Trump Orders Pentagon to Release All UFO and Alien Files in Historic Disclosure Push
President Donald Trump has ordered the Department of Defense to release all classified files concerning unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), aliens, and UFOs. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed the directive, emphasizing the administration's commitment to transparency, a move that has garnered rare bipartisan support, including from Senator Chuck Schumer. While Pentagon officials welcome the initiative, experts caution that the extensive volume of decades-old classified material means the full disclosure process will likely take considerable time. This order represents a significant push for transparency regarding long-held government secrets about UAPs.
President Trump directed the Pentagon to identify and release all government files related to aliens, UFOs, and unidentified anomalous phenomena. Defense Secretary Hegseth has been tasked with leading the disclosure effort.
