Trump orders Pentagon, federal agencies to release files on UFOs and aliens
Trump orders the Pentagon and federal agencies to release files related to UFOs and aliens, signaling a push for greater transparency on unexplained aerial phenomena. The move follows a surge of public interest sparked by recent remarks about aliens from former President Barack Obama.
The directive appears to aim at declassifying and broadening access to government records, including investigative reports and intelligence assessments on unidentified anomalous phenomena. Officials say the effort will involve coordination across multiple agencies to compile and publish relevant documents.
Reaction from lawmakers and experts is mixed, with supporters arguing for openness and skeptics urging caution over sensitive or misleading disclosures as the administration moves to address long-standing questions about potential extraterrestrial evidence.
