Trump Confirms UFO Files Will Be Released Soon

President Trump confirmed on stage this week that the release of classified United States government UFO files is actively underway, telling a Turning Point Action crowd that his team has uncovered “many very interesting documents” and that the first releases will begin “very, very soon.” 

The President had directed Secretary of War Pete Hegseth earlier this year to begin the declassification effort tied to UFOs and unexplained aerial phenomena. In a separate Fox News appearance, Trump also confirmed he had just walked out of a meeting about the growing list of dead and missing American scientists with classified access, stating the country would “know in the next week and a half” whether the pattern is random or connected.

That list just grew by one. According to reporting from the Daily Mail, Amy Eskridge, a thirty-four-year-old anti-gravity researcher and president of the Institute for Exotic Science, has now been publicly named as the eleventh case. Eskridge co-founded HoloChron Engineering with her father Richard Eskridge, a retired NASA engineer specializing in plasma physics and fusion technology. The two had previously presented on gravity modification and alleged black projects involving a triangular craft known as the TR3B. Authorities ruled her June 2022 death a self-inflicted gunshot, yet, as noted in the Daily Mail, the police and the medical examiner have never publicly released the full investigation file.

Before her death, Eskridge warned she was being targeted. In a 2020 podcast interview, she described escalating harassment over several years, including intruders in her home, threats, and surveillance by what she believed was a Russian-linked operational group. Both Eskridge and retired British intelligence officer Franc Milburn documented an alleged attack using a directed energy weapon, which reportedly caused burns across her body from powerful microwaves. Milburn later submitted his findings to Congress in 2023, concluding that her death was not a suicide. 

The second major development concerns Los Alamos National Laboratory. According to another article from the Daily Mail, a senior cybersecurity official at the lab died, and his son discovered folders in his belongings marked with references to atmospheric anomalies. The son, identified only as Johnny to protect the family, handed the entire archive to investigative journalist Jeremy Corbell. Corbell reports the package includes internal lab memos, scientific reports, original Polaroid photographs of historical UFO cases, records of high-level meetings discussing UFO propulsion systems at the classified level, references to Russian sightings, crop circle photographs, and a 1987 document titled Illustrations and Photos by the Gulf Breeze Witness documenting disc-shaped craft reported over Florida between 1987 and 1991. Corbell said he spent years verifying the authenticity of the documents before going public.
