No, These Are Not Hoaxes! Trump Orders Release of Alien and UFO Files
Date: Thursday, 19 February 2026
What Happened
After a tongue‑in‑cheek remark by his predecessor Barack Obama—who jokingly confirmed that extraterrestrials are “real” but that he has “not seen them”—Donald Trump, the current President of the United States, announced on his Truth Social platform that he will order federal agencies to locate and publish all files related to extraterrestrials and UFOs.
The story began last weekend during a podcast when former Democratic President Barack Obama said, in a joking tone, that “extraterrestrials are real,” adding that he has “not seen them” and that, to his knowledge, there is no “underground installation” hiding their existence, as some conspiracy theories claim.
The comment spread like wildfire, igniting a heated debate across the United States and eventually reaching audiences worldwide.
Trump’s Response
In an interview yesterday, President Trump was asked to comment on Obama’s statement. The Republican leader replied that Obama had disclosed “classified information” and “made a huge mistake.”
Against this backdrop, Trump posted on Truth Social that he has decided to request the declassification and public release of these documents, citing “the public interest generated” and responding to decades‑long demands from Americans for transparency—especially after Obama’s recent remarks.
“Given the interest this has sparked, I am directing the relevant agencies to identify and publish all relevant files,” Trump wrote.
Will There Be Surprises?
All signs point to a major revelation. But why now? Observers are offering more than one theory:
- Conventional View: The timing of such a massive disclosure is perfect for diverting public attention from the scandal surrounding the Epstein case.
- Alternative View: Those labeled “conspiracy theorists” by Obama believe that the government has been hiding profound secrets, and that breaking the silence now could be a prelude to something far more serious.
