The U.S. government's UFO website received 340 million visits in the first 12 hours after launch

BlockBeats News, May 9th - Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell announced that the U.S. Department of Defense celebrated the official launch of the UAP/UFO Document Declassification Platform, a significant milestone in U.S. government transparency. Within just 12 hours of its launch, the website received 340 million visits, including from American citizens and individuals worldwide who are 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 documents 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 most crucial question may not be "what was disclosed," but "why now." Undoubtedly, this was a carefully orchestrated political move by Trump, essentially utilizing "Disclosure as a Service" for standardized attention management, a method identical to the Epstein files in December 2025, using an independent website, ongoing updates, avoiding official conclusions, and welcoming public analysis, among others. The goal is to shift public attention, shape the narrative of a "transparent U.S. government" for the midterm elections, and deflect negative attention from the Iran War and the Epstein files. Additionally, there are UFO-related markets on Polymarket, potentially serving as a cash-out route for insider trading.

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 surged to over 20%.
