What was released in the first batch of UFO files?
162 records, 28 unresolved UAP videos, material from NASA, the FBI, the State Department and the Department of War covering cases from 1944 all the way to 2026. But a couple of days on from the release of the first batch of UFO files, the real question is not just what was released. It's what wasn't. Ross Coulthart, Lou Elizondo and others are already saying the best material is still being held back. Tim Burchett says the holy cow stuff is still to come. Liberation Times is reporting concerns about who controls the release process behind the scenes. And while some people are calling this a historic first step, others are saying it's underwhelming, managed or even a distraction from Epstein.
What are the concerns about the control of UFO file releases?
So today we're asking, was this the beginning of real UFO disclosure or just the start of a much bigger fight over what the public is actually allowed to see?
Hi everyone and welcome back to That UFO Podcast. As always, my name is Andy and it's now been a couple of days since the Department of War released the initial batch of files on UFOs UAP and it certainly made the news, including here in the UK. But what's the reaction been? Positive, negative or somewhere in between? Like I said at the top of the show, in total 162 records released in this first batch and that's important. These are supposedly going to be every few weeks it looks like with the next batch coming around the 22nd of May roughly. These are made up of records from NASA, the FBI, the State Department, the DOW and others running from the 40s through to modern day and Congressman Tim Burchett in reply to a user on X was asked how good these files were on a scale and he said the holy cow stuff was still to come.
How did notable figures react to the UFO file release?
It was stated online the site itself had over half a billion, 500 million hits in the first day it was online. There is a huge public interest in this topic, which I'm sure many of you are going to be so glad to hear. And I've got to mention that there were folks across a lot of platforms online, across various media outlets from the general public, largely discussing how this is just a reaction from the Epstein files. Do you agree with that? I'd love to know in your comments below or get in touch with me because that's an interesting one. Here are some statements though to kick off from some notable folks because a lot of news to touch on, very much all of it related in this show. And then an interview is also tagged on the end for you, but we'll get to that.
Let's read some statements from the 8th of May. Luis Elizondo, former head of ATIP. said this is a historic day with the president's mandate coming to fruition and a historic moment for humans and a paradigm shift for humanity a huge thank you to the president for championing this effort a big congratulations to the task force on the declassification of federal secrets and a salute to the department of war NASA ODNI and the FBI on this whole of government approach to greater transparency and disclosure Similar thoughts came across from various other folks, including pilot Ryan Graves. I bought Ryan a drink at the Sol meeting back in October. Really nice guy, got to sit and chat to him for a good hour on the couch.
He said, today's DOW UAP release is a meaningful step toward transparency. He goes on to thank Anna Polina Luna, Tim Burchett, Eric Burleson, Jared Moskowitz and the many others behind the scenes for your steadfast efforts to advance accountability, aircrew safety and the public's right to know.
What unresolved questions remain about UAP videos?
I'm excited to see what more comes. Tom DeLonge made some comments and I'm going to play you the clip in just a second. He reacted with real optimism on his Instagram saying the files drop shows the government is now formally investigating and releasing UAP material. And while he doesn't expect perfect answers overnight, he does see this as the kind of process which could lead to much bigger truths over time. I'm going to play you that clip for you right now. Here's Tom DeLonge.
We just had a big drop of a bunch of government documents on unidentified aerial phenomena today.
