Trump orders agencies to identify and release government files on aliens

Trump cited public interest and recent comments by Obama to direct the Pentagon to release files on extraterrestrials, UAPs, and UFOs, amid ongoing national security reviews.

  • 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.
