The U.S. government UFO website receives 340 million visits within 12 hours of launch

BlockBeats News, May 9 — U.S. Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell announced that the U.S. Department of Defense has celebrated the launch of the official UAP/UFO document disclosure platform, marking an important milestone in government transparency. Within just 12 hours of going live, the website received 340 million visits, including American citizens and individuals worldwide seeking the truth and hoping to access unfiltered information about unidentified aerial phenomena. Trump has satisfied the public’s demand for transparency.

The Trump administration published a total of 162 documents through the new website war.gov/UFO, including 14 images, 28 video clips, and 120 documents, spanning from 1947 to 2025. After the website went live, netizens discussed many of the images. But the most critical question may not be “what was released,” but “why was it released at this particular time.” This is undoubtedly a carefully planned political move by Trump, essentially using “Disclosure as a Service” to standardize attention management, similar to the Epstein files released in December 2025, employing an independent website, rolling updates, no official conclusions, and welcoming civilian analysis. The goal is to divert public attention, build a narrative of “transparent American government” to pave the way for midterm elections, and mitigate negative attention from the Iran war and Epstein files. Additionally, there are UFO-related markets on Polymarket, possibly serving as pathways for potential insider trading. For details, see BlockBeats’ report “Why is the U.S. releasing UFO files at this particular time?”

According to PolyBeats monitoring, on the prediction market Polymarket, after the Trump administration announced the UFO website yesterday, the probability of “the U.S. confirming the existence of aliens before 2027” once rose above 20%.
