The Washington Post is a major American newspaper founded on December 6, 1877, by Stilson Hutchins as a four-page Democratic publication in Washington, D.C. After financial struggles in its early decades, financier Eugene Meyer rescued it from bankruptcy in 1933 and rebuilt it as an independent publication with rigorous editorial standards. Under the Meyer-Graham family (1933–2013), the Post became a dominant news organization known for landmark investigative reporting including the Pentagon Papers (1971) and Watergate scandal (1972–1974). Since 2013, it has been owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos via Nash Holdings LLC. The organization has covered UAP/UFO phenomena extensively, including the December 2017 Pentagon UFO video disclosure and recent May 2026 Pentagon UAP file releases documenting sightings by Apollo astronauts and military personnel.

O Washington Post é um importante jornal americano fundado em 6 de dezembro de 1877 por Stilson Hutchins como uma publicação democrática de quatro páginas em Washington, D.C. Após dificuldades financeiras em suas primeiras décadas, o financista Eugene Meyer o resgatou da falência em 1933 e o reconstruiu como uma publicação independente com rigorosos padrões editoriais. Sob a família Meyer-Graham (1933–2013), o Post tornou-se uma organização de notícias dominante conhecida por reportagem investigativa marcante, incluindo os Pentagon Papers (1971) e cobertura do escândalo Watergate (1972–1974). Desde 2013, é propriedade do fundador da Amazon, Jeff Bezos, através da Nash Holdings LLC. A organização cobriu extensivamente fenômenos UAP/UFO, incluindo a divulgação do vídeo UFO do Pentágono em dezembro de 2017 e recentes lançamentos de arquivos UAP do Pentágono em maio de 2026 documentando avistamentos de astronautas da Apolo e pessoal militar.
