"In a Thursday evening post on Truth Social, Trump said that 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)." (What the difference between UAPs and UFOs is unclear, as the former term has conventionally been used by government officials to refer to the latter.)"
"When asked by YouTuber Bryan Tyler Cohen if aliens are indeed real during a "lightning round" segment, Obama demurred. "They're real, but I haven't seen them. And they're not being kept in - what is it? - Area 51." "There's no underground facility unless there's this enormous conspiracy and they hid it from the president of the United States," he added."
Trump posted on Truth Social that, based on "tremendous interest shown," he will direct the Secretary of War and other departments to begin identifying and releasing government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs). The post included a jab at former president Barack Obama, referencing Obama's remark that aliens "are real" during a podcast. Obama said "They're real, but I haven't seen them" and denied any hidden Area 51 underground facility, later clarifying he had seen "no evidence" of aliens. Whether agencies will comply or what files exist remains uncertain. UAPs have attracted recent media attention.
