President Donald Trump’s highly anticipated UFO disclosure is expected on Friday morning, as the White House prepares to release long-secret UFO files and videos.
Florida Rep Anna Paulina Luna fueled speculation Thursday night after suggesting the release was expected at 8am ET, posting on X: ‘Tomorrow will be good.’
Luna previously said files tied to Trump’s disclosure effort would be housed on the National Archives website, although no official updates have been provided since those remarks in February.
However, the recent registration of the government-linked domain aliens.gov has fueled speculation that it could become a central hub for files related to alleged non-human intelligence and unexplained craft.
Reports suggested the release will be ‘slow and steady at first,’ with initial disclosures unlikely to contain any major bombshells.
The development comes just hours after Tennessee Rep Tim Burchett revealed he had a private Pentagon briefing to ‘go over stuff.’
Speaking on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Burchett said he had the call at 3pm on Thursday, but warned the public of full transparency, adding: ‘I don’t want everybody to get their hopes up. I don’t have a lot of faith in our government.’
The Republican lawmaker also accused powerful Pentagon insiders of resisting disclosure efforts, saying: ‘The war pimps at the Pentagon and everybody else, they just don’t give up that easy.’

Luna previously sent a letter to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on April 1 demanding the Pentagon turn over 46 specific UFO-related videos by April 14, 2026.
But the deadline passed without the footage being released, triggering frustration among lawmakers and UFO transparency advocates.
‘How convenient,’ Luna wrote on X, adding that while she considers Hegseth both a friend and a supporter of President Donald Trump, ‘the president has authorized the release, so whoever is trying to be cute at the Pentagon can take a hike.’
Luna referenced the 46 videos again Thursday night, suggesting they could be included in a second wave of disclosure files.
Investigative journalist Jeremy Corbell appeared to kick off speculation for disclosure on Friday, posting on X at 5.59pm on Thursday: ‘Just now… sources in the White House as well as Congressional members tell me and George Knapp that the Presidential UFO file release will begin tomorrow.
‘We are told it will be slow and steady at first. Nothing shocking initially. Let’s see where this goes! This is VERY encouraging – that this administration is following through.
‘More data means more leverage for those of us fighting for UAP transparency.’
The possible release comes months after Trump issued a February order for Hegseth to release all government files related to UFOs and extraterrestrials.

‘Based on the tremendous interest shown, I will be directing the Secretary of War… 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),’ Trump wrote on Truth Social on February 19.
On Tuesday, FBI Director Kash Patel said that the first wave of documents the US government has been keeping on alleged encounters was already sent to the interagency committee assembled by the White House.
According to Patel, those files will be released to the public ‘in the very near future.’
The FBI director said on the Hang Out with Sean Hannity podcast: ‘We already delivered our first tranche of information to that committee and they’re going to be publicly releasing this information very soon.’
