US Edition'Not on My Bingo Card': Hegseth Comments on Being Tasked with Releasing Files on UFOs
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the Pentagon is reviewing UFO and unidentified aerial phenomena files following President Trump's directive amid rising public interest.
- On Monday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the Defense Department is sorting files on unidentified aerial phenomena and possible extraterrestrial life after President Donald Trump ordered their release last week.
- Former President Barack Obama’s recent interview reignited interest in aliens, while a 2021 Pew Research Center survey found 65 percent of Americans believe intelligent life may exist.
- When asked about staffing and timing, Hegseth said `We've got our people working on it right now` and affirmed the department will comply with the executive order but has no set timeline, saying `stand by`.
- The Pentagon's All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office maintains it has found no evidence of extraterrestrial technology, and officials have promised more transparency without setting a timetable for file releases.
- Historically, secrecy around Area 51, a top-secret Cold War test site in Nevada, has long fueled theories, with the CIA acknowledging its 8,000-square-mile size in 2013 and David Grusch reigniting scrutiny in 2023.
