Trump Plans Declassification of Alien and UAP Files Amid Mixed Reactions
Donald Trump announced, via Truth Social, that he will direct the Secretary of War and other relevant departments to begin identifying and releasing government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and related information. This follows Barack Obama’s claim that he saw no evidence of aliens or a cover-up. Supporters view the move as a step toward greater government transparency and disclosure, while skeptics note that such releases have historically been incomplete, heavily redacted, or non-definitive due to national security concerns. Past declassifications (e.g., JFK and Epstein files) often did not yield conclusive evidence or a smoking gun, with substantial information remaining withheld. Reactions are mixed: some scientists and lawmakers express optimism about gaining new insights, while critics warn the promise may be performative or used to gain political advantage. The timing is notable, aligning with recent statements by Obama and heightened scrutiny of Trump’s connections to Epstein and related DOJ revelations.
