Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said President Donald Trump shared the Pentagon’s UFO files to take people’s attention away from the impact of the war with Iran.
Trump said on Friday that he had released the first set of files about Unidentified Flying Objects and Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena.
He wrote on Truth Social, “As for my promise to you, the Department of War has released the first batch of the UFO/UAP files to the public for their review and study.”
He continued, “In an effort for complete and maximum transparency, it was my honor to direct my administration to identify and provide government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena, and unidentified flying objects.”
He added, “Whereas previous administrations have failed to be transparent on this subject, with these new documents and videos, the people can decide for themselves, ‘WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?’
Have fun and enjoy!”
Trump shared a link to the files at war.gov/UFO.
Greene criticized Trump’s claim of “maximum transparency” by pointing to the Epstein files.
She wrote, “The most transparent administration in history still hasn’t released all the Epstein files or arrested anyone, but rolled out some UFO files today so you would get so excited that you forgot you are paying over $4.50/gallon because they are fighting another foreign war they said they would no longer fight,” she added, “Happy Friday everyone!”
Fox News’s Peter Doocy reported that a government official left a thumb drive on his desk with the first round of files.
Doocy described several of the videos in what he called a “world exclusive.”
“We have been going through this all morning and overnight to try and put together the best videos so we can all look at this together,” Doocy said, before describing several of the videos.
The first video from the skies of the United Arab Emirates in 2024 showed a flying “inverted teardrop” with a “vertically linear trailing mass,” Doocy said.
Another clip from 2022 over Iraq showed “an area of contrast” floating across the screen, while a third video over the skies of Greece showed a “small and circular UAP,” Doocy said.
Doocy said the files also included a transcript of a conversation from the Apollo 17 mission, described by astronaut Ron Evans as “jagged angular fragments” outside the capsule’s window that “looks like the 4th of July.”
