Days after President Trump announced that he is directing agencies to declassify files on UFOs and UAPs, reporters have asked Secretary of War Pete Hegseth whether aliens are real..
He said he will have to review to find out..
Meanwhile Steven Greer was just on Infowars for an exclusive interview about the potential disclosure..
Well, we’ve always wondered how disclosure would happen… and if it would happen.
And now that some people think it might actually be happening, a strange thing is taking place — some of the loudest UFO believers suddenly don’t believe in it anymore.
Tonight, Donald Trump made what he called an announcement of epic, universal proportions.
Here’s the quote:
“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)…”
— President Donald J. Trump
So there you have it.
We’ll see what kind of files actually get released… and whether this truly amounts to disclosure. If it’s anything like other high-profile document releases, we may end up with pages of blacked-out redactions and very little substance. But this isn’t the Epstein file situation — at least not directly.
Of course, some are already saying this announcement is a distraction. That it’s meant to redirect attention away from other controversies. Others, meanwhile, have quietly hoped for years that Trump would be the president who finally oversaw alien disclosure.
And then it gets even stranger.
Trump also said that Barack Obama had already revealed classified information by suggesting aliens were real yet in the same breath, he admitted he himself doesn’t know whether aliens exist.
So what are we actually witnessing here?
Is this controlled disclosure? Political theater? A genuine shift in transparency? Or simply another layer in the long saga of government-meets-UFO culture?
If disclosure is happening, it feels… haphazard. Fragmented. Almost improvised.
And here’s the real twist: even if definitive proof of alien life were released tomorrow, would anyone believe it?
Public trust in institutions is so fractured right now that confirmation might spark more skepticism than celebration. The people who have believed for decades might question the timing. The people who never believed might dismiss it as manipulation.
We’ve reached a moment where the possibility of aliens isn’t the most unbelievable part … and with the amount of mistrust in the government people may dismiss disclosure as a fraud..
The former President was speaking about Donald Trump and ICE on a podcast this weekend–but something he said about aliens took a life of its own. In response to a tongue in cheek question about UFOs, Barack Obama said they are real.. but he hasn’t seen them.
So there we had it! Disclosure! They are real!
Until they aren’t…
Obama quickly gave us aliens and then tooketh them awayeth..
He went on social media:
ABOUT FACE..
This is a sad story developing..
Author, journalist and TV personality Nick Pope ran the British government’s UFO program, leading the media to call him the real Fox Mulder. He’s recognized as one of the world’s leading experts on UFOs, the unexplained, and conspiracy theories. Nick is the media’s go-to person for UFOs.
And now he is using X as a platform to announce some very troubling news and effectively say goodbye to this planet a his announces a battle with cancer that is in stage 4..
A Message From Nick Pope: A while ago, following some digestive issues, I was diagnosed with esophageal cancer.
Unfortunately, it’s Stage 4 and has metastasized to my liver. While I know that it’s kindness and hope that leads people to suggest healers and supposed miracle cures, and to say things like “fight it”, and “you can beat it”, I’m afraid my diagnosis and my situation leaves no doubt whatsoever: I can’t beat it.
What an amazing adventure I’ve had! A 21-year career at the UK Ministry of Defence, where I got involved in subjects ranging from financial policy to counter-terrorism; from military policing to UAP. And I saved six cows; it’s a long story! The things I’ve done; the places I’ve been; the people I’ve met; and the secrets I’ve been privy to. I wouldn’t have swapped it for the world. And then a second career, where my previous government UAP role brought me to the attention of the world’s media, leading me to become a regular commentator on TV news shows and documentaries, as well as consulting and acting as spokesperson on various UFO and alien-themed movies, TV series and video games. The media called me the real Fox Mulder!
