Introduction

The Trump government is now showing the public many secret files, photos, and videos of strange objects in the sky.

Main Body

The government put 162 files on a new website. These files come from the army, the FBI, and NASA. They removed some names to keep people safe, but they kept the stories about the objects. Some files are very old. One report from 1966 talks about metal ships and small people in space suits. Other files talk about secret Nazi ships from 1944. There are also new videos. One video shows a football-shaped object near Japan. Another shows a diamond-shaped object over Greece. NASA also shared photos of bright lights on the moon. The army and the FBI say these are just stories from people. They do not say for sure that aliens exist. They want the public to see the data and decide for themselves.

Conclusion

The government shared these first files and will share more files soon.
