Trump stated on Friday that his government found UFO documents during a review of materials. He said the first releases should happen soon. The statement was made during a conservative Turning Point USA group event.
In February, Trump ordered U.S. agencies to begin releasing government files on UFOs, after accusing former President Barack Obama of improperly sharing confidential information when Obama said that aliens were 'real' in a podcast interview. Recent Pentagon reports indicated that U.S. government investigations since the end of World War II found no evidence of extraterrestrial technology.
