To the shock of the world, on February 19, 2026, US President Donald Trump ordered federal agencies to start declassifying and releasing government documents on aliens, UFOs, and unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs).

Posting to Truth Social, Trump said that he was instructing the Secretary of War and the other departments and agencies to start the process of locating and publishing government files regarding alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), unidentified flying objects (UFOs), and any and all other information touching on these very complicated, yet incredibly interesting and significant, issues.

The order was issued hours after Trump attacked former President Barack Obama, who argued that aliens were real in a recent podcast interview. On the plane on Air Force One, Trump said he did not know whether aliens existed but alleged that Obama had classified information that had to remain secret, suggesting that he could trick him into releasing it, meaning to declassify it.

Trump stressed the demand of the people, pointing out no particular schedule of appearance. The identification process is assigned to the agency, such as the Pentagon and the Department of Defense. This is after decades of congressional scrutiny, Pentagon reports on unexplained aerial phenomena, and increasing demands to be open about unidentified aerial phenomena.

Although past administrations had published a few materials on UAP (most having concluded that the evidence did not show any alien origins), the order signed by Trump may reveal additional historical or secret documents. The general response has been buzzing-appropriate; some are glad that there has been the first honesty in a long time; others think that it is a diversion, a political trick.

The Pentagon did not give any urgent confirmation regarding implementation. With expectations, this may become the biggest drive so far towards UFO/UAP transparency with a US president. It's still unknown whether it will tell of revolutionary evidence or it will be some regular reports—but the alien files are coming along at last!
