UFO Bombshell: Trump Moves to Declassify Alien Records
Trump orders agencies to begin releasing classified UFO files, reigniting debate over alien life, UAP sightings, and government secrecy.
US President Donald Trump says he will direct US agencies, including the Defense Department, to "begin the process of identifying and releasing" government files on aliens and aliens.
Trump made the announcement in a post after earlier in the day he accused Barack Obama of revealing classified information after the former president said on a podcast last week that "aliens are real."
Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, "He shouldn't have done that," and added: "He made a big mistake."
Asked if he also believes aliens are real, Trump replied: "Well, I don't know if they're real or not."
Former US President Obama told podcast host Brian Tyler Cohen in an interview released last Saturday that he believes aliens are real.

Obama said, "They're real, but I haven't seen them, and they're not being kept in Area 51."
"There's no underground facility, unless there's a massive conspiracy and they're hiding it from the President of the United States."
After the comment made headlines, Obama tried to clarify that he believes there's a possibility of life beyond Earth, given the vastness of the universe.
In a follow-up post on Instagram, Obama, who served as US president from 2009-17, clarified: "I haven't seen any evidence that aliens have contacted us during my presidency."
Obama's initial comments were made during a rapid "lightning" round of questions on the podcast.
There was no indication that Obama relied on classified information when giving the interview. The Democrat and Trump, a Republican, are longtime political foes.

For his part, Trump said on Air Force One on Thursday that while many people believe in the existence of aliens, he never talks about it and "has no opinion on it."
A few hours later, he posted that "based on the tremendous interest shown," he would demand the release of files related to "alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), and any and all other information related to these very complex, but very interesting and important matters."
In a 2024 report, the Pentagon stated that there was "no evidence" that the US government had encountered alien life, and that most UFO sightings were simply commonplace.
In 2023, the US House of Representatives held a panel on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs), colloquially known as UFOs.
