The Department of Defense has dropped the fourth tranche of highly‑classified Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena reports into the public domain. The assets, released Wednesday, contain more detailed flight logs and high‑resolution imagery than previous sets.

In a statement, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the public had a right to see the evidence: 'These files are the product of years of sophisticated analysis. By publishing them, we reaffirm our commitment to open government and informed debate'.
