Donald Trump said he plans to release classified documents related to unidentified flying objects in the near future, reviving a topic that has periodically captured public attention and fueled speculation about government secrecy.
The former president's pledge to make UFO materials public comes as interest in the subject has grown among lawmakers and the public alike. In recent years, multiple government officials and agencies have acknowledged the existence of unexplained aerial phenomena, and congressional committees have held hearings on the matter.
Trump did not specify which documents would be released or provide a precise timeline, only indicating that the disclosure would happen "soon." He has previously touched on UFO-related matters during his time in office and in subsequent public statements.
The move aligns with broader calls from transparency advocates and some elected officials who have argued that the government should declassify information about UFOs and related military encounters. Several senators and representatives have pushed for greater openness on the subject, and public opinion polls have shown considerable interest in what the government knows about such phenomena.
Declassifying sensitive government documents typically requires careful review to ensure that national security information and intelligence sources are protected. The specific contents and scope of what Trump intends to release remain unclear.
