The Epstein Files are thousands of court documents, flight logs, and investigative records related to Jeffrey Epstein and his network. Courts have unsealed over 14,000 documents since 2023, revealing names, dates, and financial connections previously kept secret.
The Alien Files refer to declassified UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) records released by the Pentagon, CIA, FBI and NASA. As of June 2026, over 11,000 documents have been released as part of an ongoing government transparency initiative.
It varies by news cycle. Currently Epstein Files lead at approximately 56% vs 44% for Alien Files worldwide. Major UAP disclosure announcements can rapidly shift this balance — as seen in June 2026 when the third government batch was released.
We use normalized Google Trends scores (0-100) for both terms. The split is calculated as: Epstein% = E/(E+A)x100 and Alien% = A/(E+A)x100. This shows the relative share of search interest between the two topics.
David Grusch is a former US intelligence officer who testified before Congress in 2023, claiming the US government possesses non-human craft and biological material. His testimony triggered record search spikes for UAP-related terms worldwide.
They are not directly connected, but both represent major government transparency demands of our era. Both involve powerful institutions withholding information from the public, which is why tracking them together reveals interesting patterns in public trust and curiosity.
Our News section covers all major document releases, Congressional hearings, and UAP announcements as they happen. We publish analysis of how each news event affects public search behavior in real time.
