Donald Trump orders U.S. UFO files declassification, launches public portal

U.S. President Donald Trump directed the release of previously classified unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP) records, beginning on May 8. The administration created a dedicated website, war.gov/ufo, to provide public access to the declassified documents. The move follows heightened public interest spurred by the recent release of Steven Spielberg’s film “The Day of the Revelation,” which features themes of extraterrestrials. A related commentary cites the president’s directive as part of a broader effort to increase governmental transparency on the subject.

The article also notes a personal recommendation of classic science‑fiction comics, linking cultural interest in UFOs to the current disclosure initiative.
