Aliens.gov Resolves – To a WordPress "Site Not Found" Error
7 by ascarola | 2 comments on Hacker News.
After a month of "Stay tuned! " from White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly, the U.S. government's long-awaited UFO disclosure portal has achieved a major milestone: it now returns what appears to be a WordPress multisite configuration error instead of nothing. Progress. The domain was registered by CISA on March 17th amid much fanfare following Trump's directive to release classified files on UAPs, extraterrestrial life, and "any and all other information connected to these highly complex but extremely interesting and important matters." The Pentagon got involved. Avi Loeb wrote a think piece. A cottage industry of fake mirror sites (aliens-gov.online, aliensgov.online, etc.) sprang up overnight. The actual government site? SITE_NOT_FOUND. To be fair, this is likely a CMS multisite DNS/mapping issue — the server is live, the content just hasn't been deployed yet. So disclosure is technically imminent, in the same way that a 90s GeoCities page was technically imminent once you bought the domain. The real question is whether the classified files revealing 70 years of extraterrestrial contact will be organized with Categories, Tags, and a sidebar widget showing Recent Posts. :)
