Trump Orders Declassification of UFO and Extraterrestrial Files, Citing Tremendous Interest

Trump directed the Pentagon and other government agencies to declassify and release files related to extraterrestrials and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), urging inclusion of “any and all other information connected” to these matters, citing “tremendous interest.” The announcement came on social media after he accused former President Barack Obama of disclosing classified information during a podcast interview in which Obama suggested aliens are real. Obama had previously said on the podcast that aliens are real but he did not see any evidence during his presidency. He later clarified on Instagram that while statistically there may be life elsewhere in the universe, the vast distances make contact unlikely, and he saw no evidence of contact during his presidency. The article also notes ongoing public fascination with aliens and Area 51, referencing past events like the viral “Storm Area 51” stunt. It mentions that in March 2024 the Pentagon released a report concluding there was no evidence that unexplained aerial phenomena were alien technology, highlighting the ongoing uncertainty around the phenomenon.
