Burchett calls on Trump to release files on UFOs, aliens: ‘I think America needs to know’

Burchett said he has been briefed on “pretty wild” material and urged agencies to declassify records as Trump ordered the release.

  • On Sunday, President Donald Trump ordered government agencies to begin identifying and releasing files on UFOs and aliens, following an appeal from Representative Tim Burchett for greater transparency.
  • Burchett, a leading advocate for UFO disclosure, stated he has been briefed on "pretty wild" classified material and argued taxpayers deserve to know how their money funds these programs.
  • Reports allege nine scientists tied to advanced research have died or disappeared, while Burchett criticized "alphabet agencies" for contradictory claims about extraterrestrial programs and unidentified phenomena.
  • The Secretary of War and relevant agencies must now identify and release government files on unidentified aerial phenomena, addressing long-standing bureaucratic secrecy.
  • It remains unclear when the government will release the files, though the directive aims to resolve inconsistencies between agencies denying these programs exist and those confirming them.
