President Trump’s administration has registered aliens.gov as a government domain for declassifying UFO files, marking an unprecedented shift toward transparency on phenomena the federal establishment has hidden from American citizens for decades.
Trump Orders Historic UFO Disclosure Initiative
President Trump issued a formal directive in February 2026 ordering Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and federal agencies to declassify UFO, UAP, and extraterrestrial-related files. The order mandates comprehensive searches for radar data, infrared imagery, historical records, and information on alien life across military and intelligence agencies. This directive represents a dramatic departure from decades of government secrecy, positioning the Trump administration as committed to revealing what previous establishments concealed. Hegseth confirmed Pentagon compliance and signaled urgency through social media, even using an alien emoji to acknowledge the initiative’s momentum.
Aliens.gov Domains Registered as Disclosure Hub
The White House registered aliens.gov and alien.gov domains in March 2026 through the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, hosting them on Cloudflare infrastructure. CISA confirmed the domains’ legitimacy despite a .gov request freeze caused by federal funding lapses, demonstrating the administration’s determination to prioritize transparency. While the domains remain inactive as functional websites, White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly instructed Americans to “stay tuned” alongside an alien emoji. The registration positions these domains as a future clearinghouse for declassified materials, distinct from the existing All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office portal that handles ongoing UAP reports.
Decades of Government Secrecy Face Reckoning
Federal interest in UFOs stretches back to post-World War II, with records archived across National Archives collections including Record Group 615, established by the 2024 NDAA specifically for UAP materials. Recent incidents intensified scrutiny, including the 2023 F-16 shootdown over Lake Huron and drone swarms at Langley Air Force Base that revealed gaps in airspace security. The Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, launched in 2022 under the Biden administration, focused on national security risks but maintained traditional secrecy. Trump’s approach contrasts sharply, promising public access to military data and historical files that bureaucrats previously shielded from taxpayers who funded their collection.
Rally Promise Builds Anticipation Without Timeline
At a Turning Point USA event in Phoenix in April 2026, Trump announced the first document batch would arrive “very, very soon,” describing the materials as “very interesting” without providing specifics. This public commitment energizes Americans frustrated by government opacity on phenomena that may impact national security and scientific understanding. The lack of a concrete timeline reflects the complexity of coordinating declassification across agencies with histories of resistance to transparency. Trump’s willingness to personally champion disclosure at rallies signals this initiative carries executive weight, not just bureaucratic process, addressing mounting public concerns that establishment figures dismissed for generations.

The disclosure initiative tests whether the Trump administration can overcome institutional resistance to transparency and deliver on promises to restore government accountability. Federal agencies now face presidential direction to search archives and prepare materials, with the registered domains awaiting content that could reshape public understanding of UAP phenomena and government knowledge. While skeptics note past Pentagon denials of extraterrestrial claims, the formal directive and domain registration demonstrate tangible steps beyond rhetoric, positioning this effort as potentially transformative for Americans’ right to know what their government discovered about unexplained aerial objects and possible extraterrestrial activity over seventy-plus years of investigation.
