Donald Trump made a shocking revelation at a recent speaking event, abruptly announcing that he has instructed Pete Hegseth to release government UFO files. 

The president headlined a Turning Point USA event on Friday at a megachurch in Phoenix, Arizona, where he defended his record in office to a slew of young conservative voters. 

The event is the latest stop in the TPUSA tour across America, where top conservatives are attempting to bolster support for their party among young voters. 

During his remarks, Trump boasted about his Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, revealing that the Pentagon would soon release documents relating to UFOs and ‘unexplained aerial phenomena.’ 

‘I figured this was a good crowd because you people – you’re really into that. I don’t know. So I’m pleased to report today, I thought I’d save it for this crowd, because you’re a little bit out there, that this process is well underway,’ he joked. 

‘We found many very interesting documents, I must say. And the first releases will begin very, very soon. So you can go out and see if that phenomena is correct. You’ll figure it out. Let me know.’ 

The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform’s Task Force sent a letter to Hegseth in March, requesting video files related to Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) by April 14. 

The letter followed hearings by the House task force in September, where whistleblowers testified that the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), a section of the Department of War, possessed video records of UAPs.

It’s unclear what files Trump was referring to in his remarks. Pictured above is a still from a previously released unclassified US government video appearing to show a UAP

‘The lack of disclosure regarding the very real threat posed by UAPs in and around US restricted airspace is concerning,’ House representatives wrote. 

‘The presence of UAPs in and around the sensitive airspaces of US military installations poses a threat to the security of the armed forces and their readiness.’
