Overview
- At a Turning Point USA event in Phoenix on Friday, President Trump said the first government releases of UFO records will begin “very, very soon.”
- He cited strong public interest and reminded supporters that he ordered agencies in February to start preparing the files for public release.
- No documents have been posted yet, and Trump said he has seen no evidence of extraterrestrial life.
- A Pentagon report in 2024 found no proof of alien technology and said most sightings were misidentified aircraft, balloons, or weather effects.
- The issue has turned political as Trump accused Barack Obama of improper disclosures after an interview remark, which Obama later clarified by saying he saw no evidence of contact during his presidency.
