The federal government has launched aliens.gov, a centralized public portal for information related to unidentified anomalous phenomena and the government’s investigation of potential non-human intelligence.
The portal, which went live on April 1, 2026, consolidates previously scattered UAP information from AARO, NASA, the intelligence community, and congressional records into a single searchable interface.
What the Portal Contains
The aliens.gov portal provides public access to several categories of information. Declassified UAP reports dating back to Project Blue Book are searchable by date, location, and type of encounter. AARO’s annual reports and interim findings are hosted in full. A public submission mechanism allows civilians to report UAP sightings to a government database for the first time.
The portal also includes a timeline of U.S. government UAP-related actions, from the 1947 establishment of Project Sign through the present day.
What It Does Not Contain
Notably absent from the portal are any of the classified UAP videos that have been the subject of congressional requests. The portal includes a disclaimer noting that classified material is excluded and that interested parties should consult the relevant congressional oversight committees for information about classified programs.
Public Response
The portal received over two million visits in its first 24 hours, with traffic overwhelming the site’s servers and causing intermittent outages. The General Services Administration, which hosts the site, deployed additional capacity within hours.
Significance
The launch of a .gov domain specifically dedicated to UAP information represents a symbolic and practical shift in how the U.S. government communicates with the public about anomalous phenomena. The use of the word “aliens” in the domain name — rather than the clinical “UAP” or “anomalous phenomena” — uses terminology aligned with common public usage rather than technical government designations.
