New Trump UFO Documents Prompt Inquiry at Los Alamos

The National Archives recently released a batch of declassified documents that were previously part of former President Donald Trump’s personal collection. Among the files are references to unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) reported at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico during the 1970s and 1980s. The documents, which were made public through a Freedom of Information Act request, include internal memos and correspondence between laboratory officials and the Department of Energy.

According to the memos, laboratory staff noted several sightings of strange lights and objects that appeared to move erratically over the facility’s perimeter. The reports were forwarded to the Department of Energy’s Office of Security, which, in turn, sent the information to the Air Force’s UAP investigative unit. The Air Force’s records, as cited in the released documents, indicate that the sightings were logged but never conclusively explained. No physical evidence, such as radar data or recovered material, has been presented in the public domain.

Researchers at Los Alamos have not commented on the claims, and the laboratory’s public affairs office stated that the institution has no ongoing investigations into the matter. Experts in aerospace and atmospheric science note that many UAP reports can be attributed to conventional aircraft, weather balloons, or atmospheric optical phenomena, especially in a region with frequent military testing.

The release of the Trump‑related files has reignited public interest in the longstanding Los Alamos UFO mystery, a topic that has appeared in previous congressional hearings on UAPs. However, without additional verifiable data, the sightings remain undocumented beyond the historical memos.
