Trump Wants Credit for UFO Truth

Donald Trump’s agenda extends far beyond tariffs and trade wars. Behind the scenes in Washington, the president is orchestrating what may be his most audacious political gambit yet: seizing complete control of the government’s most classified UFO programs. According to confidential sources cited in a credible Italian report L’Espresso, Trump has launched “Project Preserve Destiny” — an unprecedented operation to transfer Pentagon-controlled Special Access Programs directly to the Oval Office. The project involves six levels of secrecy that range from public “fairy tales” to “programs within programs” so compartmentalized they’ve remained inaccessible even to sitting presidents.
This institutional power shift comes as Congressman Eric Burlison publicly confirms what many have long suspected. Speaking at a Sol Foundation event, Burlison declared he “fully believes that there is a crash retrieval program” and expressed confidence in its existence. While uncertain about what these programs actually retrieve, Burlison acknowledged the possibility that some materials could represent non-human intelligence, though most likely belong to American test programs or foreign adversaries. The congressman’s bold statements signal a dramatic shift in official discourse around UAP phenomena.
The timing appears deliberately calculated. Trump is reportedly “intrigued by the possibility of using the UFO issue to portray himself as the president finally telling Americans the truth.” This strategy coincides with renewed congressional pressure, as Senators Mike Rounds and Chuck Schumer reintroduce the UAP Disclosure Act — legislation alleging secret government programs have retrieved UFOs and biological evidence of non-human intelligence. Unlike previous attempts, this version faces fewer obstacles since Mike Turner, who previously gutted similar legislation, no longer chairs the House Intelligence Committee.
Burlison has made an unprecedented move by hiring David Grusch as a congressional advisor, making him potentially the first UAP whistleblower ever employed by Congress after testifying. Burlison justified this controversial decision by explaining that traditional congressional staff lack the intelligence community expertise needed for this unique investigation. “I need almost a decoder to understand all the acronyms that David Grusch knows so well,” Burlison admitted, describing how he frequently requests translations during their conversations.
The hiring has already produced results. Grusch has met twice with the Pentagon’s AARO office, including what Burlison describes as a “long conversation” — representing a dramatic shift from previous stonewalling when former ARROW director Sean Kirkpatrick claimed Grusch refused cooperation. This engagement suggests Trump’s strategy may be forcing institutional changes across the government.
However, whistleblowers continue facing severe consequences for speaking out. Michael Herrera recently warned others against coming forward, describing how testimonies have made witnesses’ “lives become hell” without compensation or support. “Our lives have taken a huge hit by taking a risk, and we’re not getting money from it,” Herrera stated, emphasizing how whistleblowers lose benefits, pensions, healthcare, and employment after testifying.
Pentagon officials remain officially silent about Project Preserve Destiny, but sources indicate nervousness at the highest levels. Transferring management of such sensitive programs to the White House creates greater risks of leaks, while the line between transparency and propaganda grows increasingly thin. Meanwhile, classified meetings involving “eyes only” briefings continue in shielded offices, as officials grapple with documents covering potentially revolutionary technologies that may not be of terrestrial origin.
Plans for another congressional UFO hearing continue advancing, with Burlison and Luna promising first-hand witnesses who have directly encountered phenomena or handled materials in their official government capacity.
