President of the United States, Donald Trump, has announced that the U.S. Department of Defense is expected to soon release "very interesting" documents related to UFOs and unidentified aerial phenomena.
In a public statement, Trump emphasized that the declassification process of the files is underway and that the initial releases will begin "very, very soon." He recalled that he had previously instructed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to initiate the review and publication of documents related to these phenomena.
His statements come at a time when pressure from Capitol Hill has increased for greater transparency regarding the issue of unidentified aerial phenomena. However, Trump did not assert that these phenomena are necessarily of extraterrestrial origin.
Earlier, in February, he had announced that he had ordered the relevant authorities to review files related to the possibility of extraterrestrial life as well.
These developments follow comments from former President Barack Obama, who stated in a podcast that life likely exists in the universe but clarified that during his time in office, he had not seen concrete evidence of the existence of aliens.
