Trump Teases Imminent UFO Document Releases

The review follows pressure from lawmakers and a Pentagon deadline for 46 requested videos that passed without delivery, officials said.

  • President Donald Trump announced Friday that the Pentagon will release government files on UFOs and unidentified aerial phenomena "very, very soon," telling a Phoenix crowd he found "many very interesting documents."
  • In February 2026, President Trump directed War Secretary Pete Hegseth to identify relevant government records, citing "tremendous interest" in the topic following remarks by former President Barack Obama.
  • The administration leverages the 2023 Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Disclosure Act, which established the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office within the Department of Defense to investigate UAP incidents.
  • White House Press Secretary Anna Kelly told Newsweek that President Trump directed the Department of War to begin releasing files, asserting he is "the most transparent President in history."
  • A 2024 Pentagon report found no evidence of extraterrestrial technology, though the disclosure push follows public debate sparked by former President Barack Obama's recent comments on alien life.
