162 records, 28 unresolved UAP videos, material from NASA, the FBI, the State Department and the Department of War covering cases from 1944 all the way to 2026.

But a couple of days on from the release of the first batch of UFO files, the real question is not just what was released.

It's what wasn't.

Ross Coulthart, Lou Elizondo and others are already saying the best material is still being held back.

Tim Burchett says the holy cow stuff is still to come.

Liberation Times is reporting concerns about who controls the release process behind the scenes.

And while some people are calling this a historic first step, others are saying it's underwhelming, managed or even a distraction from Epstein.

So today we're asking, was this the beginning of real UFO disclosure or just the start of a much bigger fight over what the public is actually allowed to see?

Hi everyone and welcome back to That UFO Podcast.

As always, my name is Andy and it's now been a couple of days since the Department of War released the initial batch of files on UFOs UAP and it certainly made the news, including here in the UK.

But what's the reaction been?

Positive, negative or somewhere in between?

Like I said at the top of the show, in total 162 records released in this first batch and that's important.

These are supposedly going to be every few weeks it looks like with the next batch coming around the 22nd of May roughly.

These are made up of records from NASA, the FBI, the State Department, the DOW and others running from the 40s through to modern day and Congressman Tim Burchett in reply to a user on X was asked how good these files were on a scale and he said the holy cow stuff was still to come.

It was stated online the site itself had over half a billion, 500 million hits in the first day it was online.

There is a huge public interest in this topic, which I'm sure many of you are going to be so glad to hear.

And I've got to mention that there were folks across a lot of platforms online, across various media outlets from the general public, largely discussing how this is just a reaction from the Epstein files.

Do you agree with that?

I'd love to know in your comments below or get in touch with me because that's an interesting one.
