The UFO files are set to go live today at 8am ET / 1pm BST according to Rep. Luna, and we'll show you how to access the declassified UFO videos safely, securely and privately with the right VPN.

Washington’s long-promised UFO file dump starts with up to 'UAP material' including documents and declassified files that President Donald Trump has described as "very interesting".

With Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day film out in June, it certainly feels like we're living in The Age of Disclosure. Here's how to access UFO files and Aliens.gov from anywhere – with a solid VPN.

What is likely in the UFO files?

What is likely in the UFO files?

Republican Anna-Paulina Luna has been teasing the UFO files again , posting "8am ET" on Thursday, 7 May. Line

So far, the “UFO files” appear to contain a mix of military UAP reports, pilot testimony, radar logs, declassified videos and internal government investigations into unexplained aerial phenomena — not a giant “we found aliens” smoking gun.

Luna has confirmed on X/Twitter that the requested 46 videos and documents will arrive in the second batch of the disclosure.

A lot of today's buzz centres on:

  • Navy “Tic Tac”-style encounters
  • Cockpit footage and thermal imagery
  • Radar tracking data
  • Reports of objects accelerating or manoeuvring beyond known aircraft capabilities
  • Possible underwater “USO” sightings
  • Congressional testimony from whistleblowers claiming hidden retrieval programs

Is this full disclosure? Will it show aliens exist?

No. The first UFO files won't prove that aliens exist or that a flying saucer landed at Holloman Airbase for a meeting with President Eisenhower. Don't expect 4K videos of UFOs going in and out of the water.

There’s currently no verified evidence in the public releases confirming extraterrestrial life. Even pro-disclosure sources such as Rep. Tim Burchett and Weaponized podcaster Jeremy Corbell say the rollout is more about transparency around unexplained incidents and classified investigations than an official 'alien announcement'.

Why should I use a VPN to see the UFO files? Any tips?

Most premium VPNs also include kill switches, tracker blocking and malware protection, which is probably overkill for UFO browsing… but then again, so was building Area 51. Just remember: use official sources where possible, avoid random “leak” sites packed with pop-ups, and maybe don’t answer any unmarked black sedans parked outside your house afterward.
