Mysterious videos of darting black objects, renderings of flying ships, and eyewitness reports of unexplained lights are among the previously unseen files released by the Department of Defense, and President Donald Trump said some are “related to Alien and Extraterrestrial Life.”

The files published online Friday of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs), previously known as UFOs, are to be released on a rolling basis “in the interest of total transparency,” the Pentagon said.

The release allows the general public to “make up their own minds about the information contained in these files,” the Pentagon said.

The files include government documents dating back to the 1940s, images taken from moon landings, astronaut transcripts, copies of eyewitness reports and news clips, as well as video and renderings of unexplained moving objects. Most of the files are dated before this year, though one video showing unidentified aircraft flying in an undisclosed location was listed as taken in January.

The US military said on Tuesday it had struck a vessel in the eastern Pacific, killing three people, in the latest such attack that rights groups label as “extrajudicial killings” and Washington describes as targeting “narco-terrorists”.

US Southern Command posted about the strike on social media Tuesday evening, alleging that the vessel struck on Tuesday was operated by “Designated Terrorist Organizations” that it did not identify.

No US military forces were harmed, Southern Command said. It described those killed as “male narco-terrorists”, without offering details or evidence.

“Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations,” the post read.

Two U.S. service members are missing in southwestern Morocco after taking part in annual multinational military exercises in the North African country, the United States Africa Command (AFRICOM) said Sunday.

The service members are U.S. Army soldiers who went missing while on a hike, a U.S. defense official told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity as they were not allowed to speak publicly about the issue.

“They were not actively taking part in any training. The day’s exercises had concluded, and, from our understanding, they were out on a recreational hike,” the official said.

AFRICOM said the U.S., Morocco and other countries participating in the African Lion exercise have launched a search and rescue operation.

Pentagon officials have decided to withdraw 5,000 U.S. troops from Germany, a major logistical hub for American troop movements around the world, including the Middle East.

The move comes in response to "theater requirements and conditions on the ground," Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said in a statement.

But the drawdown announcement lands amid the White House’s growing rift with European allies and Germany in particular. The country’s chancellor, Friedrich Merz, earlier this week said Iran had "humiliated" the United States over the course of the war. After the remarks, President Donald Trump on April 29 said in a statement that the United States was studying a "reduction of Troops in Germany."

"The Secretary of War has ordered the withdrawal of approximately 5,000 troops from Germany," said Parnell, referring to Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth. "This decision follows a thorough review of the Department’s force posture in Europe and is in recognition of theater requirements and condithttps://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2026/05/01/us-will-withdraw-5k-troops-from-germany-pentagon-says/89901145007/ions on the ground."

Parnell said the withdrawal will happen over the course of six to 12 months.

A new doctrine could soon take hold in part of the US war on drugs: psychedelic drugs for active-duty soldiers suffering from PTSD.

In two studies funded by the Department of Defense (DoD), 186 service personnel with PTSD will likely next year undergo multiple sessions of MDMA-assisted therapy.

The deputy under secretary of war for personnel and readiness, Sean O’Keefe, is following the research closely, a January letter shows, and a new group of DoD and Veterans Affairs (VA) department therapists are to begin training in psychedelic-assisted therapy next week ahead of soldier enrollment.

It is hoped guided sessions with the euphoria-inducing drug could, perhaps counterintuitively, help soldiers fight for their country for longer – and that once they leave the military they will not be crippled by traumatic stress.

The world’s largest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R Ford, will be heading home following a record-setting deployment of more than 300 days that included participating in the war against Iran and capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, two US officials said Wednesday.

The Ford will be leaving the Middle East in the coming days and returning to its home port in Virginia in mid-May, according to the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to detail sensitive military movements. The Washington Post reported the development earlier.

The arrival of the USS George HW Bush to the region last week meant three American aircraft carriers were deployed to the Middle East – a number not seen since 2003 – during a tenuous ceasefire in the Iran war. The USS Abraham Lincoln also has been in the region since January as tensions with Tehran ramped up.

This month, the Ford broke the US record for the longest post Vietnam-war deployment, a nearly 10-month span after leaving Naval Station Norfolk in June.
