READ: President Trump Directs Federal Agencies to Release UFO and Alien-Related Files
President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he will direct federal agencies to begin releasing government files related to aliens and unidentified flying objects—an announcement that has immediately reignited speculation about long-awaited UFO disclosure.
Calling the subject “extremely interesting and important,” Trump said he would order Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other agencies to make the information public, citing strong public interest. The move comes amid growing online anticipation that the U.S. government could be on the verge of revealing what it knows about extraterrestrial life.
While traveling to Georgia, President Trump made comments about former President Barack Obama improperly discussing classified information. Recently Obama said in a podcast interview that aliens are “real,” clarifying that he meant life likely exists somewhere in the vast universe, though he saw no evidence of contact during his presidency.
The timing of Trump’s announcement has sparked intense discussion within UFO circles. Some researchers and disclosure advocates have speculated that any major revelation could be strategically timed—pointing in particular to July’s anniversary of the 1947 Roswell incident, long considered the cornerstone of modern UFO lore. A theory circulating online suggests the president could use the symbolic date to formally acknowledge the existence of alien life.
Roswell, where debris from what the U.S. military later described as a weather balloon crashed in New Mexico, has remained central to decades of claims involving recovered craft and hidden extraterrestrial evidence.
The National Archives confirms it holds numerous UFO-related records across federal collections, adding further intrigue to what might be included in any forthcoming release.
Whether the move results in routine document transparency or something more historic, President Trump’s directive has reignited one of the most enduring questions in modern history: What does the government really know— and what are they hiding?
