Notably, this was said to be one of several such releases and now, according to chief Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell, the next batch is currently being 'actively processed' for release as well.

The news comes after President Trump published a series of bizarre posts on his Truth Social account, one showing himself walking next to a kidnapped alien in handcuffs and another showing him pressing buttons in some sort of weaponized orbital platform.

The AI-generated images were believed to be connected to the UFO files, though at the time it wasn't clear exactly what message Trump was trying to convey.The first batch of files, which have been sourced from multiple government agencies, are primarily in the format of .PDF files and can be browsed and downloaded at https://www.war.gov/UFO/.

This is also where the subsequent batches of files will be published once they become available.

"The American people can now access the federal government's declassified UAP files instantly," the Pentagon wrote earlier this month.

"The latest UAP videos, photos, and original source documents from across the entire United States government are all in one place - no clearance required."
