Is this the closest we’ve been to finding out if we’re truly alone in the universe?
US president Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform to reveal he is going to identify and release government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life.
Earlier this week, Metro reported how rumours were swirling Trump would make an announcement after former president Barack Obama revealed ‘aliens exist’.
Posting on Truth Social on Thursday, Trump said: ‘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’s post came hours after he told reporters Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s arrest was ‘a shame’, and ‘bad for the royal family’.
It was also posted amid a backdrop of the US appearing to be on the brink of launching military action on Iran.
Obama made his comments on extraterrestrial line on a podcast with host Brial Tyler Cohen on Saturday.
He said: ‘They’re real, but I haven’t seen them, and they’re not being kept in Area 51.’

Obama then clarified his comments with an Instagram post where he said he ‘saw no evidence’ ETs had made contact with Earth during his presidency.
Nick Pope, who investigated UFOs for the Ministry of Defence, told Metro Obama’s admission could be prepping us for a ‘definitive, formal announcement’.
Obama isn’t the only former US president to wade into the UFO debate. Alien disclosure has been a hot topic for decades.

Jimmy Carter said he saw a UFO in 1969 while waiting for a Lions Club event to start in the US state of Georgia. It’s claimed he, and around a dozen other men, saw a bright light come towards them then quickly dart away.
Gerald Ford led investigations into UFO sightings in Michigan in the 1960s, while Ronald Reagan saw an object behind a Cessna Citation plane in California in 1974.
