President Donald Trump said in the US in February that federal agencies should begin identifying and releasing classified files on UFO sightings and possible extraterrestrial activity, yet weeks later no such records have been made public, according to CNN and a later report by Moneycontrol. The gap between the promise and the paperwork is now the story, and it is a familiar pattern whenever national security records are involved.
The latest surge of interest began after former president Barack Obama joked on a podcast that aliens were 'real,' then clarified that he meant the statistical likelihood of life elsewhere in the universe, a remark that circulated online and fed a fresh cycle of speculation. Trump then said government agencies should start releasing records tied to UFOs and extraterrestrial life, raising expectations that long-rumoured files might finally move into public view.
