President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that he will release as much information as possible regarding UFOs in the near future [2, 3].

The move signals a potential shift in government transparency regarding unidentified aerial phenomena, a subject long shrouded in secrecy by the Pentagon and intelligence agencies.

Speaking at a public event in Phoenix, Arizona, on April 30, 2026 [4], Trump said the administration has uncovered "a number of interesting documents" [1, 2]. He said that his team found "many very interesting documents" during the review process [4].

The push for disclosure follows a directive Trump issued to federal agencies in February 2026 [5]. That order required agencies to open their records on unidentified aerial phenomena to determine what information could be made public.

Trump said he intends to share these findings with the public soon. The president did not specify the exact nature of the documents or the specific agencies involved beyond the general review of government records [2, 5].

This initiative follows years of public interest and congressional inquiries into the nature of unidentified aerial phenomena, and their potential implications for national security. The upcoming release may provide a clearer understanding of what the U.S. government knows about these sightings [4].

Trump said, "I will release as much information as possible on UFOs in the near future" [3].

“"We found many very interesting documents."”

The promise to declassify UFO records represents a transition from the traditional 'need-to-know' secrecy of the Department of Defense toward a policy of public disclosure. By directing a review of these files in early 2026, the administration is attempting to reconcile national security interests with a growing public demand for transparency regarding non-conventional aerial sightings.
