The Government Just Started Telling the Truth About UFOs

Jason Simpkins

Posted May 26, 2026

For eight decades, the official position of the U.S. government on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) was that they didn’t exist, weren’t worth investigating, and certainly weren’t anyone’s concern outside a handful of fringe researchers.

That position is no longer tenable.

On May 8, the Trump administration released the first official tranche of declassified UAP files through a brand new federal program called PURSUE — the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters.

The initial drop contained 161 files spanning everything from FBI infrared imagery to Apollo 12 and Apollo 17 mission footage, military pilot reports, and decades of previously classified incident data going all the way back to 1944.

This wasn’t a leak. It wasn’t a whistleblower. It wasn’t a Freedom of Information Act request grudgingly fulfilled after years of legal pressure.

This was the United States government, through what is now formally called the Department of War, publicly releasing decades of secret UAP records on a brand new portal at war.gov/UFO and explicitly stating that more batches will continue to drop on a rolling basis.

Then, on May 12, Japan became the first foreign government to officially align with the PURSUE framework — committing to bilateral information-sharing on UAP encounters as part of the new disclosure architecture.

For anyone who’s been following this story for years, this is the moment everything changes.

For investors, it’s something even bigger.

What Disclosure Actually Means

Skeptics will scoff. They always do. Many of the first batch of PURSUE files were heavily redacted, low-resolution, or featured imagery so pixelated as to be uninterpretable.

Critics in the UAP research community quickly pointed out that “data alone is not disclosure” and that the initial release felt more like a public relations exercise than the wholesale unveiling many had hoped for.

But that’s not what matters here.

What matters is that the structure has changed.

For the first time in American history, there is now a formal, ongoing, executive-branch-sanctioned program for the rolling release of UAP-related government records.

It has a website. It has a chain of command. It has the explicit backing of the President, the Secretary of War, and bipartisan congressional pressure from a House Oversight Task Force actively investigating AARO, the Pentagon’s UAP office.

That last piece is critical.

The fiscal year 2026 National Defense Authorization Act, signed into law in December, requires AARO to provide expanded congressional briefings on every UAP intercept conducted in U.S. airspace.

It mandates a new classification matrix for UAP-related programs. And it streamlines the process by which federal agencies must hand over data to the Pentagon’s UAP investigators.

Combine all of this together — PURSUE, the NDAA mandates, the Luna Task Force, the Japan agreement — and you have what amounts to the dismantling of an 80-year information firewall.

The official narrative is shifting from “nothing to see here” to “we’ll show you what we have, in stages.”

And once the dam breaks on UAP disclosure, it breaks on something else with it.

The Technology Question

Here’s what most investors are missing in all of this.

Strip away the headline-bait language about “aliens” and “extraterrestrials” for a moment, and focus on what high-level government insiders have actually said under oath about UAP.

In congressional testimony, former defense intelligence official Luis Elizondo stated that the United States is “in possession of UAP technologies” and that the country has been engaged in “a multi-decade, secretive arms race — one funded by misallocated taxpayer dollars and hidden from our elected representatives and oversight bodies.”

Retired Air Force Major David Grusch — who served on the Pentagon’s UAP task force — testified that the U.S. government has run secret programs to recover and reverse-engineer aerospace technology of unknown origin.

These claims have not been formally confirmed, and AARO has consistently stated it has found no verifiable evidence of extraterrestrial activity. But the fact that sworn congressional testimony at this level is occurring at all — combined with the Trump administration’s pivot to active disclosure — points to something investors should be paying very close attention to.

Whether the source is non-human intelligence, a foreign adversary, or a deeply classified American black program, the testimony before Congress is unanimous on one point. Aerospace technology that exists today is decades ahead of anything in the public record.

It can accelerate without inertia. It can hover and execute angular maneuvers that conventional physics says are impossible. It operates seamlessly between atmosphere and space.

That technology is real. It has been observed by trained military pilots using the most advanced sensor systems on Earth. And the U.S. government has been quietly developing — or reverse-engineering — its own version of it for decades, in classified programs hidden from Congress and the public.

The PURSUE disclosure framework is the first step toward bringing that work into the open.

When it finally does come into the open, every legacy aerospace and defense company on the planet is going to be racing to incorporate the underlying principles into their own product lines.

The companies that get there first — and especially the smaller, more nimble defense contractors that have already been quietly working on advanced propulsion concepts in the shadows — are about to become some of the most valuable businesses in the world.

That’s the real investment story buried inside this UAP disclosure cycle.

It’s not about whether little green men are real.

It’s about who’s positioned to commercialize the technology the government has been hiding.

I’ve been digging into this question for several years, and I’ve identified a company I believe is best positioned to benefit when the disclosure cycle accelerates and the underlying anti-gravity technology starts entering the public domain.

It’s not a household name. Most investors have never heard of it. But it sits at the intersection of advanced aerospace, classified defense work, and the kind of breakthrough propulsion technology that PURSUE is now slowly bringing into public view.

I’ve put everything I know about it into a brand new research report. You can get the full details right here.

The government just told the world that what’s been hidden in plain sight for eight decades is finally on its way out.

The investors who get ahead of what comes next are the ones who’ll make their fortunes from it.

Fight on,
