President Trump's February 2026 directive instructed federal agencies to review and release government records on unidentified anomalous phenomena, unidentified flying objects, and related extraterrestrial matters, establishing the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters. The Department of War executed the first public tranche of declassified documents, videos, and photographs on May 8, 2026, with additional materials scheduled for rolling release every few weeks under coordination with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. This executive action followed prior congressional interest in transparency and positions the administration to meet any near-term declassification deadlines, though the scale of reviewing decades of records introduces procedural timelines that traders monitor for further tranches or official statements.
