Okay, Chelsea, we got the same choices this time,
except two less, because we found out that one
wasn't a real news article, and then you picked
that other one. Yes. So we got animals. Good,
you're going to tell me. Space, UFOs, pollution.
I'm going to go UFO. Okay. And this comes from
Daily Mail, not my favorite source, but it's
UFOs, so we can use it, because it's always fun.
This is a short article, but it's not the same
kind of shortness. Like with a video or what?
Yeah, there's no video with that. What do you
mean same shortness? It's not the same shortness
as that other one that I deemed too shortness.
Okay. Anyhow, we have from the Daily Mail, written
by Chris Malor, who is the U .S. Assistant Science
Editor, posted February 23rd, 2026 at 5 .10 p
.m. article title mystery as ufo vault with 3
.8 million files is wiped clean hours after trump
demands alien docs released oh i saw this yeah
a massive public archive of declassified u .s
government files vanished just one day after
president trump ordered the release of all ufo
related documents i guess this really is everything
trump says is really the opposite Do you think
that he wiped it so that he can release it and
say this is it? No, he said release it. So they
actually took that to mean, oh, we got to get
rid of everything. In fact, even everything that's
public, we got to get rid of. Okay. Massive public
archives of declassified U .S. government files
vanishes one day after President Trump ordered
the release of all UFO related documents. The
Black Vault run by researcher and ufologist John
Grenwald Jr. had its main server reportedly wiped
clean on february 20th deleting hundreds of gigabytes
worth of files on ufos to classified cia projects
and major conspiracies including the assassination
of jfk granwald shared the news online explaining
that some server directories had their permissions
the safeguards on who can access or edit them
and the file ownership logs changed without explanation
Black Vault has become a go -to resource for
anyone wanting to see exactly what the government
has quietly made public over the last 80 years.
Grinwald has spent three decades organizing information
on hidden programs and little -known incidents
that suggest the US has been involved in top
-secret efforts to recover and take advantage
of alien technology. Troves of declassified files
the public can freely search through on Black
Vault detail military base reports, witness testimonies,
and even CIA directives since the 1940s and 50s,
which have been unsealed without widespread public
knowledge. The research has also publicly revealed
every time a Freedom of Information Act request
was returned by the CIA, FBI, and other government
organizations with little or no response. The
timing of the potential sabotage came just hours
after the president's history -making declaration
ordering the Pentagon to disclose anything related
to aliens and extraterrestrial life, unidentified
aerial phenomena, and unidentified flying objects.
Oh no, there's more to this article. It's just
a lot of things in the way. In a statement released
on X, Grenwald said he did not fully suspect
foul play, but noted that he couldn't rule out
the possibility because of the suspicious information
he had received from the website hosting provider.
Quote, They had no idea what happened, and on
their side, they said it was a deletion, not
corruption." The researcher posted on Saturday.
In simpler terms, someone or something intentionally
removed every single file from Black Vault's
server, deleting all the records released by
the CIA and other groups, without fully shutting
down the site so alarms wouldn't go off right
away. Until recently. The US government has flat
out denied that UFOs or extraterrestrial beings
existed, maintaining for decades that there has
never been any physical evidence recovered that
proves something non -human has ever landed on
Earth. However, Trump's February 19th order came
after he publicly criticized former President
Barack Obama for saying in an interview that
aliens were real. Trump claimed the 44th president
had revealed classified information. Grinwald
has previously filed over 11 ,000 FOIA requests
with the U .S. government to obtain these documents,
including some declassified reports that date
back to the alleged UFO crash landing at Roswell
in 1947. His investigations have also provided
legitimate paper trails detailing how former
administrations and the intelligence community
created secret task force of high -ranking military
and scientific officials to research UFO incidents.
these groups include the majestic 12 which was
allegedly formed under the roswell crash and
worked for over two decades investigating sightings
of alien spacecrafts working with non -human
technology and contacting extraterrestrials luckily
for the black vault greenwald revealed that all
of the more than 3 .8 million files were backed
up in secure locations and the site was restored
soon after the mysterious wiping took place.
Oh, so this article means nothing. Quote, is
a stark reminder to us all, me included, keep
backups, keep them in multiple places and never
be intimidated by anything that comes out our
way. No matter what we expect may have happened.
End quote, the researcher wrote on X. There was
a moral of the story. Sorry, I have a real hard
time taking this article seriously anymore. There's
a bit more to go, but now I'm mad at it. Not
only for misrepresenting the entire background
of disclosure from the government. But also,
what happened to their website? So, sorry. I
just can't. I can't go forth anymore. I'm mad
at it. And you know why I'm mad at it? If we're
talking about reasons that we're mad at it. You
know what I'm all for? I think I've talked about
this on an episode recently, too. But I'm going
to talk about it again. I'm all for, like, people
saying, yeah, aliens really do exist. But not...
when it comes to trying to distract from holding
anybody accountable for their crimes and the
Epstein files. And it completely downplays, like
there was actually like fundamental pushes forward
by Joe Biden's administration that we learned
about in Canada's response to the UFO situation.
That they released. I think we did that episode
last year. Yeah, by bait. We do remember that.
They not only released everything they were able
to find. They also specifically set up how things
are supposed to be administered publicly. And
none of this is supposed to be classified anymore.
Just completely swept over that. And don't talk
about how Obama went on record in an interview
saying aliens are real. And then went on afterwards
because... People took it way too seriously and
he said this is my personal opinion because of
how big the universe is. Yeah. And you know what
is the funny thing when I watch that Obama thing?
That's totally what I got from it. So I'm not
sure why everyone like was freaking out about
that. And then I just think that Trump is just
looking for literally anything to distract from
the appearance that he briefly made in the Epstein
files because they accidentally leaked his by
accident and took it away. Anyhow. He is not
briefly in there, Chelsea. Well, I mean that
one, like, super incriminated thing that they
took away. Anyhow, I think that we should definitely
still release what they're keeping back. Oh,
yeah. No, release what there is. I really don't
know what could still be classified that would
be released at this point. Because, like, there's
been so many pushes for declassification. Over
the last three to four decades. Where we got
Blue Book. We got Project Grudge. We learned
all about them. We learned about Project Stargate.
You're talking about the Epstein files. We learned
a bit about the Epstein files. And how there
is UFO stuff in there. But not really. And I
can't remember the name of the program. But Biden
completely released everything they had on it
too. And it didn't make that big of a splash.
Because for whatever reason. The UFO community
is incredibly right wing. Oh, not only that,
but the stuff, when they actually release, it's
so boring. Yeah. And so nobody ends up caring
because it's so boring. Yeah. Well, and it's
because also, too, they have to give a good,
like a kudos to you to a democratic leader. who
they don't want to do. Yeah, that's true. Which
is an unfortunate thing within this community.
I always get so mad at this, and everybody's
giving Trump credit for this, and they're like,
oh, he's going to say something in the State
of the Union. Didn't come up once. Didn't come
up once, because he doesn't give a shit. No,
he really doesn't. And that's what it felt like
when he said that. I think he just saw Obama
say something and like what was happening around
him. I need to one -up him because he hates Obama
so hard. It wasn't just one -up him. It was,
I think he just takes whatever he can to try
and distract from what's going on with the Epstein
files as well. And he starts just saying shit
just as he does. Just like things just come out
of his mouth. And I'm just so sick of hearing.
Anyhow, this is a mini - about hate and why we
hate as many. Yeah. But you guys got 48 hours.
What's Trump's distraction over this time? Yeah.

us your hate. Email us, please. Bye.
