Trying to Wrap Your Head Around UFO ‘Disclosure’ Under President Trump

Just writing this headline makes my head hurt, and I can sense my mind taking tremendous psychic damage from it. The Fox Mulder “I want to believe” part of my brain is colliding with the logical regions completing that sentence with “President Donald Trump,” and I can feel my temporal lobes trying to escape out my ears. It is a strange thing, to believe that the government is hiding UFO-related secrets of some sort, then watch Trump’s favorite Fox News anchor disseminate some of them on war dot gov slash UFO which reportedly received 340 million hits in its first 12 hours of existence. It creates a logical conflict any reasonable person must address, because there is no true sentence in the English language that amounts to “Donald Trump is earnestly telling the truth.” I set out to write this blog and think out loud to try to help shield other folks from psychic damage, and create a framework to think about this mess going forward into future releases.

The demise of American media has allowed me to spend more time with my UFO tips from a source who worked a UFO-centric job, and I have been finding more reason to believe that something hidden behind a bunch of Special Access Programs really stinks. United States Air Force Plant 42 is strange for a lot of prosaic reasons, as it is home to our most advanced aerospace tech, and my source told me to look into it the week it was reported in August 2024 that unknown “drones” were completely owning its sensitive airspace and then returning to parts and operators unknown. Christopher Sharp of the Liberation Times obtained a FOIA that unearthed details like how one “drone” hovered over Site 7 for 25 straight undeterred minutes and then disappeared, amidst other revelations that matched what my source told me. “Pay attention to where this happens” is another lead my source volunteered, and when I asked whether they were referencing documented history like UFOs and Nukes, they said yes. The first thing to understand about so-called UFO disclosure under President Trump is that what is happening now specifically started under President Biden, and this is something the government has been investigating since at least the 1940s. 

And this really has nothing to do with the president, as far as we know. Trump is taking credit for these releases, but all he did was sign Congress’ bill into law mandating the DoD release information related to UFOs. This has primarily been driven by a Congress who clearly believes that funds have been misappropriated and that they have been lied to for decades. From the Schumer-Rounds UAPDA, the craziest bill I have ever read, to Tim Burchett, Anna Paulina Luna, and Eric Burlison’s House UFO caucus, there has been a broad ideological swath of congresspeople pushing to release UFO information through a review board similar to the one that processed the JFK assassination. I can even report from my own interactions in more progressive Congressional circles that there’s a real interest in this subject at high levels too. Something is going on, and Congress is saying they think they have been lied to.

The next thing to know about UFO disclosure under Trump is that ultimately, everyone who understands the nature of these programs say that the true power to make things happen lies in the executive branch. Congress has serious subpoena power they refuse to use because they are a self-neutered group of individuals playing the role of serious legislators, but ultimately, the declassification of what the government really knows must be done at the executive level. Whistleblowers like Dylan Borland have all said they will say everything they know if they are granted immunity by the president, but under the current laws, the best outcome for them telling everyone what they know about their life in the black is life in prison. All these guys lose their clearances and any ability to work in their chosen profession once they become whistleblowers, so the idea that they’re grifters leaving their career in government to cash in on that sweet UFO cash is quite literally the opposite of what winds up happening. The office of the president holds immense power, and that is why so many people in UFO land are groveling at Trump’s feet to do something, because he actually really could do a lot if he wanted to, particularly to give cover to the growing group of people saying they saw something they think is messed up and they aren’t allowed to talk about it.

But this next tip is for my UFO audience and not my political one, because those folks who love to play Charlie Brown are watching the most cynical Lucy figure in history set up the football yet again and hoping that this time, she’ll keep the football where she promised it. The main reason why we’re getting UFO disclosure is because Trump’s base expected to be talking about Epstein disclosure by now, and Trump knows he needs to throw more chum into the conspiracy tap water the GOP survives on. Trump could have endorsed Schumer’s UAPDA that had a Republican co-sponsor in Mike Rounds and plenty of other GOP cheerleaders in the House, but it died on the vine for the third straight year. He’s had Eric Burlison and Tim Burchett and Anna Paulina Luna in his ear nonstop since last summer begging him to be the “disclosure president,” and if he had any interest in this subject—intellectual or political—he would have done this earlier. But he didn’t. 

Jeffrey Epstein’s best friend could have done a lot of the stuff he’s doing now when he entered office, but he doesn’t give a shit. About UFOs. About Epstein’s victims. About you. About me. About anything that doesn’t serve his extremely superficial worldview centered around enriching himself and filling the bottomless black void punctured in his soul by Fred Trump. This entire broken family’s lodestar is vacuous and corrupt self-interest, and anyone thinking that Trump is doing UFO disclosure for any reason other than to help himself understands 2026 America about as well as a bunch of aliens who just arrived here from Zeta Reticuli.

