UAP Reports from 1944-2026. What the Dates Reveal.
The Pentagon's declassified UAP files span 82 years, four agencies, and 34 incidents. This interactive timeline lets you explore every record — from WWII foofighters to a 2026 Army infrared video released the same day as the dataset.
Uncharacteristically fast, trans-medium, and otherwise anomalous phenomena caught on video in 2026 could conceivably be explained away as next-gen tech that just hasn't made it into the public consciousness yet. But observed in the pre-Sputnik era? Noted during the Apollo 12 misson? That's more challenging.
The Department of War released its first public UAP files today, but what do they really tell us? If nothing else, they show us we're going to need some better explanations.
