Reuters reported that Trump said on April 29 (local time) that his administration would soon make public “as much information as possible” about UFOs. He had made similar remarks at an April 17 event in Phoenix, Arizona, saying he had found “many very interesting documents” during a review and that an initial release would begin soon.
The comments reaffirm a disclosure plan he previewed in February. On Feb. 19, he said he would direct the Defense Department and related agencies to identify government documents on UFOs, UAPs and extraterrestrial life and begin the process for releasing them. The AP reported that he cited strong public interest at the time.
Trump did not claim to have confirmed the existence of extraterrestrial life. He told the AP, “I don’t know if they’re real,” and said he had no opinion on the matter.
The Pentagon’s past assessments have leaned against evidence of alien technology. Reuters said a 2024 Defense Department report found no proof of extraterrestrial technology in government investigations dating back to World War II, and concluded many sightings were misidentifications of ordinary objects or natural phenomena. In 2022, senior U.S. military leaders also said they had found no evidence that aliens had visited Earth or crashed here.
