According to information on the U.S. government's official website, the Trump administration has released UAP-related records through the war.gov/ufo page. U.S. media reports indicate that the Pentagon published the first batch of previously undisclosed UAP/UFO-related documents, images, videos, and reports on May 8, 2026.
The settlement rules for this event are as follows: If the Trump administration declassifies any previously undisclosed documents related to extraterrestrial life and/or Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) before 11:59 PM Eastern Time on the specified date, the corresponding market will be resolved as "Yes." Otherwise, the market will be resolved as "No."
In this market, "Trump administration" includes the Executive Office of the President during President Trump's term, as well as all executive departments, agencies, and their subordinate offices under the jurisdiction of presidential authority, including the Department of Defense and its constituent entities.
Cases where declassification is merely announced but not actually completed within the timeframe specified by the market will not count toward the settlement conditions.
The primary basis for determining whether declassification has occurred is official U.S. government information, but consensus from credible media reports may also be considered as a reference.
