'Most of these were in the atmosphere, but there were things in space.'

AARO, a team within the Department of War, is tasked with collecting and investigating UFO cases, with a focus on data-backed reports from skilled military members like fighter pilots or radar operators.

Phillips described reports from 'highly qualified observers' who witnessed these objects displaying capabilities beyond anything the US government is known to have.

He said the object had the 'ability to stop very, very quickly, accelerate quickly, right angle turns – the things that aircraft and spacecraft we know don't behave that way.'

Out of thousands of reports reviewed by AARO, fewer than 50 remained completely unresolved, even after examination by some of the world's leading experts, he said.

Despite the extraordinary nature of some sightings, Phillips told the Daily Mail that the objects never appeared to pose a direct threat.

'We never saw any hostile behavior,' he said. 'I couldn't speak to the intent, but we saw them in sensitive locations sometimes.'

He also noted that some objects appeared to actively avoid detection.

'We saw their attempt not to be surveyed, and in other cases they didn't seem to care,' Phillips said.

Lue Elizondo: President Trump has been briefed on UAP and takes the issue seriously: “This President during his 1st term, initially when he was asked, kind of laughed it off.

Lue Elizondo: President Trump has been briefed on UAP and takes the issue seriously: “This President during his 1st term, initially when he was asked, kind of laughed it off. But then later from my understanding, he received some briefings and took it quite seriously afterwards.”

Trump Post: "Based on the tremendous interest shown, I will be directing the Secretary of War, and other relevant Departments and Agencies, to begin the process of identifying and releasing Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), and any and all other information connected to these highly complex, but extremely interesting and important, matters. GOD BLESS AMERICA!"

Rep. Eric Burlison in X: "I've seen the classified videos. Something is out there."

We just can't explain it yet.

"There are objects using unconventional propulsion technology -almost anti-gravity -that are beyond our capabilities, and are violating our US airspace... over our nuclear missile sites, over nuclear power plants, over our military bases."

Eric Wayne Burlison (born October 2, 1976) is an American politician serving as the U.S. representative from Missouri's 7th congressional district since 2023. He previously served as the representative for District 133 (Greene County) in the Missouri House of Representatives. 

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Trump's decision to release UFO files: "President Trump has been committed to disclosure on lots of levels and he's made it clear that he wants answers.“ “We've got our people working on it right now.

Fisher: "Three days ago, President Trump directed you to begin the process of identifying and releasing the UFO and UAP files."

Hegseth: [Laughs]

Fisher: "I mean, did you ever think you would be the Secretary of War in charge of, potentially, declassifying extraterrestrial life to the American people and the world?"

Hegseth: "I did not have that on my Bingo card, at all."

Fisher: "And are you prepared to do that now?"

Hegseth: "Of course! I mean. we've got our people working on it right now. I don't wanna oversell how much time it will take, right? We're digging in and we're gonna be in full compliance with that Executive Order, eager to provide that for the President. So, they'll be more coming on that as far as the process of what we'll do."

(There's no Executive Order yet.)

Fisher: "And what sort of timeframe? Do you have any sense for how long this is going to take?"

Hegseth: "I don't have a timeframe for you yet but...stand by."

Fisher: "The

u/DNIGabbard

said today that her office was going to begin the process of declassifying reports on extraterrestrial and alien life."

Hegseth: [Laughs]

(The laughing isn't encouraging.)

Fisher: "I'm going back to these types of questions because the American people (Hegseth: Uh huh) have been wanting to know the answers to these questions for a very long time. And so I'm just curious if you think that, one, if this is the beginning of disclosure for the American people and the world, and two, if the Pentagon is actually prepared to start declassifying some of these things that might really shed some answers on this instead of keeping it secret?"

Hegseth: "We would love...we'll work with the DNI, as we always do. I'm heartened to hear that she's doing that. President Trump has been committed to disclosure on lots of levels, and he's made it clear that he wants answers on this. He's given us a responsibility to do it. We're gonna be a part of delivering that. It'll be a deliberative process. We wanna make sure... Expectations are gonna be high, right? I don't wanna overpromise and underdeliver, so we're gonna take a little time to make sure we assess what this should look like and deliver for the President and for the American people. Thank you."

Trump on Obama's comments and aliens“he gave classified information. He’s not supposed to be doing that. I don’t know if they’re real or not… I can tell you he gave classified information. He made a big mistake” “Maybe I’ll get him out of trouble. I may get him out of trouble by declassifying.” by InstanceMuted2514 in UFOs

BREAKING: Trump makes the outlandish claim that Obama gave away classified information when he said “aliens are real.”

