Donald Trump has directed the Pentagon and other government agencies to begin releasing files related to aliens, UFOs, and extraterrestrial life, citing "tremendous interest." This decision follows comments made by former President Barack Obama on a podcast where he discussed the existence of aliens.
Trump accused Obama of revealing "classified" information and suggested that declassifying these files might help Obama "get out of trouble." Obama, in his interview, stated that while statistically life elsewhere is probable, he saw no evidence of extraterrestrial contact during his presidency. He clarified that aliens are not being kept in Area 51 and that there are no underground facilities for them.
The article also touches upon past instances where Obama was asked about aliens, including a recollection from Will Smith.
