Trump orders agencies to identify and release government files on aliens
- President Donald Trump on Thursday used Truth Social to order agency leaders to 'begin the process of identifying and releasing' government files on UAPs and UFOs, citing public interest.
- Following viral remarks by Barack Obama on a podcast, reporters pressed Trump, who responded with a declassification order shortly after the Feb. 14 interview, amid renewed public interest.
- The Pentagon has tracked UAPs for decades and created the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office; a 2024 assessment says no confirmed evidence of extraterrestrial technology exists.
- Officials say it's unclear which records might be disclosed or how quickly any release would occur, and observers warn the announcement could intensify public and conspiracy theorists' interest in UAPs.
- Officials say any systematic release would follow standard declassification review processes, which could occur around July 8, the Roswell anniversary, to prevent security risks.
