US President Donald Trump has announced that he will instruct Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to declassify government documents regarding extraterrestrials and UFOs (unidentified flying objects).
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that the head of state shared this information on his Truth Social platform.
According to the president, he will direct the Pentagon chief and relevant departments to begin the process of identifying and releasing documents related to alien civilizations, extraterrestrial life, and unexplained aerial phenomena. Donald Trump noted that this move will also cover other complex issues that are of significant public interest and importance.
It should be recalled that in previous interviews, Donald Trump claimed that Barack Obama had leaked classified information when discussing the existence of extraterrestrials. The new decision is expected to shed light on many obscure points within the United States' space research and national security archives.
The move comes amid increasing pressure from the public and members of Congress for greater transparency regarding Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP). In recent years, the US Department of Defense has established specialized task forces to investigate sightings by military personnel, though much of the data has remained classified due to national security concerns. This initiative by the Donald Trump administration marks a significant shift in the federal government's long-standing policy of secrecy regarding cosmic phenomena and potential contact with non-human intelligence.
