The White House has officially registered the domain "aliens.gov," which has appeared in the federal government's official domain name registry. The website currently has no content. Weeks earlier, Trump announced on Truth Social that he planned to declassify government files related to extraterrestrial life and unidentified aerial phenomena, and had instructed the Secretary of Defense and relevant agencies to identify and release all UFO-related documents. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed that the review of these files was underway but did not disclose a specific timeline. Former senior defense intelligence official Christopher Mellon stated that the government possesses a large amount of video evidence that the public has never seen, including videos from the onboard cameras of F-18 fighter jets, some of which were classified as unclassified in 2018 but have not yet been released to the public.
