U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that his administration will soon release government files related to unidentified flying objects (UFOs), reigniting public interest in the possibility of extraterrestrial life.
Trump said he had previously instructed U.S. agencies to begin declassifying records concerning UFO sightings and related investigations, citing strong public demand for transparency on the issue.
He also called for a broader review of government-held data, while criticizing former President Barack Obama over what he described as the improper handling of classified information. Trump’s remarks follow comments made by Obama in a podcast, where he acknowledged that unexplained aerial phenomena do exist.
The anticipated release could shed new light on decades of speculation surrounding UFOs, government secrecy, and the ongoing debate about the existence of life beyond Earth.