The true highlight, of course, is life with my wonderful, beautiful and incredibly smart wife, Elizabeth. She’s a real-life Agent Scully: a scientist, a skeptic and a redhead. We met randomly in the lobby bar of the Fairmont Hotel in downtown San José (she was an anthropology professor at San José State University) in October 2010 and got married 3 months later. We applied successfully for my Green Card and she had me shipped over and imported to the U.S., where a new adventure began, as Elizabeth and I enjoyed wildlife watching at our wonderful home in Tucson, desert hikes, film noir, true crime, country music, Sunday lunches with my in-laws, and much more besides. Recently, we had an amazing one-year adventure in New York City, living 5 minutes from Times Square, and having a wonderful view of the Empire State Building from our apartment window.
We proofread each other’s books and articles (I love commas, hyphens and exclamation points way more than Elizabeth, and managed to win at least a few of those battles), and I’m supporting her in her ongoing fight for free speech, academic freedom, and keeping political correctness, superstition and identity politics out of science and academia. The White House Press Secretary Tweeted one of her recent newspaper articles, which shows the huge impact she’s having.
I kept working for as long as I could (right up until last week), with my various film/TV interviews, conference appearances, and live events, including my position as moderator of Ancient Aliens Live – where I think I did 94 shows. Sadly, the time has come where I’ve had to step away from this work. A lot of people have followed my work on UAP. I’m loath to use the word “fans”, because I’m not a celebrity. But I am a public figure, and many people have followed me on my journey as I’ve sought to keep the UAP subject in the public eye, and to frame it as a defense, national security and safety of flight issue – as well as a fascinating science problem. Some of this work has been public knowledge, but some such work, of necessity, has been done behind the scenes.
I hope I’ve helped move the needle forward. But most people, of course, know me through my media interviews and live events. To everyone who’s followed me on my journey, thank you – and good luck with your own journeys. I wish you every success and happiness.
It’s all been amazing, and I’m grateful for the things I’ve done, not mournful for the things that I won’t now get to do.
Per Aspera Ad Astra! Nick Pope, Tucson, Arizona, February 12, 2026
yes.. OBAMA ADMITS ALIENS
This one seems siren worthy!!
Former President Barack Obama said that aliens are real but he has no idea where they are during a podcast appearance released Saturday.
So they are real.. but haven’t seen them. We are cautious here–perhaps this was not necessarily an admission? Perhaps the wrong use of language.. not careful sentence construction…
But he …said they are real. REAL.
The former president did not offer any further details on what he mean by “real” — and no follow-up questions on the topic were asked — but he used the appearance to cast doubt on several longtime theories as to where they might be.
MORE..
“But what is true — and I’m actually being serious here — is that there’s footage and records of objects in the skies that we don’t know exactly what they are,” he said.
So after all of these years.. did a former president just factually and yet casually announce disclosure?
The former president also addressed the controversies of the day, including the current president posting a video that had a snippet of him and his wife Michelle..
A mysterious “Dorito-shaped” aircraft was spotted soaring above the highly classified Area 51 military base in southern Nevada.
Off-grid videographer Anders Otteson — known for documenting the mysterious landscapes around the military installation for his YouTube channel Uncanny Expeditions — was out in the desert when he recorded a strange, unidentified aircraft around 3 a.m. Jan. 14

Erich von Däniken was the Swiss author whose bestselling books about the extraterrestrial origins of ancient civilizations brought him fame among paranormal enthusiasts and scorn from the scientific community.. He has died.
He was 90.
Von Däniken’s representatives announced on his website on Sunday that he had died the previous day in a hospital in central Switzerland.
His daughter Cornelia confirmed the information to Swiss news agency SDA.
Von Däniken rose to prominence in 1968 with the publication of his first book “Chariots of the Gods,” in which he claimed that the Mayans and ancient Egyptians were visited by alien astronauts and instructed in advanced technology that allowed them to build giant pyramids.
May he rest in peace.. and may God grant his soul the ability to know the answers he sought on Earth.
Steven Spielberg is reportedly making a new movie, and if the rumors are true, it’s going to rock the world of UFO enthusiasts — or at least get their hopes way up. Of course, a lot of that could simply be marketing hype mixed with existential wish-casting. But if there’s anyone who could stir that kind of anticipation, it’s Spielberg. After all, this is the man behind Close Encounters of the Third Kind and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial — films that didn’t just entertain people, but quietly rewired how an entire generation thinks about alien contact.
