Inside Trump's order to release the UFO files
Is Disclosure Day finally upon us? Can we now expect a document dump proving the US government's relationships with space aliens?
Last week, news outlets widely reported that Trump has ordered the public release of all the government’s “UFO files.”
In fact, all he did was tweet about it on his own social media network:
This was (so far, anyway) not accompanied by any kind of executive order or formal declassification order. There is no memorandum, no legal instrument, no procedures or deadlines or anything that might result in a document release. In short, this appears to have been simply another case of ad-libbed verbal diarrhea — much like his more recent tweet that he’s sending a US “hospital boat” to assist with “the many people who are sick, and not being taken care of” in Greenland (there is no health crisis in Greenland, and both US hospital ships are in long-term maintenance in Alabama).
Like most of his spurious tweets, both these examples were preceded by a trigger. Hours before his Greenland tweet, a rescue helicopter from Denmark evacuated a US sailor from an unnamed American nuclear submarine, taking him to a hospital in Nuuk, Greenland for emergency treatment. Trump apparently misunderstood what happened, or just didn’t care. Greenland’s prime minister responded by suggesting that Trump actually speak to someone next time “instead of just making more or less random outbursts on social media.”
Similarly, the UFO tweet was triggered by Barack Obama’s appearance on liberal YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen’s video in which Obama stated that he feels aliens probably are real — a perspective shared by the vast majority of astronomers, simply due to the sheer vastness of the universe. Asked about Obama’s comment by reporters aboard Air Force One a few hours later, Trump responded that Obama “made a big mistake” by giving away “classified information” but that he might “get him out of trouble by declassifying.”
And thus the tweet about releasing the UFO files.
Trump’s tweet is no doubt being celebrated in UFOlogy circles where it is being celebrated as proof that “disclosure” is now imminent. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna is among the members of the Congressional UFO caucus who are confident that aliens visit the Earth regularly, citing long-debunked UFO videos as evidence. She asserts that in closed classified briefings she has been shown proof of “interdimensional aliens” who can “can operate through the timespaces that we currently have,” though it’s unclear what she means by “timespace.” The video she is most impressed with shows a probable Houthi Samad drone being struck by a Hellfire missile fired from an RQ-9 Reaper off the coast of Yemen in October 2024. The missile did not detonate because it uses an impact trigger and most of the Samad is very lightly constructed, but it caused enough mechanical damage that the drone did crash. UFOlogists like Luna claim it was an alien UFO which “deflected” the Hellfire and continued flying with no damage — something directly contradicted by the video.
It is unlikely that Trump’s UFO tweet will result in any kind of document release, but if somehow it does, this is the quality of what we can expect.
This would all be funny if I were reading a novel.
Trump is really scraping the bottom of the for distractions from the Epstein Files.
