Authorities in the United States are using the release of confidential UFO files as a story that serves political purposes. In this way, they fulfill the desire of a segment of the electorate that is very proactive on this topic, while USPresident Donald Trumpscores some points and perhaps also covers up some issues, as many people would rather choose a science fiction thriller than the bitter reality.

The documents were released as part of the White House’s UFO Transparency Initiative, a declassification program implemented by President Trump’s administration. In addition to reviewing reports from the 1960s, a period of peak UFO sightings worldwide, the documents also include eyewitness accounts.

In addition to statements about spacecraft, there are also testimonies of beings about a meter tall emerging from them. Among the testimonies are descriptions of unknown metallic materials and the alleged remains of crashed “flying saucers.”

Among the hundreds of pages of documents and photographs arenew videos releasedas part of a broader declassification program that also includes military reports and NASA archives.

Although they are presented in a bombastic manner, this is not the first time that, under pressure from the American public, federal services, NASA, the Pentagon, and various other agencies haveopened their files. This has been happening at intervals since the 1950s.

This is a very common case in the US because there is a large community of people who believe that aliens exist and have visited Earth. They also believe that the US government is hiding this from them. Under pressure from these voters, congressmen and various organizations have been pressuring the government to open documents for decades.

Although this is a legitimate request, Trump is using this established practice to show that he is unlocking some documents that have been hidden from the American public.

The US is not the only country to possess such documents, but it has addressed this topic more than any other country, and very seriously, through the Department of War and the US Air Force. They funded projects not only to archive such evidence or recordings but also to actively collect material, including the famous Project Blue Book, which collected people’s testimonies and recordings for more than a decade. Simply put, at some point, there was a political and economic decision to launch a project to collect it in one place.

In the 1970s, at the request of Congress, a group of researchers examined the material collected up to that time. They found no credible evidence that the objects were of extraterrestrial origin and found no physical explanation for what was happening there.
