FBI informant ‘feared for her life’ after UFO sightings

The Trump administration released long-awaited UFO files to the public on Friday, detailing several hundred unseen photographs and videos of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP). 

The initial release saw 162 files unsealed, including State Department cables, FBI documents and transcripts of NASA flights into space. 

Among the trove of the first batch of declassified documents, uploaded to the Department of Defense’s website, was an FBI memo that detailed how an anonymous young female came forward to the agency about her experiences with UFOs in October of 1967. 

She stated that she feared for her life it if became known that she had contacted officials as ‘persons who saw UFOs have died mysteriously in the past.’ 

The informant offered information shared with her from a ‘being from another planet who had assumed earthly form’ and that she wanted to verify it with officials.

Donald Trump celebrated the release of the files in a Truth Social post, saying that he ordered the release of information tied to ‘alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs).’ ‘GOD BLESS AMERICA!’ the President added.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said that the administration was committed to bringing ‘unprecedented transparency’ to the government’s understanding of UAPs.

Anonymous FBI informant feared for her life after contacting officials about UFOs

An anonymous female FBI informant said she feared for her life in 1967 after coming forward to the agency about her experiences with UFOs.

She claimed that ‘persons who saw UFOs have died mysteriously in the past,’ and that if Air Force officials wanted to contact her, she could be reached by a number provided to FBI agents. She said at the time that she would only meet officials at the Dallas agency headquarters.

The anonymous ‘young white female’ said she met a being from another planet in the same year ‘who had assumed earthly form. He allegedly ‘gave her certain information, then was picked up and departed from earth.’

The otherworldly person told her an antimissile missile was fired at a UFO over Africa on May 22, 1962, but that the UFO was protected by it’s ‘force field.’

She was also told that a UFO was detected over the ‘Dewline’ and was shot down, and beings from outer space were trying to recover it.

WATCH: Most compelling video ‘evidence’ in declassified UFO files

Trump’s UFO files show mysterious flying objects spotted by Apollo astronauts while on the surface of the MOON

The long-awaited UFO files were released Friday morning, revealing stunning eyewitness encounters with unexplainable phenomena during the Apollo moon missions.

The US Department of War released hundreds of pages of documents, pictures and audio recordings allegedly providing evidence of extraterrestrial sightings dating back to the 1940s.

Included in what has been described as the first batch of UFO files expected to come from the Pentagon this year were the transcripts of the Apollo 12 and Apollo 17 moon missions.

Those files and a collection of images taken by the astronauts on the moon revealed multiple encounters with strange objects that appear to fly around their lunar landers.

FBI informant says he observed a ‘cigar-shaped’ object over the Great Lakes

In an FBI memo released by the Department of War, an unidentified FBI informant claimed that he saw a ‘cigar-shaped’ object on July 1, 1950.

It was five feet in appearance and traveled from a northwestern to southeastern direction ‘at an excessive rate’ over the Great Lakes Naval Training Center in Illinois.

The informant advised that the object ‘did not appear like any falling star or meteor he had ever seen’ and that it proceeded in a straight and level flight.

He claimed that the front two-thirds of the object was constantly glowing with coloring similar to that of a burning kerosene lamp, and that it left a bluish-white trail behind it. There were no wings or other type of support on the craft that were visible to him.

He added that the unidentified craft, which traveled much faster than any type of conventional aircraft, had no discernible sound.

The memo noted that: ‘This informant has furnished reliable information to the Chicago Division in the past, is of average intelligence, and considered of good character and reputation.’

Joe Rogan warned UFO files are a distraction one day before release

Joe Rogan warned that Trump administration may release the UFO files as a distraction one day before they were published.

‘What doesn’t totally make sense is why now, I mean this is being cynical, the Iran war is not going very well,’ Rogan told Tennessee Representative Burchett on Thursday.

‘The American public’s very upset. A lot of people don’t think we should have ever been involved in that in the first place. And we need some good news.

‘We need something to distract us. We need something to take our focus off…’

Burchett chimed in, ‘If I was gonna do it, now would be the time I’d do it.’

FBI received tip about alleged Nazi UFO

A FBI document released in the cache alleged that a man name Paul Peyerl claimed he was a member of the German Air Force in 1944 and alleged that the Nazi’s built a UFO.

‘During this period he observed the aircraft described above. It was saucer shaped, about twenty-one feet in diameter, radio controlled, and mounted several jet engines around the exterior portion of the craft,’ the document stated.

‘He further described the exterior portion as revolving around the dome in the center which remained stationary. It was PEYERL’s responsibility to photograph the object while in flight. He asserted he was able to retain a negative of a photograph he made at 7,000 meters (20,000 feet).

‘A Xerox copy of the negative, as furnished by PEYERL, appears on the last page of this communication. Also, a still photograph he allegedly made “at the risk of my life”, illustrating the object parked in a hanger, appears on the last page.’

The document went on to say, ‘According to PEYERL, the above aircraft was designed and engineered by (First Name Unknown) KUEHR, a German engineer whose present whereabouts is unknown to him.

‘He assumed KUEHR was taken into custody by Allied Forces upon the termination of hostilities. PEYERL stated KUEHR unsuccessfully attempted to avoid the German draft, but was apprehended by the Gestapo.’

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman praises UFO files release

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman commended Donald Trump for the Pentagon’s release of the UFO files.

‘I applaud President Trump’s whole-of-government effort to bring greater transparency to the American people on unidentified anomalous phenomena,’ he wrote on X.

‘At NASA, our job is to bring the brightest minds and most advanced scientific instruments to bear, follow the data, and share what we learn. We will remain candid about what we know to be true, what we have yet to understand, and all that remains to be discovered.

‘Exploration and the pursuit of knowledge are core to NASA’s mission as we endeavor to unlock the secrets of the universe.’

‘Football-shaped’ object spotted by US Indo-Pacific Command

The United States Indo-Pacific Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon from an infrared sensor aboard a military platform in 2024.

The sensor focuses on an area of contrast that resembles a football-shaped body with three radial projections: one oriented vertically, and two oriented downward at a 45-degree angle relative to the major axis of the main mass.

Trump encourages Americans to ‘have fun and enjoy’ after UFO files release

Trump posted on Truth Social on Friday after the Department of War released the first batch of UFO files to the public.

‘As for my promise to you, the Department of War has released the first tranche of the UFO/UAP files to the Public for their review and study,’ the president began.

‘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.’

‘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! President DONALD J. TRUMP,’ he concluded.

Gemini 7 astronaut describes encounter with ‘brilliant body’

The UFO files trove released Friday saw a 1965 Gemini 7 space mission transcript describing an astronaut’s encounter with a ‘brilliant body’ containing ‘trillions of particles.’

In a conversation between astronaut Frank Borman and the Manned Flight Center in Houston, Texas, Borman says that he had spotted ‘hundreds of particles going by to the left out about three or four miles’ outside of the space craft.

He then clarified that the object he saw was ‘a brilliant body in the sun against a black background with trillions of particles on it.’

The Gemini 7 was the 12th manned spaceflight by the United States with Borman and astronaut James ‘Jim’ Lovell aboard.