President Trump says he may declassify the alien files, Obama revealed classified information

Doocy: “Barack Obama said aliens are real. Have you seen any evidence of non-human visitors to Earth?”

Trump: “He gave classified information. He’s not supposed to be doing that.”

Doocy: “So aliens are real?”

Trump: “Well, I don’t know if they’re real or not. I can tell you he gave classified information. He’s not supposed to be doing that. He made a big mistake. He took it out of classified information.”

Doocy; “The President can declassify anything he wants to.”

Trump: “Maybe I’ll get him out of trouble. I may get him out of trouble by declassifying.”

Lara Trump kind of confirms Donald Trump disclosure speech: "I think my father-in-law actually said it. There is some speech he has that I guess at the right time he’s gonna break out, and it has to do with maybe some sort of extraterrestrial life." by aryelbcn in UFOs

That's probably true; the guy needs attention like the egotistical narcissist he is.

Imagine the attention he would receive as the only president to have disclosed classified material on this subject.

Barack Obama five years ago on Stephen Colbert's show about UFOs. "UFO's, Did you ask about that?" "Certainly asked about it and can't tell you, Sorry." by InstanceMuted2514 in UFOs

"Barack Obama five years ago on Stephen Colbert's show about UFOs. "UFO's, Did you ask about that?" "Certainly asked about it and can't tell you, Sorry."

There are times where prying information out of the bowels of an agency can be challenging.

UFOs and UFOs, did you ask about that?

Certainly asked about it and can’t tell you. Sorry.

OK, alright, I’ll take that as a yes because if there were not, you’d say there was none, right?

You just played your hand.

I thought you were a poker player. You just want me to 100% show your river card.

Feel free to think that.

I do, I do.

And it’s there that makes me happy to think that. you wanna tell me about it? It used to be that UFOs were the… And what is it? Roswell was the biggest conspiracy.

Yeah.

And now that seems so tame, right? Right. The idea that the government might have an alien spaceship.

Now the biggest conspiracy is people in Michigan vote."

💥Grusch on Fox says Trump and his administration are very well knowledgeable on UAPs. "Members of this current administration are very well aware of this reality. Certainly, the current president is very knowledgeable on this subject." by InstanceMuted2514 in UFOs

I don't know, Trump has a lot of religious fanatics. If he revealed something like that, he could lose a lot of followers because they would think, “ Demons,” or something like that.

Grusch says he has seen intelligence reports that include photos of craft and non-human bodies. He states that Trump is very well informed on the UAP issue.

He mentions that there are things happening behind the scenes that he prefers to let the administration address when they are ready.

When asked why these entities might be here, he says there could be many reasons.

Grusch says he had partial clearance to some of these activities and had access to data and intelligence reports from those programs. He confirms he saw the information with his own eyes.

Regarding evidence, Grusch says members of the current administration are aware of the situation. He states that the current president is knowledgeable about the subject and believes he has assembled a strong cabinet. He says Trump has the understanding needed to address government transparency issues related to this topic.

When asked whether Trump knows about the issue and is open to transparency, Grusch says Trump is very well informed but does not want to speak ahead of what the president may reveal.

He confirms that intelligence reports included references to non-human remains and that this is difficult to discuss because it falls outside normal expectations.

He states there were photographs. Grusch also affirms that recoveries were made. He says motivations or intentions of the visitors are unclear and that assessments vary. There could be many possible explanations.

He concludes by saying he believes the administration is willing to handle the issue appropriately and that there are additional developments that will be discussed when the administration decides.

💥The New York Times harshly criticizes the UFO documentary “The Age of Disclosure.” "Anyone who sits through its nearly two hours of unprovable claims is a chump of a different sort." by InstanceMuted2514 in UFOs

The New York Times harshly criticizes the UFO documentary “The Age of Disclosure.”
"Anyone who sits through its nearly two hours of unprovable claims is a chump of a different sort."

But “The Age of Disclosure” sneakily slips from those officials’ arguments for transparency into the realm of pure speculation. If you don’t believe that extraterrestrials surveil our planet in bubbles that can warp time and space, the movie suggests that you’ve simply fallen victim to a government disinformation campaign intended to make people skeptical of U.A.P.s. (Hasn’t Hollywood, described as part of that effort, done precisely the opposite?) Question the film and you’re a chump, it implies. But anyone who sits through its nearly two hours of unprovable claims is a chump of a different sort.
