Wall Street Journal

The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), founded in 1889 in the United States, is a civilian for-profit newspaper specializing in business, finance, and investigative journalism. In the context of UAP/UFO research and government programs, WSJ has published significant reports, such as a June 2025 article revealing how the US Pentagon and military officers deliberately fueled UFO rumors for decades to conceal secret weapons programs, including using them as cover stories and even in hazing rituals among personnel. This investigation, based on disclosures from a 2022 Pentagon UAP office, highlighted disinformation campaigns that fostered public and internal paranoia. The report drew criticism from UFO researchers like Ross Coulthart, who called it inadequate and accused gatekeepers of ongoing deception. WSJ remains active, with ongoing coverage of national security and UAP-related disclosures.
