Washington: US President Donald Trump has announced that his administration will begin reviewing classified government records related to unidentified flying objects and possible extraterrestrial life. The directive, shared on his platform Truth Social, comes amid renewed public curiosity about unexplained aerial sightings.
Trump said he plans to instruct key federal departments to examine and prepare certain documents for possible declassification. According to him, the issue has generated significant public interest and deserves greater transparency.
Accusation Against Obama
The announcement followed Trump’s criticism of former President Barack Obama. Trump accused Obama of speaking too freely about sensitive matters during a recent podcast appearance.
While speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump claimed that classified details should not be discussed publicly. He suggested that if sensitive information had already been mentioned, the proper step would be to formally review and release documents through official channels.
What Obama Said
During the podcast interview, Obama reportedly shared his personal belief that life may exist beyond Earth. However, he clarified that during his time in office, he never encountered verified evidence of extraterrestrial beings. He also dismissed popular conspiracy theories surrounding Area 51.
His remarks triggered debate online, with some interpreting them as confirmation of long-standing UFO speculation.
Renewed Focus on UAPs
In recent years, the US government has acknowledged that military pilots have observed aerial objects that remain unexplained. These incidents have been categorized as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP).
Trump’s latest directive is expected to intensify public discussion around UFOs and alien life. Whether the review leads to major disclosures or simply routine clarifications remains to be seen.
