Opinion or hypothesis Disclosure process
Partly verified
Trump announced on February 19, 2026 that he intended to start the identification and release of government files on extraterrestrial life, UAP and UFOs, and in July 2026 he ordered the waiver of NDAs, but there is no record of an order to release “all” the information, and his intentions cannot be verified.
- In support
- Since May 8, 2026, the Pentagon has been publishing the files on the PURSUE portal (seven tranches by October 23, 2026).
- Against or denials
- The published files are officially presented as “unresolved cases” and do not confirm the existence of extraterrestrial life.
