Trump Orders Declassification of UAP Files, Citing Obama Remarks as Pentagon Finds No Alien Evidence

President Donald Trump has announced via Truth Social that he is directing federal agencies to begin identifying and releasing government files related to unidentified flying objects and extraterrestrial life, including UAPs and UFOs, instructing the Secretary of War and other departments to locate and make public records. He cautioned that while the declassification of classified materials was not explicitly detailed, the effort would be comprehensive. Earlier that day, Trump accused former President Barack Obama of disclosing classified information in a viral podcast appearance, referencing Obama's remarks about unidentified aerial phenomena and Area 51. Obama acknowledged unexplained sightings but said there is no evidence of aliens and dismissed claims of hidden aliens at Area 51, and rejected notions of a sprawling underground facility or a vast government conspiracy, suggesting such secrecy would be unlikely to be kept from a sitting president. Trump countered that Obama had revealed classified information and called it a serious mistake, though he did not specify which comments were considered classified. Trump also said he does not know whether aliens exist, noting there is no verified scientific evidence of intelligent life beyond Earth. In March 2024 the Pentagon released a report concluding that there is no evidence UAP are linked to alien technology, with many sightings attributed to weather balloons, surveillance aircraft, satellites, or other ordinary causes. Area 51, a secret U.S. Air Force facility at Groom Lake in Nevada, has long fueled alien conspiracies though its confirmed use is flight testing; it was designated Area 51 on Atomic Energy Commission maps, and the U.S. government formally acknowledged its existence in 2013.
