Donald Trump has ordered the US government to begin releasing long-classified UFO files, a move that could see satellite photographs and gun-camera videos of unidentified craft made public in the coming weeks. The directive, issued two weeks ago in Washington and placed under the control of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, has set off a scramble inside key departments, with agencies still unable to confirm precisely what will be published or when.
At the centre of the latest claims is Christopher Mellon, a former deputy assistant secretary of defence for intelligence under the Clinton and George W Bush administrations, who says the government is sitting on a 'massive' trove of UFO records, including 'stunning photos and videos' that have never been made public. Among them, he claims, are satellite images apparently capturing unconventional craft in space above Earth that are 'obviously not manmade', though he has not provided the images themselves, nor specified dates, locations or which satellites recorded them, and none of those details have been independently verified.
