Aliens.gov website live: 5 things you need to know about the new government portal
- The U.S. government has officially launched aliens.gov, a public-facing website dedicated to sharing declassified UFO/UAP reports, agency communications, and historical records in a single, searchable database.
- According to the portal's mission statement, the site is designed to increase transparency, allowing citizens to submit their own sighting reports directly to a new interagency task force, bypassing traditional FOIA requests.
- The site features a live ticker showing the number of unresolved reports and a map of recent, verified sightings, which has already crashed due to overwhelming global traffic within hours of going live.
- A controversial "Disclosure Timeline" section includes previously redacted documents from the 1940s onward, with claims that certain objects demonstrate "non-human intelligence" and "trans-medium travel capabilities."
- Critics are questioning the timing of the launch, noting it coincides with pending congressional hearings, while supporters call it the biggest step toward government accountability on extraterrestrial life since the Pentagon's 2020 UAP task force.
