White House registers new ‘alien’-related .gov domains as DOD tackles Trump’s disclosure directive

The White House registered two new government domains—alien.gov and aliens.gov—on Tuesday evening, according to federal records, as the Trump administration moves forward with President Trump's directive to release classified records on unidentified anomalous phenomena and extraterrestrial beings announced in February. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the Pentagon is actively working to comply with the disclosure order, with the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office handling a growing caseload of UAP reports and planning to eventually expand public reporting beyond current government employees and military personnel. The domains are currently not connected to functioning websites, and White House and Pentagon spokespeople declined to clarify their intended purpose or whether they signal a shift in the government's UAP disclosure strategy. The registration occurred while CISA has halted new .gov domain requests due to a federal funding lapse, though the agency did not respond to questions about the exception.
