Euronews — Trump declassifies 162 UFO files for public to judge the evidence
Pan-European framing of the May 8 2026 pursue launch by euronews reporter Sertac Aktan. The piece leads with a previously-uncategorised FBI document in which paul-peyerl claims the Nazis built a disc-shaped, jet-engine-equipped, remotely-controlled aircraft in Germany’s Black Forest in 1944, designed by a German engineer named “Kuehr.” Aktan describes the pursue portal’s “decidedly retro” black-and-white typewriter-font design and reiterates that the 162-file tranche contains no concrete extraterrestrial evidence. Coverage of the buzz-aldrin Apollo 11 light, a Kazakhstan 90-degree-turn cable, a September 2023 FBI drone-pilot “linear object,” and the apollo-17 triangular-dots photo functions as a baseline for European readers new to the disclosure beat.
Key Claims
- Initial PURSUE tranche = 162 files (120 PDFs, 28 videos, 14 images) from DoD, FBI, NASA, and State, spanning 1948–2026.
- (New to wiki) An FBI document records paul-peyerl describing a disc-shaped Nazi aircraft built in the Black Forest in 1944 — ~6.5 m diameter, remotely controlled, jet engines on a rotating outer section around a stationary central dome.
- Peyerl says he photographed the craft in flight at 7,000 m altitude “at the risk of his own life”; a Xerox of the negative plus a hangar still are appended to the FBI file.
- The aircraft was allegedly designed by a German engineer “Kuehr” (first name unknown), suspected arrested by the Allies post-war.
- fbi explicitly states the file contains “neither recommendations nor conclusions” — Euronews flags this as making the claim unverifiable.
- PURSUE portal design uses retro black-and-white military imagery and typewriter-font statements (Euronews observation).
- donald-trump (Truth Social, May 8 2026): the release lets people “decide for themselves” — first explicit public-judges-evidence framing of the PURSUE rollout.
- apollo-17 triangular-dots photo: Pentagon caption “no consensus about the nature of the anomaly” but preliminary analysis suggests it “could be a physical object.”
- Many documents remain partially redacted to protect identities/locations; “much of the material is largely considered unresolved and unremarkable or has been discussed publicly in the past.”
