President Donald Trump said Friday that he has directed War Secretary Pete Hegseth to begin releasing the government's files on UFOs and unidentified aerial phenomena.

Trump promised in February to order the release of the files, but did not give a clear indication of when the documents would be released, but said federal agencies are in the process of reviewing documents and will be releasing information "very, very soon."