And while we have been promised big bombshells by Tim Burchett in some unknown future—something the UFO world definitely hasn’t heard before—the two big data drops from war dot gov so far have been total duds. I wrote about the first one the day it dropped and wanted to take time parsing through all of it before writing about it again, but there’s nothing of real substance in there worth writing about. If you told me the Pentagon released a bunch of obviously explainable and contextless stuff in order to get everyone to stop asking them about UFOs, I’d believe you. Some videos look like something in them could be anomalous, but there’s no metadata or information about altitude or speed or anything that could give us information about whether these things are supposedly breaking physics, and plenty of sensor experts have debunked videos like these by pointing out how what looks anomalous are actually just quirks of the tech being used to monitor our skies.

Trump’s presidency is failing, and as much as many UFO readers want to delude themselves into thinking they can wall off politics from a subject intertwined with the CIA, Congress and defense contractors, it is clear that so far, this document dump is a flailing and desperate political lifeline cast into the darkness. Chuck Schumer wrote the phrase “non-human intelligence” 22 times into a bill he tried to pass three years in a row, and Anna Paulina Luna helped pass a hyper-watered-down version of it that ordered the Pentagon to disclose these documents coming out now. I promise you that some fuzzy lights in the sky on an Apollo mission were not what they had in mind.

So like with all big talk on UFO disclosure, the onus is on the big talker to show the goods, and there are no goods on this website. Not to mention, the other hyped-up site the administration has been pushing alongside this document dump, alients dot gov, wound up being exactly what us political watchers expected: fascist propaganda that had nothing to do with UFOs that looked designed to convince UFO people to support ethnic cleansing. So far, this is all classic Trump scammy bullshit.

But there is an uncomfortable truth at the heart of all this—and it’s Trump’s power, both granted to him through Article II of the Constitution and the power he has seized by wrecking parts of the Constitution like Article I. He could declassify a lot, and this is where Trump’s nihilism and pure self-interest actually become hopeful in the eye of the UFO believer. Norms respecters like Joe Biden and Barack Obama were clearly cowed by the security state saying this is How Things Work, and the agenda around drone warfare and such did not change much from the scion of the CIA’s administration to the Hope and Change one. If there is a UFO cover-up as Obama perhaps wink-winked at not too long ago, it stands to reason that institutionalists would be less likely to buck the institutions perpetrating that cover-up. Trump doesn’t give a shit about any of that, and if I were protecting UFO secrets, that is what would keep me up at night. Institutions mean nothing to a man-child who wants to replace every institution with himself.

I have come to the conclusion that there is a very strange world where Trump actually could become something of a UFO disclosure president, and the decaying clusterfuck of his administration makes that likelier each day. His polls are plummeting, the Strait of Hormuz is still closed as we have arrived at the June doomsday date that has kept oil traders up at night the last three months, and Iran is now threatening to squeeze Bab el-Mandeb too. This is all going off the rails, and it’s not difficult to imagine a not-too-distant future where Trump flails around for a life raft going into midterm elections he has said the GOP needs to win to save his presidency.

I cannot report from any of my own digging or sources that we have non-human bodies or craft, but Chuck Schumer and Mike Rounds threatening “private persons or entities” with “eminent domain” if they did not turn over their “recovered technologies of unknown origin and biological evidence of non-human intelligence” three years in a row certainly got many folks’ attention that I have talked to. It’s not out of the realm of possibility that should this war with Iran plunge the global economy into crisis and his polls with it, Trump’s interests could finally overlap with the UFO marks who think he cares about them. Perhaps we are barreling towards a future where instead of talking about negative 3% GDP growth amidst $200 oil, Trump would prefer that we all gawk at the exotic technologies that Chuck Schumer is trying to pry out of defense contractors. Or maybe the debunkers are partially right and it’s all just MKUltra 2 and Trump etches himself into a very strange part of American history alongside other revelations of government misconduct like the Pentagon Papers.

Like with all forms of any voluntary government disclosure, I am adhering to my main rule to not hold my breath. The Pentagon has been loath to talk about this subject, and so far Occam’s Razor is that they are simply following a law passed by Congress and what makes it past the over-classification of government is definitionally uninteresting. Trump doesn’t care about any of this past how it can help him, especially a subject that forces you to accept how infinitesimally small you are in the grander context of the universe. There’s no reason to think that barring a truly desperate situation, Trump will do anything for UFO disclosure, but he does have the power at his fingertips should he so choose. And like many of the powers he is fond of wielding, it doesn’t require much work beyond just posting and wrecking something already in existence.
