Donald Trump's latest release of declassified UFO files has renewed scrutiny of one of the most enduring questions in modern science and politics: do aliens exist? The newly published material adds to a growing body of government videos, photographs and encounter reports, but officials continue to stop short of confirming that any of it proves extraterrestrial life.
The release is arriving alongside Sleeping Dog, a secretly filmed documentary about UFO investigator Jeremy Corbell, placing one of the most visible figures in the unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) debate back into the spotlight at a moment when public and political interest is accelerating.
