Trump promises 'very interesting' UFO files, but scepticism persists

Trump says the first releases will begin very soon, but former U.S. officials and Pentagon skeptics doubt any bombshell evidence will emerge.

  • On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced at a White House event honoring NASA astronauts that his administration is preparing to release "very interesting" UFO files, promising potential revelations surrounding alien life.
  • Trump directed federal agencies in February to declassify records related to extraterrestrial life and UFOs, building on ongoing efforts by the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office to improve transparency.
  • Former intelligence official Sean Kirkpatrick dismissed the promises as a "shiny object" meant to distract Americans from the war with Iran, arguing that viral videos have mundane explanations rather than alien technology.
  • Vice President Vance and Luna have advocated for disclosure, with Vance describing himself as "obsessed" with UFO files and suggesting he will investigate Area 51 during his term.
  • Pennsylvania State University professor Greg Eghigian warned that promises of major revelations often fail to satisfy die-hard UFO followers, noting previous disclosures have rarely matched the hype surrounding potential "evidence of off-world technology.
