Rumors are afoot that Donald Trump once more wants to stoke his gigantic ego, this time by "a major speech about unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and recovery of alien craft." This according to a piece yesterday in Newsweek citing claims from a UK ufologist published in The Daily Mail in early February suggesting “a major revelation may be imminent.”
Mark Christopher Lee, a British writer, filmmaker and ufologist, told the Daily Mail that the speech could take place on July 8, which would roughly coincide with the anniversary of the Roswell UFO incident,
though he added that it could be delivered sooner. Trump allies, meanwhile, have suggested that his administration could declassify information on extraterrestrial life. Of course, if true (which I somehow doubt) it would be the biggest revelation in American history - especially given it's been concealed for nearly 80 years. (Making me suspect Trump may just want to 'one up' Obama again, who revealed in a weekend podcast he now believes aliens are real).
In a Monday email to Newsweek, Lee claimed:
“A Washington insider I have known personally and conducted business with – has repeatedly affirmed that President Trump has prepared a historic speech acknowledging extraterrestrial visitation and the existence of recovered non-human materials and craft.”
Newsweek quickly noted it had not verified Lee’s claims, and Lee himself did not reveal his source or provide evidence. However, posting to social media platform X, Lee shared what he said was information from a “source inside the Trump administration.” According to Lee’s account, the unnamed Trump source said that Trump’s remarks would highlight multiple well-known incidents, including the 2004 “Tic Tac encounter,” the 2015 USS Roosevelt “GoFast” and “Gimbal” incidents, and the 1947 Roswell event. Adding:
“He will confirm that forensic analysis of recovered off-world vehicles and non-human biologics has established their extraterrestrial origin, marking the first official acknowledgment of this reality by any world leader.”
Per the unnamed source, Trump would also say that earlier administrations kept things secret because they were worried about national security, “technological uncertainty,” and feared how the public might react. Lee's source again:
“President Trump will announce immediate steps toward declassification of related files, expanded scientific study through a new interagency task force, and international cooperation with allied nations. He will state, ‘This is not a threat—it is an opportunity to unite humanity in understanding our place in the universe."
Discussion of a possible major speech from Trump has been swirling on social platforms like X, along with a marked rise in Google search interest on the subject. (Paralleling 26 m views of Obama's recent podcast in which he changed his mind on the reality of UFOs.)
However, up to now, there is no hard evidence of a planned Trump UFO-alien speech, and no White House announcement has been forthcoming. As I noted earlier, the only reason I can see Dotard suddenly giving such a speech is to one up Obama in his recent podcast. Also, perhaps to try to boost his historically low approval ratings.
Let us also bear in mind, as previously reported by Newsweek, Trump himself has expressed skepticism about the existence of UFOs in the past, telling comedian and podcaster Joe Rogan in 2024 he "had never been a believer.” So riddle me this? Why suddenly become one now?
A 2021 survey by the Pew Research Center found that
almost two-thirds (65 percent) of Americans believe that intelligent life could
exist on other planets. But the real question is how many also believe such advanced life has already made it to our own planet? I warrant not that many, though the alarming UAP hearings that featured Tim Gallaudet and earlier Ret. Cmdr. David Fravor are certainly alarming that 'they' are here and having their way in our air space.
Hell, the late astronomer Carl Sagan - once a debunker of the idea - did finally come around to accepting the validity in a one-on-one with Northwestern University astronomer J. Allen Hynek, e.g.

Since the blockbuster NY Times 2017 release of UAP accounts by military pilots (such as the Nimitz incidents), UFO-UAP related content has also seen a recent surge in popular culture, with extraterrestrial‑disclosure themes paralleling those featured in
Steven Spielberg’s forthcoming movie Disclosure Day.
In a recent trailer for the movie, the director says in a
voiceover, “People’s questions about what is not only going on in our skies,
but is going on in our worlds and our realities has reached a critical mass of
people’s complete fascination with ‘are we alone or are we not alone?’
“And if someone knows we’re not alone, why haven’t we been
told?”
Well because it would upset the ‘applecart’ in terms of the dogmas- biblical teachings of many religions as well as strike at the fantasy of human sovereignty. The latter reported in a 2014 paper by Alexander Wendt and Raymond Duvall in the Journal Political Theory. E.g.
Sovereignty and the UFO - Alexander Wendt, Raymond Duvall, 2008
Therein they note the phenomenon of the UFO tends to be rejected as real - by government sources, as well as the military and the media - because it comes up against the human concept of state sovereignty
In addition, the military powers that be don’t want pesky civilians knowing what they are doing with the recovered alien craft, devices.
As my late AF brother Jerry told me back in 1990 during an
extended discussion: “It would be like the techniques of the Manhattan Project and A-bombs
getting leaked back in the early 1940s.”
Meanwhile, Lee noted in a subsequent email to Newsweek:
“My source has now confirmed they will come forward publicly
and hold a formal press conference on May 1, 2026, in Washington, D.C. This
could generate substantial pressure and potentially bring full disclosure
forward ahead of the original timeline.
“As a filmmaker and journalist with my own lifelong
experiences in this field, I share this information responsibly and in good
faith. The public deserves transparency on a topic that has been concealed for
decades.”
The public does indeed deserve transparency on this issue, but
call me a skeptic in terms of Dotard Trump delivering it without some grift or
unknown advantage he wants to secure. Like pumping up his current dismal approval rating. Stay tuned.
