JUST IN: President Trump CONFIRMS his administration will be declassifying and releasing UFO files IMMINENTLY
“They said they saw things you wouldn’t believe! And you’re gonna be reading about it.”
“We’re going to be releasing a lot of things from what we have, and I think some of it’s going to be VERY interesting to people.”
Back in February, President Trump ordered the Pentagon to begin reviewing and releasing all government files related to UFOs.
NBC News provided some more background:
A spokesperson for the Defense Department said in a statement to NBC News Saturday that its All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) is “working in close coordination with the White House and across federal agencies to consolidate existing UAP records collections and facilitate the expeditious release of never-before-seen UAP information.”
“AARO has made progress to make UAP information available and transfer those records to the National Archives in accordance with federal law,” the statement continued. “We welcome the president’s initiative to supercharge these efforts and make more UAP information available to the public as soon as possible.”
ADVERTISEMENTTrump announced in February that he had directed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other agency officials to begin reviewing government files related to “alien and extraterrestrial life.”
The February announcement came days after former President Barack Obama’s comments on a podcast that aliens were real. Shortly after his appearance, Obama clarified that he meant “the odds are good there’s life out there” and that he hadn’t actually seen evidence of alien life while in the White House.
President Trump made his latest remarks about the UFO files from the Oval Office while surrounded by the four NASA astronauts who recently pulled off a historic moon mission.

News Nation has more on the astronauts’ visit to the White House:
At the same event, Trump welcomed the four astronauts of NASA’s Artemis II mission at the White House three weeks after they returned from the moon.
“We have some people that have captivated the attention of the whole world. They’re very brave, and there’s a lot of rocket under them,” Trump said. “We’re very proud of these people, and they have unbelievable courage.”
ADVERTISEMENTNASA Administrator Jared Isaacman told reporters the next Artemis mission, Artemis III, is slated for sometime in 2027.
The four astronauts — Reid Wiseman, Christina Koch, Victor Glover and Jeremy Hansen — splashed back down to Earth on April 10 after a 10-day historic lunar flyby. During the trip, the astronauts got to do what had never been done before: see the far side of the moon.
