The Pentagon has begun releasing UFO or UAP records on a new website, reigniting debate over unidentified “anomalous phenomena.” President Donald Trump has amplified the topic, framing the materials as something the public can interpret for itself. The trove includes decades-old State Department cables, FBI interviews, NASA transcripts and photos, plus more than 20 sensor videos from places including Syria, Japan, Iraq and North America. The Pentagon says many cases remain unresolved, with experts urging caution over misinterpretation.
US Senator Lindsey Graham sharply attacked Pakistan’s role as a broker between the US and Iran, amid reports that Islamabad may have allowed Iranian military aircraft to use its airbases.

The US Pentagon is reportedly using Anthropic’s AI system, codenamed Mythos, to strengthen cybersecurity defenses and address software vulnerabilities. The surprising part: the deployment is reportedly paired with plans to gradually reduce or end reliance on the firm, indicating a short-term partnership meant to solve immediate security gaps before longer-term sourcing changes.
The Pentagon said the US cost of the war with Iran has climbed to nearly $29 billion, up from a $25 billion estimate given at earlier testimony. The updated figure arrives as President Donald Trump faces intensified scrutiny over the conflict’s impact, including concerns about military readiness and the strain on resources.
The Pentagon has released additional UAP files, posting videos, cables, and Apollo related transcripts, as Donald Trump backs the disclosures and invites the public to help determine what is happening. The documents include reports of objects making multiple 90 degree turns at high speed and references to Buzz Aldrin’s observation, though experts urge caution and note uncertainty.
Newly released Pentagon documents say Apollo 17 astronauts observed “Fourth of July”-like lights and drifting particles near the moon, alongside odd sightings from Apollo 11, Apollo 12 and Gemini VII. The reports are fueling renewed fascination with unexplained space phenomena, but the Pentagon stresses there’s no shared conclusion about what caused the anomalies.

The Pentagon has started releasing a trove of UFO-related records, including videos and sworn testimony, amid President Trump’s calls for transparency. The files describe multiple unidentified anomalous phenomena, from objects performing sharp, high-speed maneuvers to unusual lights reportedly seen by astronauts. Officials say the public can review the evidence and reach their own conclusions.
The Defense Department has released a new collection of UFO-related materials on war.gov/ufo, including images, videos, and documents. The move puts a curated archive directly in public view, offering new details and context around previously classified or little-seen sightings. Officials say the content has been made available as part of the government’s transparency push.
President Trump has ordered U.S. agencies to declassify records on UFOs and “alien life,” with the Pentagon and FBI preparing document batches and a new portal, Aliens.gov. Officials are also publishing past AARO video clips showing unexplained aerial phenomena, but experts warn most releases may clarify UAPs rather than confirm extraterrestrial contact.
The Trump administration is reportedly considering a major shift: requiring US government oversight for AI models before they’re released to the public. Citing fallout from an AI-enabled cyberattack, officials are also assessing whether powerful models could support the Pentagon and intelligence agencies—moving from a hands-off stance to tighter control.

The Pentagon confirmed it has signed agreements with eight AI companies, including Google, Microsoft, AWS, Nvidia, OpenAI, Oracle, Reflection, and SpaceX, to deploy their technologies on IL6 and IL7 classified networks. The plan runs through GenAI.mil, now used by 1.3 million personnel, aiming to speed decisions from months to days—while raising alarms over targeting, surveillance, and commander overreliance.
The Pentagon is integrating artificial intelligence into classified computer networks, signing deals with seven major tech companies to supply AI capabilities for military decision-making. The effort is designed to speed up target identification and strengthen logistics, aiming to improve warfighter confidence and reinforce national security as threats evolve.
The Pentagon says a US blockade in the Gulf of Oman and nearby shipping routes has cut into Iran’s oil income, costing nearly $4.8 billion in revenue, according to estimates shared by Axios. US officials argue the move is meant to sustain economic pressure on Tehran, and will remain in place until navigation terms revert to those before February 27.
The Pentagon says it has partnered with seven tech firms, including Google, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, Nvidia, OpenAI, Reflection, and SpaceX, to deploy AI using classified systems for warfighting support. The arrangement requires human oversight, but the move is already facing legal and ethical backlash, with Anthropic suing over how such systems could be used for autonomous weapons and surveillance.

A leaked Pentagon email has reignited tensions over the Falkland Islands, straining US ties with the UK and strengthening Argentina’s push for sovereignty. The internal note reportedly suggested reconsidering US support for British control as leverage over allies, prompting a sharp response from London. The US later downplayed the episode and reiterated neutrality.
The Pentagon has reached agreements with seven leading AI companies to embed advanced models into the Defense Department’s secure networks. The goal is to improve soldiers’ decision-making through faster, better data analysis, marking a shift toward an AI-first military. The rollout also highlights tighter security scrutiny, with Anthropic facing restrictions.
Iran’s foreign minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi accuses the Pentagon of understating war costs, saying the US has already paid $100 billion directly for the conflict. He adds that indirect expenses are far higher, estimating each American household is effectively hit with about $500 per month. The claim escalates Iran US tensions amid ongoing hostilities.
