The US government has registered alien.gov and aliens.gov as official repositories for declassified UFO and extraterrestrial records, signaling imminent public access to previously classified materials. President Trump has indicated that releases will begin “very, very soon” and expressed “tremendous interest” in the files. But accessing declassified UFO files safely requires more than just visiting a website—you need protection against malware-laden third-party sites and data harvesters that prey on curious researchers.
Key Takeaways
- The US government registered alien.gov and aliens.gov to host newly declassified UFO and UAP records
- Official declassified documents are available now via the National Archives UAP page and the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO)
- Dozens of third-party sites falsely claim leaked alien files but distribute malware or harvest personal data
- Use a VPN, antivirus software, and a privacy-focused browser to protect yourself while accessing government records
- The 2024 National Defense Authorization Act established Record Group 615 to permanently house UAP records and enable rolling public access
Why You Need Protection When Researching UFO Records
The surge in interest around declassified UFO files has created a dangerous landscape. Scammers and malicious actors have flooded the internet with fake “leaked” alien documents designed to infect devices with malware or harvest personal data. Accessing declassified UFO files from unofficial sources is a direct path to compromised security. Even if you trust your instincts, these sites are engineered to look legitimate while serving hidden threats. The safest approach is to stick exclusively to official .gov domains and avoid any third-party download sites, no matter how credible they appear.
Official Sources for Declassified UFO Files
The National Archives maintains a dedicated Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) research page where declassified documents are available now. This is your primary source for authentic government records. The All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) also publishes UAP-related materials. When alien.gov and aliens.gov go live, they will serve as centralized hubs for newly released extraterrestrial-related records. For inquiries about specific documents or to request copies, you can contact the National Archives directly at [email protected].
Beyond these primary sources, the CIA maintains a FOIA collection of UFO-related documents spanning the 1940s through 1990s, available through official request channels. The National Security Agency and the Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration also maintain UFO and UAP resources accessible through government FOIA processes. The National UFO Reporting Center (nuforc.org) offers a non-governmental alternative for public sighting reports, images, and community-submitted data, though it is not an official government archive.
How to Access Declassified UFO Files Securely
Protect yourself with three essential layers: a VPN to encrypt your traffic and hide your browsing from your internet service provider, an antivirus program to block malware, and a privacy-focused browser to minimize tracking. Start by choosing a VPN. NordVPN and ExpressVPN offer strong encryption and user-friendly interfaces, while Mullvad provides maximum anonymity and accepts anonymous cash payments for users who want zero financial traceability. Connect to your VPN first, before opening any browser.
Next, select your browser. Firefox and Brave both offer strict privacy settings out of the box and block third-party trackers by default. For maximum anonymity, use Tor Browser, which routes your connection through volunteer-operated nodes to mask your IP address and location. Install antivirus protection—Bitdefender and Norton 360 are reliable choices—and ensure it runs in the background while you browse.
Once your security stack is in place, launch your VPN, open your chosen browser, and navigate directly to the official National Archives UAP page or the AARO website. When alien.gov and aliens.gov become active, bookmark them and access only those domains for newly released records. Download documents only from these official .gov sources. Do not click links from social media, forums, or unofficial sites claiming to have “leaked” alien files. A moment of caution now prevents months of device recovery later.
Why Official Records Matter More Than Rumors
The 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (Public Law 118-31) established the “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Records Collection” under Record Group 615 at the National Archives. This legal framework mandates that federal agencies transfer UAP records on a rolling basis, making them available to the public through the National Archives Catalog. This is not a one-time release—it is an ongoing process that will continue to surface previously classified materials. Official channels guarantee authenticity and legal standing. Third-party “leaks” offer neither.
Is alien.gov or aliens.gov live yet?
The US government has registered both domains, but neither is confirmed to be fully active at this moment. Check both regularly as Trump’s administration moves forward with releases. When they launch, they will become your primary destination for newly declassified extraterrestrial-related files.
What if I find UFO files on a third-party site?
Do not download them. Third-party sites claiming leaked alien files are designed to distribute malware or harvest personal data. Stick exclusively to .gov domains and official government archives. The authentic documents will be available through legitimate channels.
Can I share declassified UFO files I download?
Some National Archives records are downloadable and republishable with proper attribution. Check the document’s metadata or contact [email protected] to confirm republication rights before sharing. Others may require a formal visit to the archives or payment for official copies.
The imminent release of declassified UFO files represents a historic moment for transparency, but it also creates opportunity for bad actors. Protect yourself by using a VPN, antivirus, and privacy-focused browser, and commit to accessing declassified UFO files only from official .gov sources. The truth about extraterrestrial records is coming—make sure you access it safely.
