The Pentagon released 162 declassified UAP files on May 8 but most of it wasn't actually responsive to the 46 specific files Rep. Anna Paulina Luna originally requested back in March — the OG 46 are still outstanding. If you've seen the filenames in the 46 you've probably noticed they're full of weird military codewords like Hackney, Voodoo, Toxic, and Cranberry — without context they look like total nonsense, but once you know what they mean the files actually make a lot of sense.

A few entries from the decoder:

• Hackney, Voodoo, Toxic — these are rotating mission callsigns. The same unit can be Hackney on one mission and Toxic on another, it's for radio security so adversaries can't pattern-match a single callsign to a single unit.
• Hackney 6 (MQ-9) — the "6" means commanding officer. The thing in parentheses tells you the aircraft type. So "Hackney 6 (MQ-9)" = the unit commander was flying a Reaper drone.
• Voodoo 4X (Cranberry) — Voodoo unit, fourth crew of the day, UAP target codenamed Cranberry. The target callsigns are soft random words (Cranberry, Lavender, Steel, Mint) so on a high-stress radio call there's no chance of someone confusing the unknown object with a friendly aircraft.
• AESIR11 — pilot callsign from Norse mythology. Reportedly the F-16 that fired on the Lake Huron object in February 2023, though that one's community-attributed rather than officially confirmed.
• FLIR vs. IIR — the Tic Tac videos everyone's seen are FLIR. Most of the 46 are IIR, a different sensor type.

There's more in the video and on the site — AFSOC, IR Hot, Remix, HH-11, USCG.

We've been pulling everything into a free index at pentagonufofiles.io. The decoder's there and we'll add the 46 when they drop!

The Pentagon's May 8 declassified UAP file release isn't just paperwork — a meaningful portion is actual sensor footage. Infrared from CENTCOM submissions across 2022-2024 (Iraq, Gulf of Oman, East China Sea), MQ-9 Reaper sensor data from a 2023 mission near Iranian airspace, and NASA / Apollo-era material that had been buried in mission archives for decades.

We built a free index for the full release at pentagonufofiles.io. The official war.gov asset page lists everything but doesn't let you search or filter — it's a pile of scanned PDFs in subfolders. Our index pulls the same documents into one searchable place, organized by year, location, agency, sensor type, and shape, with the original Pentagon-released doc linked on every case page. Nothing rehosted. Nothing reinterpreted. Just made navigable.

A few cases that have been getting attention from people working through it:

• The 2013 "chandelier" infrared. Eight-pointed star-shaped object trails across the frame, vanishes from the sensor, then reappears along the same arc. The IR signature geometry is unusual.
• The 2024 Gulf of Oman teardrop. Object described in the Pentagon doc as "an inverted teardrop with a pole-like structure hanging beneath it," tracked at 163 knots / 24,000 feet.
• The 2023 MQ-9 Reaper case near Iran. Two unidentified fast-movers (320 / 440 mph) in one hour during a long-endurance surveillance run. The mission report notes that Iranian air defenses had already radioed a warning before the U.S. drone acquired the objects — multi-party observation is rare in the broader record.
• Apollo / Skylab phenomena. Older NASA-archive material that had not been previously declassified.

Free, no signup, no ads. We'll keep adding to it as new tranches come out — DoD has indicated more releases are scheduled.

The Pentagon released its first batch of declassified UAP files on May 8, 2026 — 162 files in total, the long-promised drop after Congress requested 46 back in March. DoD ended up putting out 162 instead.

We built a free index for it: pentagonufofiles.io. The official war.gov asset page lists the files but doesn't let you search or filter, and the documents themselves are scanned PDFs in subfolders. So we pulled everything into one place — searchable, filterable by year, location, agency, sensor type, shape — with the original Pentagon-released doc on every case page. It's helped us made sense of the dump of files.

The site has a lot, including the cases that have been getting talked about (the 2013 "chandelier" infrared signature, the 2024 Gulf of Oman teardrop, the MQ-9 Reaper Iran case from 2023). Apollo 17 phenomena are in there too, which a lot of people didn't know existed in the NASA archives.

Free, no signup, no ads. We'll keep adding to it as new tranches come out (DoD has indicated more releases are coming).
