Trump declassifies new UFO files by 2026?

Platform comparison

Market context

The Trump administration has already declassified multiple batches of UFO and extraterrestrial life files, with the first tranche released on 8 May 2026 under the PURSUE programme, followed by a second on 12 June and a third later that month, all containing never-before-seen documents, videos, and astronaut transcripts dating back to the 1940s[1][2]. This rolling disclosure process, confirmed by the Pentagon and the Department of War, means the condition for the market—declassifying new, previously unavailable files pertaining to unexplained aerial phenomena or alien life—has already been met multiple times before the settlement window closes[3][5].

Historically, US administrations have rarely declassified UAP files without congressional pressure or public disclosure of Pentagon videos, as seen in the 2017 Pentagon UFO video leak that spurred renewed attention[2]. Yet Trump’s approach differs fundamentally: he ordered federal agencies to identify and release such files in February 2026, initiating the first rolling, government-led transparency campaign on UAPs in history, with officials stating no prior administration has delivered this level of access[1][5]. Given this precedent, the current 0% crowd-implied probability appears misaligned with the real-world event that has already occurred.

Traders should monitor WAR.GOV/UFO for announcements of the fourth tranche or any new files released after the initial disclosures, as the Department of War has committed to releasing materials on a rolling basis[4][5]. Key dependencies include whether future releases contain previously unavailable evidence of extraterrestrial origin or unexplained phenomena, though so far reviews have not concluded UAPs are extraterrestrial[3]. Recent reporting by Fox News’ Peter Doocy confirms the administration views these releases as the start of a series, with more files expected as they are reviewed[1].
