It’s disclosure day.
The White House will begin releasing the long-awaited UFO files on Friday — months after President Trump ordered top administration officials to get the ball rolling on the out-of-this-world intel, The Post has learned.The timeframe was disclosed during a West Wing meeting on Thursday attended by Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.), a member of the House Oversight Committee’s task force on the declassification of federal secrets.
“It’s going to start tomorrow. It’s going to have some stuff in there from pilots, and maybe one video,” Burchett told independent journalist Jeremy Corbell in a conversation shared with The Post.
“Pilot materials” could refer to encounters that American military aviators had with UFOs while on active duty, according to sources.
The first release will not include the 46 UFO videos that Congress has demanded the Department of War release to the public. Read more here.
“Three World Class American Destroyers just transited, very successfully, out of the Strait of Hormuz, under fire,” he posted to Truth Social. “There was no damage done to the three Destroyers.”
The president poetically described the event as an overwhelming loss for the “Iranian attackers,” who he said were “completely destroyed along with numerous small boats, which are being used to take the place of their fully decapitated Navy.”
“These boats went to the bottom of the Sea, quickly and efficiently. Missiles were shot at our Destroyers, and were easily knocked down,” he said. “Likewise, drones came, and were incinerated while in the air. They dropped ever so beautifully down to the Ocean, very much like a butterfly dropping to its grave!” Read more, see photos and video here.
