President Donald Trump announced April 17 that he expects his administration to begin releasing documents “very soon” related to extraterrestrial life and unexplained phenomena.
“As you remember, I recently directed the Secretary of War … to begin releasing government files relating to UFOs and unexplained aerial phenomena,” Trump told an audience in Phoenix, Arizona. “I’m pleased to report today … that this process is well underway and we’ve found many very interesting documents, I must say. And, the first releases will begin very, very soon.”
Trump made the remarks at an event with Turning Point Action, an affiliate of Turning Point USA.
The president ordered government agencies to release information about UFOs and related phenomena in a Feb. 19 Truth Social post. Tremendous interest in the files prompted Trump to issue the directive to release files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, he said.
The U.S. government holds thousands of documents related to historical reports about the subjects of unidentified flying objects and alien phenomenon, including more than 12,600 reports from Project Blue Book, which took place from 1947 to 1969. The public can already access some of the publicrecords, photos, and sounds at the National Archives.
The buzz over revealing more evidence comes days afterArtemis IImade its historic voyage around the moon, stirring the public’s interest in space discovery.
Trump’s announcement, however, fell flat with UFO investigator Donald Schmitt,who said he had “very little hope” the documents would prove anything more than what has already been released to the public.
“They’re just documents,” Schmitt told The Epoch Times. “They don’t prove anything. We need to stop dancing around the idea that we want to see the files or documents. … I want to hold a piece of the hardware. I want to see a tissue sample. Take me to where you’re preserving the bodies after all these years.”
“That’s what this should come down to,” Schmitt said. “Otherwise this is just song and dance.”
