Donald Trump's supporters and UFO enthusiasts are poring over fresh clues from Washington, after a little-known White House-linked domain, alien.gov, suddenly began throwing encrypted error messages this week, fuelling speculation that the president is preparing to release long-promised UFO files.
Alien.gov had long appeared dormant, returning nothing of note when curious users typed it into their browsers. That changed when the site began serving an SSL error, a technical response that typically indicates a website is active behind a security certificate rather than simply non-existent. In the conspiratorial corners of the internet, that was more than enough to trigger a wave of theories that officials are quietly readying an official portal for Donald Trump's UFO files.
The altered behaviour of alien.gov was quickly spotted and dissected on Reddit, particularly on forums devoted to extra-terrestrial sightings and government secrecy. Users shared screenshots of the error page, which warns: 'The web server reported that an error occurred while trying to access the website. Please return to the previous page.'
To most people, it is a mildly irritating dead end. To the UFO community, it looks like a locked door just about to open.
Several posters argued that the change suggests 'deployment might be close,' in reference to an anticipated release of UFO files. Another user wrote that they 'hope it comes soon,' speculating that any unveiling could follow a future 'disclosure speech' by Trump.
There is, it should be stressed, no official confirmation that alien.gov is linked to any planned release of UFO documents, or even that it is being actively managed for that purpose.
Yet the timing is awkwardly convenient. Just days before chatter around alien.gov intensified, Trump himself had again dangled the prospect of declassification before a friendly audience.
Speaking at a Turning Point event in Arizona on Friday, 17 April, Trump reminded the crowd that he had ordered the release of government files on UFOs and what US agencies now call 'unexplained aerial phenomena.'
He told attendees he had instructed US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to 'begin releasing government files relating to UFOs and unexplained aerial phenomena.'
Trump went further, claiming the process was already moving, 'I'm pleased to report today... that this process is well underway and we found many very interesting documents.'
