A newly unveiled website that’s now home to scores of previously classified UFO files was bombarded with well over 340 million hits in its first few hours, Pentagon officials said.
The digital archive, which includes hundreds of documents, photos and videos of “unidentified anomalous phenomena,” was made public by the Department of War on Friday.
In its first 12 hours, the site had already racked up millions of visits.
“In just 12 hours, the site has received 340 MILLION hits from Americans and truth seekers worldwide seeking unfiltered UAP information,” Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said on X.
“This overwhelming response underscores the Trump administration’s strong commitment to openness. President Trump has delivered on the public’s demand for the truth.”
President Trump, who had been teasing the document dump for months, had encouraged curious Americans on Friday to “have fun” trawling the retro-styled site.
“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!” he said in a Truth Social post.
The Trump administration has said the public can draw its own conclusions with the information in the files, which includes old State Department cables, FBI documents and transcripts from NASA of crewed flights into space.
The first batch also included a trove of videos, imagery and testimony regarding alleged sightings dating back decades.
