Trump Directs Hegseth to Release Files on Aliens and UFOs

Interest piqued after former President Barack Obama told a podcaster that aliens are real.

Woohoo!

President Donald Trump wants the Pentagon to release all files related to extraterrestrials:

Based on the tremendous interest shown, I will be directing the Secretary of War, and other relevant Departments and Agencies, to begin the process of identifying and releasing Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), and any and all other information connected to these highly complex, but extremely interesting and important, matters. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

So cool.

We know they exist:

Interest piqued after former President Barack Obama told a podcaster that aliens are real.

“But I haven’t seen them,” said Obama. “They’re not being kept at Area 51. There’s no underground facility — unless there’s this enormous conspiracy and they hid it from the President of the United States.”

Didn’t anyone watch Independence Day?

President Whitmore demanded to know why no one told him about Area 51.

Secretary Albert Nimziki responded, “Plausible deniability.”

Duh. It makes you wonder how much the president does not know.

Trump claimed Obama divulged classified information:

Trump responded to Obama’s comments while speaking with reporters aboard Air Force One.

“Well, he gave classified information. He’s not supposed to be doing that,” he answered.

“I don’t know if they’re real or not. … He made a big mistake. He took it out of classified information,” the president said, adding he doesn’t “have an opinion on it.”

But, to me, it appears Trump did so with his response.

Obama said he never saw aliens, denied that Area 51 has aliens, or that the government has an underground facility.

Obama stressed that point on social media.

“Statistically, the universe is so vast that the odds are good there’s life out there,” explained Obama. “But the distances between solar systems are so great that the chances we’ve been visited by aliens is low, and I saw no evidence during my presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with us.”

Deep down, I think I believe in aliens because it’d be freaky if life on Earth is the only life in the vast universe.

I’m more concerned about the aliens here illegally.

I’ve never seen Marvin the Martian and Barack Obama in the same room at the same time so yeah I believe in aliens.

Anything but unredacting the Epstein files.

    the dems dont want it released and they have the rinos on their side

    trump has ordered the docs released

    President Donald Trump signed legislation Wednesday that compels his administration to release files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, bowing to political pressure from his own party after initially resisting those efforts.

the dems have announced that any ufos that want in to this country shall hereby be issued a

CDL

voter registration card

Sigh. No, that was not classified information. It wasn’t even very sophisticated thoughts on alien life. It’s just Obama running his mouth again because he’s unwilling to say the phrase “I don’t know”.

We’re going to get a release of a bunch of stuff where we don’t know what it is. Hence the “unknown” in “unknown flying object”.

    “Well, he gave classified information. He’s not supposed to be doing that. … He made a big mistake. He took it out of classified information,”
    Hey, whatever happened to the Mar A Lago Plea?
    “The president can declassify anything he wants, any time he wants, without asking anyone else’s permission.”

      Obama is no longer the POTUS. Unless he declassified information in writing or by action (like taking it home while still POTUS), the info remains classified. An ex-POTUS has no authority to declassify it.

    DaveGinOly in reply to Semper Why. | February 20, 2026 at 8:53 pm

    You may be correct. But because he is an ex-POTUS, and potentially knows that aliens exist due to his former access to classified info, he may have told the truth. If so, he spilled classified information. But if Obama doesn’t know, his pronouncement is indistinguishable from a release of classified information if what he said happens to be true because he’s a former POTUS and may have such knowledge. Not that it would be actionable, it’s just that outside observers (us) without real knowledge (of the classified information) wouldn’t be able to distinguish between an off-the-cuff comment and disclosure of classified information.

It will show the aliens lock their doors flying by Earth

    A secret report shows that aliens are working of advanced technology that will enable them to fly in the dark without using all kinds of lights

I’ve come to the conclusion that the only reason for a species capable of interstellar travel to bother with an inhabited planet is because of an interest in the inhabitants themselves.

First you would send in your xenobiologists who would snatch specemins for study, which they’d tag and release…

…🤔…

Then decide if there’s any point in further contact.

We could just be an “intentionally uncontacted species” in the way we leave isolated tribes to their old ways.

    We are too far away to be contacted by anything biological, as quantium physics is a universal constant an EBE cannot withstand. We may see drones or projected conciousness but nothing with mass can exceed the speed of light.

    We are millions of years more advanced than chimpanzees, monkeys, and other primates, yet we find them intensely interesting. We even teach some of them how to communicate with us, and they certainly understand how to take instructions from us (as do dogs, horses, pigs, birds, cats, cetaceans, and many other animals). Maybe we’re being evaluated for our suitability for such “training.” Maybe we’ve been evaluated and found lacking. Maybe we’re being observed for signs of actual “advancement” (and I don’t mean the ability to make shiny things and to blow stuff up).

    Maybe there are alien races so far advanced that they have forgotten their own history/prehistory. They may find us worthy of study as stand-ins for their own ancestors, giving them insight into how they may have evolved and how their societies advanced.

