President Trump’s move to order the Pentagon and relevant agencies to begin identifying and releasing government files related to unidentified aerial phenomena and “alien and extraterrestrial life” is exactly the kind of transparency Americans deserve from their leaders. The president said the directive was driven by tremendous public interest and ordered agency heads to begin the process of locating and releasing any relevant records.
For years the bureaucratic class and the intelligence community treated UAPs like a punchline while quietly keeping data scattered across stovepipes. The Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office has publicly said it found no verifiable evidence that any case amounted to extraterrestrial technology, but that admission hasn’t satisfied the public and left dozens of incidents unresolved.
The official reports themselves make a compelling case for more sunlight, not secrecy: AARO’s review tallied hundreds of reports and singled out roughly two dozen cases that merit further analysis, even as many incidents were attributed to mundane causes like balloons, birds, and drones. Citizens have a right to see the files, to separate genuine national-security gaps from bureaucratic cover-ups, and to let independent scientists and members of Congress inspect the evidence.
Conservative outlets and serious scientists alike should welcome scrutiny — not fear it. Harvard astrophysicist Dr. Avi Loeb, who has appeared on Greta Van Susteren’s The Record to discuss interstellar objects and anomalies, reminded viewers that the science needs data and an open mind; if the government truly wants to clear the air, releasing files for vetted researchers is how you do it.
Make no mistake: demanding disclosure is not the same as endorsing conspiracy theories. Responsible conservatives know national security comes first, but national security is protected by accountability and facts, not by burying files and trusting that unelected bureaucrats will decide what the American people may — or may not — know. If there are legitimate classification concerns, release redacted documents that allow independent experts and congressional overseers to evaluate the claims.
Meanwhile, the political left and the media elite will try to caricature calls for disclosure as showmanship or “grifting,” but the American people are savvy: they remember what secrecy did when it was used to mask policy failures and political mischief. This is an opportunity for conservatives to lead on transparency, to insist on rigorous scientific review, and to defend the public’s right to answers about phenomena that could implicate national airspace and defense readiness.
If the government is confident there is nothing to hide, then it should act like it — release the files, let experts analyze the data, and let the chips fall where they may. Patriots want truth and safety, and our leaders should meet that demand with courage, not cover-up. The American people deserve the facts, and we should stand ready to hold every official and agency accountable until those facts are in the light.
