Hello, friends! Welcome to this week's edition of the UFO? UAP? WTF? newsletter. Catch up on the recent UFO-related headlines, research, events, and other content that you might find interesting.

A new batch of UFO-related documents has been released by the United States Government. Stories related to this release will spawn headlines around the world, as they always do. Although these headlines love to hype government UFO file releases as some sort of major historical event, revealing long-held secrets, this is never the case. The U.S. government and governments around the world have released countless UFO-related files over the years. Some UFO files contain interesting stories, odd-looking imagery, and information presented out of context, providing plenty of fodder for speculation. But, overall, government UFO files tend to be pretty boring. So manage your expectations.
