WASHINGTON – President Trump announced he would instruct senior officials to begin the process of identifying and releasing government records related to UFOs, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and the possibility of extraterrestrial life.
In a post on Truth Social, President Trump stated he would direct the Secretary of War and relevant federal agencies to review and declassify the documents.
He described these as "complex but extremely interesting and important" issues.
Reaction to Former President Obama's Remarks
Earlier that day, President Trump criticized Barack Obama after Obama stated in a recent interview that aliens were "real."
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, President Trump said that revealing such classified information was inappropriate.
