Trump Orders Release of UFO Files, Challenges Obama's Claims

US President Donald Trump directed federal agencies to begin identifying and releasing government files related to UFOs and extraterrestrial life. Trump posted on Truth Social that he will order the Secretary of War and other departments to release files on alien phenomena, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs). He did not specify if classified documents would be made public but stated all connected information should be released. Trump also accused former President Barack Obama of revealing classified information in his recent podcast comments about extraterrestrial life, claiming Obama made a 'big mistake' by discussing Area 51. Obama had stated 'They're real' but claimed he hadn't seen them. The Pentagon previously reported no evidence of alien technology in UAP investigations. This follows renewed interest in UFOs amid concerns about advanced adversary technologies.
