UFO disclosure edges closer as new US government website is spotted

The White House has registered the domain ‘aliens.gov,’ sparking fresh speculation that President Donald Trump’s long-awaited UFO disclosure may be imminent.

The domain, linked to the Executive Office of the President, was flagged on Wednesday by an automated tracker of federal websites.

However, it is also listed in the government’s official .gov registry maintained by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

Registry records show it was recently added under the White House Office alongside other official government sites, confirming it as a legitimate federal web address, though its purpose has not been publicly disclosed.

The website is not currently live, but the domain has been reserved.

The discovery has raised questions about whether it could be used as a future portal for documents tied to Trump’s push for greater transparency on unidentified aerial phenomena.

In February, Trump directed federal agencies, including the Pentagon, to begin identifying and releasing files related to UFOs, also known as UAPs, and potential extraterrestrial activity.

‘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.

Trump has since gone quiet about his plans to release government files related to UFOs and extraterrestrial life. However, the war with Iran began shortly after he announced it in February.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth issued an update about five days later, saying: ‘We’ve got our people working on it right now. I don’t want to oversell how much time it will take, right? 

‘We’re digging in. We’re going to be in full compliance with that executive order, eager to provide that for the president.’

Hegseth didn’t have an estimate of how long it would take for the Pentagon and US intelligence agencies to release every piece of information on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), which have been widely reported throughout the US since the 1940s.

Asked if he believes aliens exist, Hegseth replied: ‘We’ll see. I get to do the review and find out along with all of you.’

Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna of Florida, who was put in charge of the House Oversight Committee’s task force on declassifying secret records on UAPs, revealed that all of the incoming documents will be housed on the US National Archives’ website.

Until now, the Pentagon has maintained for decades that no physical evidence of extraterrestrial life has ever been found by the US, and videos capturing suspected UFOs have never been confirmed to be of a non-human origin. 

Trump’s order, however, followed statements made by former President Barack Obama, who had declared aliens were real.

The former president was asked if aliens are real while speaking with Brian Tyler Cohen, to which he responded: ‘

Uh, they’re real, but I haven’t seen them,’ he said, before immediately addressing speculation surrounding Area 51, the secretive US military facility in Nevada that has long been at the center of extraterrestrial conspiracy theories.

‘And they’re not being kept in uh what is it? Area 51!’ Obama continued. ‘There’s no underground facility unless there’s this enormous conspiracy and they hid it from the president of the United States.’

His comments, delivered with a mix of humor and authority, amounted to a clear rejection of claims that the U.S. government is secretly housing alien life forms at the classified base.

Area 51 has fueled decades of speculation, particularly since the Cold War, when its remote desert location and classified operations made it a natural target for rumors about UFOs and extraterrestrial cover-ups.

The US government has acknowledged the facility’s existence but has consistently said it is used for testing advanced military aircraft.
