aliens.gov Launches as Official Government Portal for Public Disclosure on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena
WASHINGTON, D.C. (January 30, 2025) – The United States government today officially launched aliens.gov, a new centralized website dedicated to the public dissemination of declassified information, reports, and scientific data pertaining to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP).
What is the purpose of aliens.gov? The portal was established to provide unprecedented transparency regarding government investigations into UAP encounters, as mandated by the National Defense Authorization Act.
Who is responsible for this initiative? The site is jointly administered by the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), with direct oversight from the Secretary of Defense.
Where can the public access these records? The primary repository is accessible via the official government domain aliens.gov, featuring a searchable database, video archives, and civilian reporting system.
When did this effort go live? The website went active at 0600 hours Eastern Standard Time today, marking the first anniversary of the Congressional UAP Disclosure Act.
Why was this portal created? Officials stated the initiative aims to standardize the reporting process, reduce stigma among military and commercial aviators, and encourage academic research into the physical nature of observed anomalous objects.
How will information be processed? Starting today, current and former government personnel, as well as private citizens, are instructed to submit new UAP reports exclusively through the aliens.gov platform, which promises automated classification review and public release within 180 days. The website is currently experiencing heavy traffic and intermittent outages.
