  • The administration leverages the 2023 Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Disclosure Act, which established the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office within the Department of Defense to investigate UAP incidents.
  • White House Press Secretary Anna Kelly told Newsweek that President Trump directed the Department of War to begin releasing files, asserting he is "the most transparent President in history."
  • A 2024 Pentagon report found no evidence of extraterrestrial technology, though the disclosure push follows public debate sparked by former President Barack Obama's recent comments on alien life.
