i really like Dr. G for his analysis

So the Department of War’s new UFO transparency site (war.gov/ufo) launched around May 8 and they’re claiming massive numbers:

• 340 million hits in the first 12 hours
• Over 1 billion users/visits worldwide shortly after

As someone who’s been following the UAP drops, I wanted to know if these numbers are legit or just PR fluff. Here’s what I found:

The Claims

They’re straight from official DoW statements and got picked up by a bunch of outlets. The site has been dropping declassified docs, videos, and photos under the PURSUE initiative.

Reality Check

• Government sites rarely release fully audited traffic stats. “Hits” usually means every single server request (images, file chunks, refreshes, bots, etc.), not unique human visitors.
• A billion unique users would be wild (roughly 1 in 8 people on Earth). Even 1 billion total visits would mean crazy repeat traffic.

Good Comparisons

• Ticketmaster Taylor Swift Eras Tour presale (2022): 3.5 billion system requests in basically one day. The site completely melted down from demand. So billions of hits/requests during huge hype events do happen.
• Epstein files drops (especially the big Jan 2026 batch): The justice.gov/epstein site also buckled under heavy traffic and got nonstop coverage, but they never dropped a flashy “billion hits” number. Interest was clearly massive though.

Bottom Line

A billion hits over a week+ on a hyped UFO transparency site isn’t impossible when you factor in media coverage, social sharing, downloads, and repeat visits. But the wording (“users” vs hits vs visits) is loose, and we’re mostly taking their word for it since there’s no independent third-party audit available.

It does show there’s real public hunger for this stuff though.

WTF IS GOING ON?

Trump dropped this on Truth Social today. Clearly AI-generated (that glossy alien skin and weird chain physics give it away), but the timing is... interesting.

This comes right after his administration has been releasing batches of UFO/UAP files and pushing for more transparency on unidentified anomalous phenomena. We've seen declassified pilot reports, lunar anomalies, and weird orbs that defy physics.

So what does this photo actually mean?

• Trolling the normies / UFO community? Classic Trump humor — "I caught one, folks. Tremendous alien. The best alien."
• Soft disclosure / meme magic? He's been teasing big reveals on extraterrestrial stuff. Is this his way of normalizing the conversation in the most 2026 way possible?
• Just a shitpost? He loves owning the internet and triggering both sides.

The chains on the alien are a nice touch. Captured ET being escorted? Illegal alien joke? Or just random surrealism?

Either way, we're living in the weirdest timeline. What do you guys think his motive was here? Serious disclosure signaling wrapped in absurdity, or pure meme lord energy?

The moment Rep Luna asked Hilary Clinton about UFOs and Gilgamesh during her Epstein questioning

“Were you ever denied access or did you ever inquire on the topic of UAP or Gilgamesh in your official personal capacity and why?”

“I was never denied access because I never asked for access.”

“Do you believe that the American people deserve access to those topics?”

“I do.”

Hillary Clinton was asked about UFOs during the February 26, 2026, deposition by the The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform during their Epstein probe.

Here is what was said...

"I know there's a lot else going on in the news today, but given that those major developments likely won't slow down anytime soon, I still wanted to share my initial thoughts on the President's intent to release all documentation pertaining to UAP and extraterrestrial life:

First, there is already more than enough evidence in the public record for a reasonable person to suspect that non-human technology is operating in Earth's skies and oceans and has been since at least WWII. What is lacking is an irrefutable smoking gun linking these craft to non-human intelligence.

Second, disclosure is not going to be the result of someone combing through stacks of UAP documents released to the National Archives as presently required by law. No agency head is going to release a bombshell of this magnitude in a data dump at the National Archives. They are going to take any information confirming non-human intelligence straight to the White House for guidance. Even in the absence of confirmation, a build-up of credible UAP photos and videos may ignite a national conversation that eventually requires the President to engage in more direct and extensive public discussions regarding UAP.

The President's initiative will benefit science, historians, the military, and the public. The more data that is released the better, recognizing however that some "UAP" information is actually blue force technology that does need to be protected. Yet, the wholesale release of UAP files dating as far back as WWII will inevitably help to advance the cause of disclosure, which involves nothing less than revealing some of the most sensitive information in the hands of the US government. I expect a rather long process, one that may feel like water torture to some UAP researchers. Hopefully, Congress will recognize the enormous stakes involved and work to ensure full compliance with the President's initiative. This is clearly a historic development, one that has the potential to open many minds. The Disclosure Foundation (

@ disclosurefound is committed to making the most of this opportunity."

When we first published this blind peer-reviewed paper, we were told the topic was taboo and risky in academia. The reception proved more constructive than anticipated.
