The Trump administration on Friday launched a new website that will house a collection of new, never-before-seen files about UFOs, according to the Pentagon. (And yes, we re apparently okay with calling them UFOs again, as the URL to the new website is war.gov/ufo.)

In a public announcement by the Defense Department which, under Trump, rebranded as the Department of War the initial set of files housed on the site will include those containing unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) videos, photos, and original source documents from across the entire U.S. government. The materials have been reviewed for security purposes, but many have not yet been analyzed for resolution of any anomalies, the Department s statement read.

The collection will also grow over time as additional files are released on a rolling basis, it noted.
