• What Happened: President Trump posted on Truth Social directing the Secretary of War and relevant agencies to identify and release all government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, UAPs, and UFOs.
  • Why It Matters: The announcement follows comments made by former President Obama on a podcast that renewed massive public interest in what the government knows about extraterrestrial life and unidentified aerial phenomena.
  • Bottom Line: Trump is moving to declassify some of the most secretive and long-sought files in American government history, and the world is watching.

Leave it to Donald Trump to hear the public buzzing about aliens and immediately order the government to open its files.

Following comments made by former President Barack Obama on a podcast that reignited widespread speculation about extraterrestrial life, Trump took to Truth Social and dropped an announcement that sent the internet into a full meltdown.

"Based on the tremendous interest shown, I will be directing the Secretary of War, and other relevant Departments and Agencies, to begin the process of identifying and releasing Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), and any and all other information connected to these highly complex, but extremely interesting and important, matters. GOD BLESS AMERICA!" Trump wrote.

That is not a small announcement. For decades, Americans have demanded to know what their government has been hiding about UAPs and unidentified craft operating in restricted airspace. Congress has held hearings. Whistleblowers have come forward. Declassified Pentagon footage has shown objects moving in ways that defy known physics. And for decades, official Washington has slow-walked every request for transparency.

Trump just blew past all of that with one Truth Social post.

Whether you love him or hate him, the man has a gift for cutting through bureaucratic stonewalling and doing what nobody else had the nerve to do. Declassifying JFK files. Brokering Middle East peace deals. And now, apparently, opening the alien files.

Obama started the conversation. Trump just decided to end the secrecy.

God Bless America indeed.
