Rick Wilson is a political commentator, an author, and a co-founder of the Lincoln Project, a "pro-democracy" Political Action Committee composed of former Republicans. In the below video, at 14:50, he mentions that a source (presumably inside the US government) has told him that President Trump will soon have a press conference about "UFOs":

"Right before we came on the air somebody texted me – apparently Trump is preparing to come out with a major press conference about UFOs."

Wilson's claim is followed by some mild laughter by the other guests, but there is no other UFO content or discussion in the video, which is of a generally anti-Trump administration nature. I have followed Wilson's reporting and commentary for several years and would consider him to me much more reliable than any of the UFO celebrity information sources.

  1. Could be.

    But what kind of “Soon” are we talking about? a day, a week, a month, this year?

    Anything to distract from the epstien files. Sadly nothing he says is credible so we learn nothing by this press conference. It will actually make the overall situation of distinguishing the truth even harder.

  3. Rick Wilson has sources and he’s not a UFO guy by any stretch. This is an intriguing confirmation of this rumor.

  4. And when this “rumor” turns out to be false, he’ll just shrug his shoulders and go back to acting like nothing happened.

  5. Maybe he intends to but will change his mind tomorrow, either due to some distraction or an insider threatening him with the fear of god. Or maybe he will, but the announcement will be a nothingburger with no detail.

    Who the heck knows. I wouldn’t get excited about this, that’s for sure.

    The only thing I’m interested in Trump identifying or disclosing are the names in the files.

  7. This guy has no credibility. Unless he provides evidence, his announcement will be heard far and wide, but change nothing for humanity.

    Well, given that he didn’t specify who that somebody was or what they work with, this quote could be read simply as “and to top it all off, the crazies are saying this and that”.

    Didn’t get to see the video yet, though.

    following the disclosure movement is like watching a series that consists only of cliffhangers

    Yeah I could almost believe he would do it. Fucking asshole would pick the worst possible time imaginable and try to add this topic to his own corrupt sinking ship

    We have the biggest UFOs over our country. No one has bigger or more of them. Biden’s UFOs were weak and crashed everyone. Let me tell you.

    Just a quick heads up: Trump is not preparing to hold a major press conference about UFOs.

    Thank you and good night.

  13. This is a sensational distraction from the current news. Nothing more. Don’t be distracted people.

  14. Yeeeees, go ahead, yap your trap. Not going to change anything, but we’d be much obliged.

  15. “You know I love aliens … these are the good kind. They’ve got some fast aircraft, maybe not as fast as ours but still fast, maybe not. And our economy is rising just as fast. Look at your 401K, you didn’t have that under Biden. We did that. We brought the economy up and it’s still going.”

  16. The best way to convince the world that there isn’t a cabal of wealthy and powerful child rapists running the most powerful country in the world is to hold a press conference and explain to the world that aliens exist.

    Assuming this is a major disclosure begin with Roswell happened and we have the bodies. (Since in the background of this somewhat is Grusch and that’s among his claims).

    I’m not saying it did happen, because I don’t know, but if that’s the claim go right for it — that’ll get attention.

    Although there has never been a president with less credibility in American history on so many levels. So again I’m not sure if he’d be the guy I pick for this job .. to make a massive understatement 

    Figures 

  18. I actually don’t want Trump to disclose. It will merely be looked at as another distraction from the e-files. I’m afraid he will not be taken seriously.
