President Donald Trump has directed the Pentagon and other government agencies to identify and release files related to extraterrestrials and UFOs because of “tremendous interest.”
The move announced last week, following comments by former President Barack Obama who said that extraterrestrials were real. Trump accused Obama of revealing classified information
Trump told reporters “I don’t know if they’re (aliens) real or not,” and regarding Obama, “I may get him out of trouble by declassifying.”

In a post on his social media platform Trump said he was directing government agencies to release files related “to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), and any and all other information connected to these highly complex, but extremely interesting and important, matters.”

MSN reports: Reactions have been mixed, with scientists cautioning against sensationalism. Publications like Scientific American have noted that Trump’s order might overshadow legitimate searches for extraterrestrial life by emphasising unproven claims. Transparency advocates see it as a positive step. Former Pentagon official Luis Elizondo described the task as a ‘tremendous undertaking,’ given the volume of accumulated data.
On X, analyst Joshua Reid posited that the release would reveal more about anomalous physics and technological insights than definitive proof of aliens.
While believers hope for groundbreaking revelations, sceptics recall that previous declassifications often attributed sightings to mundane explanations. Polymarket odds on new UFO files by March 31 stand at 29 to 30 per cent, reflecting some public doubt.
The Trump UFO declassification process is now in motion, with agencies reviewing vast archives for suitable material. No firm timeline has been set, but initial disclosures could emerge in the coming months. As public anticipation builds, the focus remains on balancing transparency with security concerns. Officials reiterate that any evidence of extraterrestrial life would be profound, but so far, none has been confirmed.
