The Department of War is releasing its fifth trove of historical Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena records as part of the Trump admin's effort to be transparent with Americans.

Things get even stranger ... and much more recent ... another document reveals the FBI interviewed an American in 2026 who reported three possible UAP encounters in the western U.S. within just five hours.
A senior Trump admin official tells TMZ ... "President Trump and the administration are not trying to sway anyone\u2019s opinion in one way or the other \u2013 we are providing the public with as much information as possible and allowing people to make up their own minds."
