The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is set to release the first batch of files on UFOs and extraterrestrials in a few days.
Documents on potential UFO encounters have been sent to the interagency committee convened by the White House for review and will be made public “in the near future.”
In an interview with the Sean Hannity Podcast, FBI Director Kash Patel said, “We’ve already provided our first tranche of information to this committee and they’re going to make that information public very soon. We’re all for it. There’s nothing about this topic that we’re talking about that we don’t want to release.”
He added that since the War Department, under Secretary Pete Hegseth, oversaw the release of the files, the FBI had turned over the documents to the appropriate team at the Pentagon.
Patel said he had no information on whether the U.S. government had ever recovered suspected alien bodies from fallen UFOs, adding: “Documents sought by the public, we have given to the appropriate authorities and they are on their way out.”
US President Donald Trump has ordered government agencies to declassify the files by February 2026.
In an article in Truth Social, President Trump said: “Based on the overwhelming interest, I will direct the Secretary of War and other relevant departments and agencies to begin the process of identifying and releasing government records related to extraterrestrial life. »