    There are so many possibilities for why advanced alien races would find us interesting and worthy of study that it is difficult to believe that we’re simply too primitive for them to find us interesting. We find the most minute and primitive living things endlessly interesting. There’s no reason that intelligent aliens wouldn’t find us similarly interesting, in spite of their possibly being millions of years more advanced.

I think it would be terrifying

Clearly they would be so advanced from us they could use us as a food source and we would not have any way to prevent them from doing so

Twilight zone and Carl Sagan were right

I miss Carl, loved watching him

    We are a feeding ground of sorts, a buffet of biological conciousness that is to the benefit of something we cannot understand.

    Sagan was definitely an accomplished showman.

    they would be so advanced from us they could use us as a food source and we would not have any way to prevent them from doing so—-

    —-yet they would crash when trying to land when they got here.
    —-and they still haven’t figured out how to fly in the dark without lights.

      It’s an alien thing, you wouldn’t understand it.
      Like not being able to drive a car without turning the rap up to 11.

    Aliens do not pose a threat to us. If they did, why didn’t they take over the planet/wipe out humanity 10 centuries ago, 5,000 years ago, or 100,000 years ago? Alien invaders would command technology that is vastly more advanced than our own. They are likely to be thousands, tens of thousands, or possibly millions of years older than our species. Therefore it is likely they’ve been visiting us for a very long time. It is unlikely that any hostile aliens would have waited until we developed nuclear weapons before attacking us. And with such advanced tech as they have, they could still probably whip us overnight. Why haven’t they done so, either very recently, or in the past when we were just that much more technologically inferior? The fact this hasn’t happened, I think, provides very strong evidence that any aliens aware of our presence here are not hostile. If they had been, what are they waiting for?

    “Let’s wait until our opponent is stronger, more capable, and more nearly a match for us before we attack,” said no military strategist ever.

    I further think that if they are aware of us, they are aware of each other. There are probably “rules” about destroying other intelligent species that they enforce among themselves. Or there are no such rules because there’s no need for them. Having mastered space flight over cosmic distances, they would have no need for us or any of our resources, space being full of all the natural resources any space-faring species could more easily acquire without a fight, or the expense of a fight (no matter how little expense such a fight might present to them), or at the expense of another species.

“Statistically, the universe is so vast that the odds are good there’s life out there,” explained Obama. “But the distances between solar systems are so great that the chances we’ve been visited by aliens is low, and I saw no evidence during my presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with us.”

Hoo boy. I find myself in partial agreement with The Won. Hell just froze over.

Yes – the vast distances between stars makes it unlikely the Earth has been visited by intelligent beings from another planet (assuming they exist). If even a tiny fraction of the reports of UFOs and aliens were true it would mean that Earth is the crossroads of the universe. That seems incredibly unlikely.

But as for life existing elsewhere in the universe – well, I don’t see any convincing evidence for that. We don’t even have a plausible theory about life evolving through natural processes on Earth – which is an amazingly friendly place for biological life – let alone elsewhere. All we have is lots of speculation with almost no facts to back it up.

I am old enough to remember the Viking 1 and 2 probes which landed on Mars in 1976, and how excited everyone was (myself included) that we were just about to find extraterrestrial life. That did not happen, and after that letdown I noticed “the search for extraterrestrial life” morphed into “the search for extraterrestrial water” in scientific literature. Water is easier to find than microbes, and it is a necessary condition for biological life as we know it, but IMO it has led to some wildly unrealistic speculation about otherwise hostile places like Europa and Enceladus being possible abodes of life. It seems the search for extraterrestrial life is slowly devolving into speculation and outright fiction.

    “We don’t even have a plausible theory about life evolving through natural processes on Earth…”
    Really?
    There’s evidence on this planet that life evolved more than once. There are theories that say that if conditions are correct, the appearance of life is almost inevitable. (It may be true that random events can’t create life, but events aren’t “random,” they’re governed by physics and chemistry. Physics and chemistry makes an untold number of physical and chemical reactions not just possible but unavoidable. For instance, nucleic acids are known to be present in molecular clouds in space, where it was thought radiation wouldn’t permit their existence.)

Two thoughts:

1. Before any sentient beings could develop sufficiently complex technology sufficient to travel to our vicinity they would most likely destroy themselves in ways similar to those in which we are in the process of destroying ourselves.

2. Read this: https://blogs.cornell.edu/ccperspective/home/review-of-flatland/

Release of the alien UFO files shows that aliens have been voting in our elections.

“…it’d be freaky if life on Earth is the only life in the vast universe.”

Not freaky. Just Divine.

    On the other hand ruling out the possibility of intelligent life elsewhere is kinda arrogant b/c it implicitly limits the power of the Creator and elevates humanity on Earth as the singular focus of the Creator. Why couldn’t there be more life out there with their own claim on the Creator as sort of parallel experiments set in motion by the Creator as part of His plan which we can’t know or comprehend?

didn’t he declassify these in his first term?
