UFO Disclosure Explained: Complete Timeline of Government Secrets, Whistleblowers, and Revelations

What Is UFO Disclosure?

UFO disclosure refers to the gradual release of classified or hidden information about unidentified flying objects (UFOs), now called Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs), and potential alien contact by governments, military agencies, and intelligence organizations.

For decades, officials have denied UFOs were real. Today, they openly admit unknown objects are entering restricted airspace and outperforming our known technology, a monumental shift in history.

This is the complete UFO disclosure timeline, from the first public sightings to modern congressional hearings.

1940s–1950s: The Beginning of the UFO Era

Did an Alien Spacecraft crash near Roswell, New Mexico in 1947?

1947 – The Roswell Incident

• A mysterious crash near Roswell, New Mexico sparks global headlines.

• The United States military initially reports a “flying disc,” then retracts it as a weather balloon. This is suspicious.

• This becomes the first major UFO cover up controversy.
  

1947 – Kenneth Arnold Sighting

• Pilot Kenneth Arnold reports nine disc shaped objects flying at extreme speed.

• The term “flying saucer” is coined.

Project Blue Book (1952–1969)

• United States Air Force investigates 12,618 UFO reports.

• Over 700 cases remain “unidentified,” with NO explanation.

• The final report claims UFOs pose no threat. However, many believe this was a public disinformation campaign.
  

1960s: Global UFO Sightings Surge

• Mass sightings occur in Australia, Brazil, and Europe.

• Governments worldwide quietly investigate UFOs.
  

1970s–1990s: The UFO Cover-Up Era

1977 – CIA Stargate and Remote Viewing

• Classified psychic research programs fuel speculation of alien contact research.
  

1980s – Area 51 and Black Projects

• Stealth aircraft and classified aerospace projects intensify UFO rumors.

• Whistleblowers claim reverse engineered alien technology exists.
  

1997 – Phoenix Lights

• Thousands witness a massive unknown triangular craft over Arizona.

• Officials claim it was flares, but eyewitnesses strongly disagree.
  

2000s–2010s: Leaks, Wikileaks, and Secret Programs Revealed

2007–2012 – AATIP (Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program)

• A Secret Pentagon program studies UAP encounters.

• Confirmed by the United States government in 2017.
  

2017 – New York Times Pentagon UFO Videos

• “FLIR,” “GOFAST,” and “GIMBAL” videos are released as UFO evidence.

• United States Navy confirms the UFO footage is real and unexplained. What are we to make of this footage?
  

This marks the modern beginning of official UFO disclosure.

2020–2024: Government Disclosure Goes Public

2020 – United States Navy Changes UFO Reporting Policy

• Pilots are encouraged to now report UAP sightings without stigma.
  

2021 – Pentagon UAP Report

• Office of the Director of National Intelligence releases a report confirming 144 UAP encounters, most unexplained. Could these unexplained encounters be alien?
  

2022 – AARO Established

• The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) is created to investigate UAPs across air, sea, space, and cyberspace.
  

2023 – Congressional UFO Hearings

• Whistleblowers testify under oath about crash retrieval programs and non human intelligence to the United States Congress.

• This is the first time the United States Congress openly discusses possible alien technology.

Global UFO Disclosure (Outside the United States)

Brazil

• Releases thousands of classified UFO documents.

• Military confirms multiple UFO encounters with unknown craft.
  

United Kingdom

• Ministry of Defence releases UFO files through the National Archives.
  

France

• GEIPAN, a government UFO investigation agency, publishes public UFO case files.
  

China & Russia

• Acknowledge unknown aerial phenomena exist, although details remain classified.

Whistleblowers and Leaked UFO Evidence

Key UFO Whistleblowers

• David Grusch – Alleged crash retrieval programs and non human technology exist

• Bob Lazar – Claimed he worked on alien propulsion at Area 51

• Luis Elizondo – Former Pentagon official advocating disclosure
  

These whistleblowers claim governments have known about alien technology for decades.

2025–Present: The New Era of UFO Disclosure

NASA UAP Study Group

• NASA confirms UAPs require serious scientific study, and plans to study them.
  

Private Space Companies

• SpaceX, Blue Origin, and satellite networks contribute new detection capabilities that will help track and identify UFOs.
  

Public Disclosure Momentum

• Media coverage, congressional bills, and whistleblower protections increase.

• Many UFO experts believe full disclosure is inevitable.

Why UFO Disclosure Matters

Scientific Impact

• Confirms non human, or alien, technology or even unknown physics

• Could revolutionize propulsion and energy for planet Earth
  

Political Impact

• Forces global governments to admit decades of UFO secrecy

• Raises global security questions about UFOs
  

Human & Cultural Impact

• Alters religion, philosophy, and identity

• Confirms humanity is not alone in the Universe

Timeline Predictions to Full Disclosure

Year	Potential Disclosure Milestone
2026–2030	More classified UFO files released
2030–2040	Public confirmation of non human or alien intelligence
2040+	Possible first alien contact scenario

(Speculative but widely discussed among researchers.)

Join the UFO Disclosure Movement

At the Exo Solaria Union, we document UFO sightings, analyze alien and UFO cases, and build a global citizen research network.

Members gain access to exclusive research, analysis, and case breakdowns.

The truth is emerging. Be part of the discovery.

In conclusion, there is a growing trend of data that points to UFO disclosure happening around the world. There are a few questions that we need to ask ourselves about UFO disclosure, and answer truthfully.

Is UFO disclosure real?

Yes. Governments now officially acknowledge UAPs, or UFOs, and release related reports.

Has the United States confirmed aliens exist?

No official confirmation yet, but multiple officials now claim non human intelligence evidence exists.

Why did governments hide UFOs?

National security, public panic concerns, and classified technology development are common explanations.
