New Claims Trump Has a UFO Speech Ready

A claim that has circulated for months is back in the spotlight. According to UK filmmaker Mark Christopher Lee, President Trump has a UFO disclosure speech written and ready, one that would confirm the government holds recovered craft and beings that are not from Earth. Lee has been predicting a Trump disclosure moment since the start of this year, and he notes that back in January he said the Pentagon would begin releasing UFO files in the spring, which did happen. He now describes the alleged draft as a form of soft disclosure that would reference past incidents such as the Navy’s Tic Tac encounter and the East Coast sightings, explain the years of secrecy, announce new declassification steps and a task force, and frame the subject not as a threat but as a chance to unite humanity.

Lee named aerospace billionaire Robert Bigelow, a major donor to Trump’s campaign, as one of his sources, and said Bigelow has taken credit for convincing the president to prepare the speech. That detail lines up with reporting from Rolling Stone, referenced in yesterday’s update, describing a December 2025 meeting between Bigelow and cabinet member Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that reportedly turned to UFOs. About two months later, Trump signed his directive ordering the file releases. Lee has been careful to add a warning, admitting he was, in his own words, misled by a Washington insider source who fed him earlier dates and then stopped taking his calls. He has said he is not one hundred percent certain of the current claim.

The pattern concerns some observers. According to Eli Karetny, a political scientist and acting director of the Ralph Bunche Institute at the City University of New York, the June 9th briefing with whistleblower David Grusch had what he called a staged quality, unfolding in careful stages rather than all at once. Lee argues the timing serves a purpose, letting Washington frame UFOs as a shared threat to allies and get ahead of Russia and China in what he calls a UFO Cold War.

France offered a something different. On June 29, members of parliament Pierre Henriette and Arnaud Saint-Martin hosted a four hour session on UAP inside the National Assembly, the first of its kind in French parliamentary history, drawing roughly 250 people. Speakers from the European Space Agency and a French commission urged pilots to report sightings, and France noted its nearly fifty year old public office for studying reports, known as GEIPAN, housed within its space agency. During a question period, naval historian Alexandre Sheldon-Duplaix asked why the panel had not mentioned American developments that same week, pointing to Representative Anna Paulina Luna’s request to protect whistleblowers and to Grusch’s testimony describing beings as walking humanlike forms or plasma-like entities. According to the account, the question was met with silence.

The public readiness question was also tested. According to a new national poll of more than 3000 adults released this month, more than 8in10 Americans said disclosure would be positive or have no measurable impact, while only about 6% expected a breakdown of civil society. The same study reported that active duty military members and veterans describe witnessing these phenomena at far higher rates than civilians. Karetny’s concern is that framing the subject only as a threat hands power to whoever promises protection from it.
