The United States will soon release government documents on aliens, UFOs and more, said Donald Trump and the Internet cannot stop wondering if it is just a way to divert attention from the notorious Jeffrey Epstein files.
“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)…,” the White House shared Trump’s Truth Social post on X.

How did the aliens come to focus?
Trump had accused former President Barack Obama of giving away classified information when he discussed the idea of extraterrestrial life during a recent podcast appearance, Bloomberg reported.
“He gave classified information; he’s not supposed to be doing that,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One. The president suggested he could get Obama “out of trouble” by declassifying the related information.
When asked if aliens are real, Trump said, “Well, I don’t know if they’re real or not. I can tell you he gave classified information. He’s [Obama] not supposed to be doing that. He made a big mistake, he took it out of classified information.”

“They’re real, but I haven’t seen them, and they’re not being kept in… Area 51,” Obama said, referring to the top-secret facility at the heart of many UFO conspiracies.
