said WAR.GOV/UFO had received over 1.7 billion hits worldwide since launch, reflecting the interest in the administration's transparency effort.