The recent UK Telegraph article describing the project leans heavily into a familiar narrative within UFO culture. One story that always resurfaces is the alleged White House screening of E.T. for Ronald Reagan. Supposedly, when the film ended, Reagan stood up and said — maybe joking, maybe not — that there were people in the room who knew that everything they had just watched was true. Whether that moment actually happened exactly as described almost doesn’t matter anymore. It’s become part of the mythology.
The new Spielberg film itself is still wrapped in secrecy, but one detail from the article jumped out at me — and I had completely forgotten this — a significant portion of it was filmed in New Jersey. That immediately brings to mind the so-called New Jersey drone sightings that dominated headlines just a year ago and then vanished entirely. Not even below the fold — just gone. But if you talk to people in New Jersey, you’ll hear that the drones never really stopped. They’re reportedly still seen regularly. They’ve just become so common that no one talks about them anymore. Like planes in the sky.
That’s part of what makes this Telegraph article so fun, and what makes this Spielberg project so intriguing. There’s even a rumor floating around — clearly conspiracy-theory territory — that a real alien might “star” in the movie. Obviously, that’s not happening. For one thing, it would probably violate every Screen Actors Guild rule imaginable, not to mention require the creation of an entirely new galactic union chapter. Unless, of course, the alien is playing itself. Or themselves. Or itself. The grammar alone would be a nightmare.
THE TELEGRAPH MOCKS:
Tinfoil hat wearers have reacted with characteristic calmness and sagacity to the news that Spielberg is returning to his sci-fi roots with his new production, filming of which was completed in the summer. It is said to have had several working titles, including The Dish and Non-View, but is now reported to be called Disclosure.
The new name, if it is correct, would provide “evidence” for the conspiracists that Spielberg knows more than he is letting on – “disclosure” being a key term for the alien truthers. They hold that the American authorities have secret information about UFOs and extraterrestrial life and want it to be publicly revealed, in a process they term “disclosure”.
Chris Ramsay, a Montreal-based magician who has a YouTube channel devoted to UFO theories, went viral with a tweet in which he most clearly set out the conspiracists’ thinking about Spielberg’s new film. Like any good conspiracy theorist, he described his thesis as something “that’s so crazy it just might be brilliant”.
Still, the idea is entertaining. And beneath the humor is a more interesting possibility: that Spielberg, over decades of filmmaking, may have become acquainted with enough people in enough rooms to suspect that something is going on. That maybe Reagan wasn’t joking. That maybe E.T. wasn’t just a children’s movie, but a soft disclosure story told in the safest way possible.
Regardless of what ultimately comes of this new film — whenever it’s released, and whatever it ends up being called — the anticipation is already enormous. The marketing machine seems primed, the speculation is growing, and expectations are high. We have little doubt the movie will be good. And even if it isn’t…
Well, it’ll still be out of this world.
(Sorry. I had to make at least one pun.)
But one part did catch the attention of people who’ve never followed this topic before: a claim that George Bush Sr. knew about aliens.
And today a lot of news outlets have jumped on it.
According to the film, the late president told a federal official that aliens made contact with humans at a secret New Mexico air base in 1964. The claim comes from Eric Davis — an astrophysicist and former scientific advisor to the now-defunct Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program… Davis says Bush personally confirmed the story to him in a private conversation.
Here’s what Davis says Bush told him: Three spacecraft were seen approaching the base … One of them landed. A non-human entity emerged and had a face-to-face meeting with military and CIA officials.
The entity then returned to the craft and departed.
And here’s the frustrating part: when Davis pressed Bush Sr. for more details, he was told he “did not have the need to know.”
Even a former president gets the classic UFO brick wall.
