Trump orders Pentagon transparency on UFOs and alien encounters
President Donald Trump ordered the Pentagon and other U.S. agencies to release files related to UFOs and any information tied to “alien and extraterrestrial life.” The directive prompted a review of classified and unclassified records on unidentified aerial phenomena, with defense and intelligence officials assessing what can be disclosed without compromising national security. The move followed years of military reports about unexplained objects and increased calls from lawmakers and the public for greater transparency on government-held UFO data.
