About this Bulletin
UFO Files Live | The Declassified is a real-time tracker for the unfolding story of UAP transparency in the United States. We watch the federal portals, the relevant Congressional committees, the courts, and the journalists who actually read the appendices. When something genuinely new lands, we file. When it's recycled, we say so.
Editorial bias: skeptical, source-driven, allergic to both Pentagon stonewalling and conspiracy speculation.
