Trump: "UFO files to be released in the near future"

On the 29th (local time), President Trump, during an event at the White House in Washington DC where he invited astronauts who boarded the Artemis 2 lunar probe, stated regarding the release of UFO-related files, "We will release as many (UFO-related files) as possible in the near future."

President Trump said, "People want to know about UFOs or anything related to them," adding, "We plan to release a lot of what we have, and I think it will be very interesting."

He continued, "Mainly during my first term, I interviewed many people, including very credible (spacecraft) pilots," and added, "They said, 'You wouldn't believe what we've seen.'"

After Obama's "aliens exist" comment, Trump orders disclosure of UFO information

President Trump's remarks about releasing UFO information came after former President Barack Obama's comments. In a podcast interview in February, former President Obama caused controversy by saying, "Aliens exist."

As the controversy grew, former President Obama clarified that he meant "the universe is so vast that, statistically, the likelihood of life existing somewhere is high." However, President Trump strongly criticized this, saying it was "a leak of classified information."

Amid this situation, President Trump ordered the federal government in the same month to review and release documents related to UFOs, extraterrestrial life, and unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP).

Subsequently, at a Turning Point USA event held in Arizona on the 17th, President Trump stated, "We found a lot of very interesting documents," and announced that related information would be released soon, once again mentioning the release of UFO files.
