Trump orders UFO files release after slamming Obama over alien comments

Donald Trump announced his administration would begin releasing government documents about aliens and UFOs. This declaration followed Trump's accusation that Barack Obama disclosed classified information. Trump criticized Obama for discussing the possibility of alien life in a podcast. Obama had stated that the vastness of the universe made the existence of life elsewhere statistically probable. Trump claimed Obama's statements constituted a breach of classified information protocols. Trump's comments were prompted by a question from Fox News regarding Obama's remarks. The Pentagon's 2024 report found a surge in UFO sightings in the 1950s and 60s likely linked to advanced US spy planes. The issue has gained Congressional attention due to concerns about transparency and national security regarding unidentified aerial phenomena. The report found no evidence of extraterrestrial activity or phenomena.
