BlockBeats News, May 9th - Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell announced that the U.S. Department of Defense celebrated the launch of the official UAP/UFO file disclosure platform, a significant milestone in U.S. government transparency. Within just 12 hours of the launch, the website received 340 million visits, including from the American public and individuals worldwide seeking the truth and unfiltered information on unidentified aerial phenomena. Trump met the public's demand for the truth.

The Trump administration released a total of 162 files through the new website war.gov/UFO, including 14 images, 28 videos, and 120 documents, spanning from 1947 to 2025. After the website went live, netizens discussed many of the images. However, the key question may not be "what was released," but "why at this time." Undoubtedly, this was a well-thought-out political move by Trump, essentially using "Disclosure as a Service" to standardize attention management. The method is exactly the same as the Epstein files in December 2025, using an independent website, rolling updates, avoiding official conclusions, welcoming civilian analysis, and more. The aim is to shift public focus, construct a narrative of a "transparent U.S. government," pave the way for the midterm elections, and deflect negative attention from the Iran war and Epstein files. Additionally, there are UFO-related markets on Polymarket, serving as a potential cash-out route for insider trading. For more information, see the BlockBeats report "Why Did the U.S. Release UFO Files at This Time?"

According to PolyBeats monitoring, following the Trump administration's release of the UFO website yesterday, the probability of "U.S. confirming the existence of aliens by 2027" on the prediction market Polymarket briefly rose above 20%.
