Nearly 3,800,000 files were removed from The Black Vault hours after President Donald Trump ordered the release of UFO-related government records.
The Black Vault is a privately run archive created by researcher John Greenewald Jr. that hosts declassified US government documents.
The removed material included records on UFOs, intelligence programs, military reports, and other federal files obtained through FOIA requests.
Greenewald said the hosting provider indicated the files were deleted rather than corrupted, though no cause was confirmed.
The archive was later restored from backups, raising questions about digital preservation and public access to declassified records.
