There is no authenticated record that Snowden released documents supporting extraterrestrial governance claims. Snowden himself has publicly denied possessing evidence of aliens in prior interviews.
What remains verifiable is this: the 2014 Fars report attributed its claims to an alleged FSB document that has never been independently produced, authenticated, or corroborated.

If Washington prepares additional UAP disclosures, could geopolitical rivals attempt to preempt or manipulate the narrative?
Three possibilities exist:

A foreign government could release unverifiable “intelligence” documents alleging U.S. concealment of extraterrestrial contact to destabilize trust. - Counter-Disclosure Framing
Rivals could publish selective materials reframing U.S. transparency efforts as admissions of prior deception. - Psychological Escalation
During heightened global tensions, extraordinary claims can amplify uncertainty, erode institutional confidence, and distract from conventional military or diplomatic developments.
