The president’s announcement came after he criticized former President Barack Obama for suggesting aliens are real.

President Donald Trump says he’s directing the government to release classified files about UFOs and extraterrestrial life in response to a spike in interest in the subject caused by one of his predecessors in the White House.

Trump announced on social media Thursday that he would direct the Department of Defense and other agencies to release the material days after former President Barack Obama suggested in an interview that aliens are “real” though he hadn’t seen any.

“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,” Trump said in the social media post.

Asked in an interview published Saturday about the existence of extraterrestrial life, Obama said aliens are “real but I haven’t seen them” and debunked conspiracy theories about a government facility in Nevada housing an extraterrestrial life form.

“They’re not being kept in Area 51. There’s no underground facility unless there’s this enormous conspiracy and they hid it from the president of the United States,” Obama told podcast host Brian Tyler Cohen.

Obama later clarified in a social media post that he meant to suggest that “the universe is so vast that the odds are good there’s life out there” and reiterated that “I saw no evidence during my presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with us.”

Trump criticized Obama’s comments Thursday afternoon, telling reporters he believes Obama wrongly revealed classified information.

Often the subject of government conspiracy theories, questions around U.S. contact with UFOs broke into the mainstream following a 2021 report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence detailing dozens of instances of U.S. Navy pilots encountering unexplained aerial phenomena dating back to 2004.

That report became the central focus of a 2022 House Intelligence hearing that featured declassified videos and descriptions of those encounters.
