About This Podcast
Declassified UFO and UAP records, explained document by document.
The UFO Files is a fact-first investigative podcast built on the 2026 Department of War UFO/UAP release and the official records behind it — Pentagon mission reports, FBI files, National Archives incident summaries, NASA mission transcripts, and State Department cables.
Each episode takes one file, or one cluster of files, and asks the only questions that matter: What does this record actually show? What does it leave unresolved? And what would it take to call it conclusive?
Two hosts walk you through the evidence — one narrates the document, the other presses on what it proves and what it doesn't — keeping documented fact, official interpretation, open questions, and speculation clearly separate.
You get the files, the gaps, and the unanswered questions. You decide what the record is strong enough to support.
