當?shù)貢r間2月19日，美國總統(tǒng)唐納德·特朗普在社交媒體發(fā)文表示，鑒于公眾“表現(xiàn)出的巨大興趣”，他將指示戰(zhàn)爭部長及相關(guān)部門與機構(gòu)，啟動識別并公布與外星生命、不明空中現(xiàn)象（UAP）以及不明飛行物（UFO）有關(guān)的政府文件。

特朗普在帖文中稱，解密范圍將包括與這些“高度復雜但極具吸引力和重要性”的議題相關(guān)的“任何及所有信息”。

US President Donald Trump on Thursday said he would direct the Pentagon and other government agencies to release government records related to extraterrestrial life and UFOs.

"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," he said in a post on Truth Social.

此前，美國前總統(tǒng)奧巴馬于當?shù)貢r間2月14日在一檔播客節(jié)目中稱“外星人確實存在”，不過他“沒見過”，美國內(nèi)華達州的“51區(qū)”里面“也沒關(guān)著外星人”——除非是“有連美國總統(tǒng)都瞞著的天大陰謀”。但一天后，他又在社交媒體上發(fā)帖澄清說，從概率上看，宇宙很可能存在其他生命，不過自己在任期間“并沒有看到任何證據(jù)表明外星人曾與人類接觸”。

Trump's remarks come after former President Barack Obama drew media attention over the weekend when he appeared to confirm the existence of aliens in an interview. "They're real but I haven't seen them," said Obama.

He later clarified in an Instagram post that he was referring to the statistical likelihood of life existing on other planets given the vastness of the universe. "I saw no evidence during my presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with us," he added.

19日，特朗普在搭乘“空軍一號”專機前往佐治亞州途中表示，奧巴馬近日涉及外星人的說法“泄露了機密信息”，奧巴馬“不應該這么做”。特朗普說，“我不知道它們（外星人）是否真的存在……但我可以告訴你，他（奧巴馬）泄露了機密信息，他犯了個大錯?！?/strong>

"Well, I don't know if they're real or not. I can tell you he gave classified information. He's not supposed to be doing that. He made a big mistake." said Trump on Air Force One.

美國的“51區(qū)”一直被不少人認為是外星人降落地和美國的外星人研究基地，但美國政府談到這一地區(qū)時一直含糊其辭。
