Donald Trump Announced on February 19, 2026, the Release of Secret Files on UFOs and Extraterrestrial Life, Directing the Department of Defense to Identify and Possibly Declassify Documents Kept Secret for Decades
President Donald Trump announced on February 19, 2026, that he will release secret government files on UFOs and possible extraterrestrial life, directing the Department of Defense to identify and release documents related to unexplained aerial phenomena.
Trump Directs Release of Files on UFOs and Extraterrestrial Life
Donald Trump stated on his platform Truth Social that he will instruct the Department of Defense and other federal agencies to begin the process of identifying and releasing documents related to unexplained sightings and alleged encounters with extraterrestrials.
In the post, he stated that, based on the substantial interest shown, he will instruct the Secretary of War and relevant departments to begin releasing files linked to alien life, Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs), and Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs).

The message was shared by the official White House account on February 20, 2026. The announcement signals new transparency regarding unexplained observations in the sky, a topic that has drawn attention in Washington for years.
Department of Defense May Declassify Materials Kept for Decades
The Department of Defense, headquartered at the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, has overseen various investigations into UAPs in recent years. Trump’s directive may result in the declassification of materials that have remained sealed for decades.
The White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, echoed the announcement on the platform X, calling it out-of-this-world news. So far, no official timeline has been released for new revelations.
Interest in UFOs and possible evidence of extraterrestrial life has been growing in both the Executive and Legislative branches, expanding the public debate on unidentified aerial phenomena.
Political Conflict After Barack Obama’s Comments
Trump’s statement came hours after criticisms aimed at former President Barack Obama. In an interview with Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy, Trump accused Obama of leaking confidential information.
According to Trump, Obama should not be making statements on the subject and would not know if they are real or not. He stated that he could relieve himself from problems by declassifying the documents.
Obama had previously commented that extraterrestrial life was real, but clarified that he had not personally seen any evidence. He said the statement occurred during a rapid-fire and casual Q&A session.
The former president added that, statistically, the universe is vast and the chances of life beyond Earth are good. The exchange heightened the political tension surrounding the topic.
Discussion on Possible Prepared Speech
The debate gained new momentum when Lara Trump suggested that Trump had prepared a speech on extraterrestrial life and spacecraft. In an interview with the podcast Pod Force One, she stated that she had heard the president would reveal something at the right moment.
Later, Karoline Leavitt stated that the idea of a prepared speech was new to her. There has been no official confirmation regarding a specific speech related to UFOs.
Capitol Pressure and UAP Hearings
Parliamentary interest in UFOs and UAPs has been increasing in the Capitol. In 2023, the House Oversight Committee held a hearing with former intelligence officer David Grusch.
Grusch alleged that the Pentagon and other agencies conducted, for several decades, a reverse engineering effort on non-human technology recovered from crash sites. He claimed direct involvement in recovery programs. The Pentagon denied the allegations.
In 2022, the House Intelligence Subcommittee held the first hearing on UFOs in over 50 years. Officials responsible for the Pentagon task force investigating UAPs testified before lawmakers.
Despite renewed scrutiny and the political debate involving Trump and other leaders, there is still no conclusive scientific evidence confirming the existence of life beyond Earth, keeping the topic at the center of public and institutional discussions.
