U.S. President Donald Trump has directed federal agencies to identify and release information on extraterrestrial life held by the government. The move follows recent comments by former President Barack Obama, who discussed alien-related information during a podcast, prompting Trump to take action to make such files public.
Trump stated that Americans have long been curious about what the government knows regarding extraterrestrials. He emphasized that his directive aims to provide transparency and make this information accessible to the public. However, he expressed frustration over a secret revealed by Obama concerning aliens, noting that it should not have been disclosed, though he did not specify the details.
In his podcast, Obama clarified that while he believes life could exist on other planets, there is no evidence that aliens are held at Area 51 in Nevada. He also stated that during his presidency, he had no verified information about extraterrestrial life and confirmed that there are no underground bases at Area 51.
Trump’s announcement reflects growing public interest in extraterrestrial phenomena and government transparency. Analysts suggest that releasing these files could spark widespread debate and renewed attention to the U.S. government’s knowledge of alien activity.
