Trump Confirms UFO Files Drop Is Coming Soon

President Donald Trump confirmed in the Oval Office this week that the long-promised UFO files are about to be released. Trump made the comments during a White House event celebrating the Artemis 2 crew’s flight around the Moon. When a reporter asked for an update on the UFO files, Trump answered that the administration is going to be releasing as much as it can in the near future, and that some of the material will be very interesting to people. Trump first ordered the disclosure back in February, but months later, the public has yet to see a single document or video from the promised release.

A moment from that same press conference has gone viral. Trump stated that pilots he had spoken to had seen incredible things, referring to UFOs. Crew members, NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, and Christina Koch exchanged subtle glances. Some viewers online interpreted those looks as a quiet acknowledgment, while others read them as surprise.

On the same day, Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna sat down for a long form interview with journalist Miranda Devine on Pod Force One. According to that interview, Luna told Devine she has personally observed evidence inside a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility, also known as a SCIF, that she believes is of non-human origin and creation. Luna corrected the framing when asked about aliens, choosing instead to refer to the witnesses’ description of interdimensional beings.

Reference to News Nation, former Pentagon UAP program lead Luis Elizondo confirmed in a televised interview that intimidation against whistleblowers is real, and that he himself has been targeted with threats, drones, and surveillance. Elizondo identified himself as a trained intelligence officer and former counterintelligence special agent, stating he understands the tools of the trade. He also pushed back on a viral list of twelve missing or deceased scientists, noting that several of those cases can be ruled out, but that the remaining cases deserve real investigation. Per insights from Elizondo, the activity may amount to garden variety espionage, with Russia, China, and other hostile foreign intelligence services targeting people who work on advanced propulsion research. However, China is reportedly facing similar incidents on its own soil, with at least ten scientists dying under suspicious circumstances. If the espionage theory holds, the targeting appears to be moving in both directions.

Also on News Nation, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Chris Mellon called the UAP issue categorically real. Mellon described weeks of activity by unidentified craft over Langley Air Force Base that the Air Force could not explain, and confirmed the Department of War has filmed triangular craft and orbs it cannot identify. On the timeline of disclosure, Mellon warned the release will take time and may not be as extensive as the public is hoping for.