Presidents and UFOs have always had some weird flirtation with the topic. Bill Clinton, Obama, and George W. Bush all joked — usually on late-night shows — that they “know more than we do” but aren’t going to spill anything. It’s always tongue-in-cheek, but always there. Jimmy Carter even say he saw a UFO and supposedly got a phone call never to talk about it again. So we are told..
And of course, we can’t forget the long-standing rumors about Dwight Eisenhower allegedly meeting with aliens and giving away some of our sovereignty in exchange for “experiments.”
I guess those anal probes are the price we pay for liking Ike.
So that’s the big takeaway from Age of Disclosure. It’s a headline-grabber for newcomers, even though many longtime UFO folks have heard pieces of this story before.
For everyone just joining the UFO world — welcome aboard the craft. We don’t know much, but we sure know the rumors and the innuendo.
Two very specific—but wildly different—events happened today, and somehow they both gave me the exact same feeling. They’re not related, not connected, not even in the same solar system. One’s about UFOs, the other’s about Donald Trump. But the outcome? The vibe? Exactly the same. That sense that we’re being played or gas-lit—pick whichever word fits your mood—on this cold November Friday night.
A new documentary dropped today called The Age of Disclosure. If you’re even loosely following the UFO world, you’ve heard the buildup. Months of whispers, interviews, hype, and promise that this is the next big step toward finally learning the truth.
It’s the same old routine: they dangle a chocolate bar from a fishing line, and as soon as we get close, they drive off in a truck doing 85 on Route 61. Disclosure is always the carrot on the stick—never the meal.
Every time David Grusch or another whistle-blower gets hauled before Congress, it feels like the big moment is coming. The big reveal. The truth bomb. And every single time, they back off. They get vague. They hedge their language. Headlines fade. Congress shrugs. And we’re left staring at the sky like fools, holding onto nothing.
So today, when The Age of Disclosure finally released on Amazon, I checked the price:
$24.99 to buy. $19.99 to rent.
Look, I’m not saying they have to give it away for free. But when something is marketed as a world-changing revelation, and then it costs as much as a small grocery run, it starts to feel less like disclosure and more like a business model. The UFO world at this point has merch tables, collector editions, and VIP passes. It’s starting to feel like pro wrestling.
So here I am on a Friday night, debating whether I should rent it, buy it, or skip it completely. Will it actually give me anything new? Or will it be the same old talking heads telling the same old stories, with the same old “We’re getting close!” energy? That chocolate bar just keeps dangling, just out of reach.
On the far opposite end of the galaxy, Donald Trump met today with New York City’s newly elected mayor, Zohran Mamdani. The media showed up loaded for drama. Everyone expected tension. People still remember the awkward tension-filled meeting Trump had with Zelensky in 2019, so the stage was set for another icy showdown.
And then… the exact opposite happened.
Trump and Mamdani acted like they were best friends from way back. Trump practically glowed. Mamdani smiled like he just won a radio contest. They complimented each other. They joked. They praised each other in ways that made both liberals and conservatives blink in confusion.
It was a Kumbaya moment no one saw coming. It felt rehearsed. Polished. Almost like a scene from a play that someone forgot to tell us was satire. And again, the same feeling washed over me:
We’re being played.
One news outlet says it’s the cheapest Thanksgiving in years.
Another says it’s the most expensive ever recorded.
Walmart claims prices dropped 25%.
Meanwhile, people at home feel like they’re paying 50% more.
Pick your talking point. Pick your truth. Pick your reality.
We’re living in an era where The Age of Disclosure doesn’t disclose anything—and The Age of Confusion is fully operational. UFOs, politics, economics… none of it lines up. None of it makes sense. Everything feels like a performance, a script, a distraction, a dangling chocolate bar we’re sprinting after.
We run harder.
It drives farther.
The candy bar never gets closer.
The mystery never solves itself.
The answers never appear.
Just more confusion. More noise. More showmanship. More exhaustion.
Maybe one day we’ll actually catch that chocolate bar.
But tonight? It’s just getting smaller in the distance—
while we stand here out of breath, heart pounding, adrenaline fading, wondering why we’re still running.
