Donald Trump has returned as the 47th President of the United States following a divisive election on November 12, 2024. His past statements on UFOs have shown skepticism; in 2019, he expressed doubts about their existence. However, during a recent podcast with Logan Paul, Trump acknowledged the reality of strange aerial phenomena, indicating a shift in his stance. This change comes as discussions around Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) gain momentum in political circles.
Marco Rubio, a leading contender for Secretary of State, has been vocal about the need for less government secrecy regarding UAP. He has expressed frustration over classified briefings on UAP, suggesting that 95% of the information could be made public. This sentiment is echoed by Mike Waltz, who is likely to be appointed as National Security Adviser, emphasizing the necessity for transparency in UAP matters. John Ratcliffe, a potential CIA Director, has also pointed out that many UAP sightings remain classified, indicating a possible push for more openness in the future.
On the other hand, House Armed Services Chair Mike Rogers, who is being considered for Secretary of Defense, has previously opposed legislation aimed at increasing UAP transparency. This mixed bag of perspectives suggests that while there may be some advocacy for disclosure, UAP issues might not be a primary focus for the new administration, which will likely prioritize other pressing national concerns.
In light of these developments, the future of UAP transparency under Trump's administration remains uncertain, with various key figures holding differing views on how much information should be shared with the public. As the political landscape evolves, the implications for UFO disclosure could become clearer in the coming months. [8d2fe651]
