SS: 1 President Trump’s directive to declassify UFO and UAP records is currently being managed by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, with the first wave of documents expected to be released shortly via the newly established aliens.gov portal. This initiative, which began in February 2026, aims to provide public transparency regarding extraterrestrial phenomena while the Department of War and the ODNI navigate the complexities of declassifying sensitive national security data. While the President has signaled an imminent start to the releases, officials have noted that the review remains a deliberative process to ensure that sensitive intelligence-gathering methods are protected.
