CBP: UAP Documents and Videos Released via FOIA or Proactive Disclosure
A cache of UAP-related materials including 390 pages of documents and multiple video files has emerged from U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The release was brought to public attention by social media user Dr.Disclosure89. The exact circumstances of the disclosure remain uncertain, with possibilities including either a FOIA response or proactive publication by the agency.
Background
In September 2023, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) released a significant collection of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) related materials. The compilation includes approximately 390 pages of documents and eleven video files showing various aerial encounters. The materials became public after X user "Dr.Disclosure89" alerted The Black Vault to their availability on a government server.
The origin and context of this disclosure remain ambiguous. While The Black Vault maintains several pending FOIA requests with CBP, it remains unclear whether this release constitutes a response to one of those requests or represents an independent proactive disclosure initiative by the agency. Attempts by The Black Vault to obtain clarification from CBP were unsuccessful, with no representatives available for comment after navigating the agency's phone system.
The released videos appear to show various UAP incidents, though the resolution is reportedly low. The Black Vault has indicated intentions to request higher resolution versions of both the video footage and document scans. The materials cover multiple incidents labeled as "Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon 1" through "10" in the file names, suggesting a catalog of separate observations recorded by CBP personnel or equipment.
