The White House confirms the forthcoming declassification of official UFO files and recognizes the growing public interest in possible extraterrestrial evidence
The Artemis II mission was launched in early April and lasted ten days, during which the Orion capsule reached the longest distance traveled by human beings from Earth, in a key milestone for evaluating both the ship's systems and the behavior of the crew in deep space.
In an announcement that puts the United States back at the center of the global debate over unidentified aerial phenomena (UFOs), the president Donald Trump assured that his Government will “soon” publish official files linked to them, in line with a policy aimed at expanding access to information of public interest.
The president made these statements this Tuesday at the White House, during an official reception in the Oval Office to the astronauts of the Artemis II mission, at an institutional event that, however, ended up acquiring international relevance due to the announcement linked to UFOs.Asked about the growing public interest in these phenomena, Trump confirmed that his administration is already reviewing classified documentation. “People want to know about UFOs and we're going to publish a lot of things that we have. Some of them will be very interesting,” said the president, without specifying details about the content of the files or the exact schedule for their publication.
The declaration came as part of an act aimed at recognizing the crew of Artemis II, the first manned mission to fly around the Moon in more than 50 years, reinforcing the context of technological advances and space exploration in which the
announcement is inserted.During the meeting, the president highlighted the work of the four astronauts who participated in the mission: Reid Wiseman (commander), Victor Glover (pilot), Christina Koch (mission specialist and first woman to participate in a lunar mission) and Jeremy Hansen, astronaut of the Canadian Space Agency.
This flight is part of NASA's Artemis program, whose objective is to complete the return of astronauts to the lunar surface before the end of the decade, with 2028 as the reference date for the next phases of exploration.
Beyond advances in space matters, the central focus of the announcement was on the future publication of information about UFOs and possible evidence linked to extraterrestrial life, a topic that has historically been
the subject of speculation and state secrecy.During the event at the White House, no new measures related to the space program were announced, which further reinforced the impact of the president's words. In this context, the decision to move towards the declassification of UFO files is presented as a high-impact political gesture, aligned with a strategy of informational openness that seeks to respond to a growing demand from society
