US to release UFO data/ Trump orders government to release data after former President Obama's statements
US President Donald Trump has announced plans to declassify and release previously undisclosed government information about extraterrestrial life. The announcement comes after landmark comments by former President Barack Obama in which he did not deny the existence of extraterrestrial life forms.
Trump used his Truth Social platform to share the news, stating that he would ask the Secretary of Defense and other relevant government bodies to begin identifying and releasing classified documents on topics including alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), along with any other related material.
“Given the extraordinary interest shown,” Trump wrote, “I will be directing the Secretary of Defense and other relevant departments and agencies to begin the process of identifying and releasing government documents related to alien and extraterrestrial life... God bless America!”
It was Barack Obama who gave rise to new speculation about the presence of alien life in the universe. During an interview, answering a question about UFOs, Obama said: "They are real, but I have not seen them and they are not kept in Area 51. There is no underground structure."
These few words were enough to ignite a media frenzy and fuel the already widely spread theories about the existence of extraterrestrial life.
Donald Trump also commented on Obama's statements aboard Air Force One.
"I don't know if they're true or not. I can tell you that he gave out classified information. He shouldn't have done that, he made a big mistake. He took it out of the classified information," Trump said in response to reporters' questions.
Regarding the existence of UFOs, the American president said that he had no opinion on the matter, but that he was prepared to release classified information to absolve Obama of responsibility.
