President Donald Trump said his administration will release “a lot of things” about unidentified flying objects to the American public in the near future.

“For some reason, and I guess it’s just a reason, it’s been in the minds of people for a long time,” Trump said during a White House event with the crew of NASA’s landmark Artemis II mission on April 29. “I think some of it is going to be very interesting to people.”

The president added that he “interviewed people” who told him that “they saw things you wouldn’t believe.”

The event occurred nearly three weeks after the four Artemis II astronauts returned from their mission on April 10, in which they made history by flying farther from Earth than any humans ever have.

At a political rally hosted by Turning Point USA in Phoenix earlier in the month, Trump said that a Pentagon study of UFOs he ordered “found many very interesting documents” and that “the first releases will begin very, very soon.”

Trump ordered the Defense Department and other agencies to release government documents related to UFOs in February, following comments by former President Barack Obama on a podcast. Obama said that he thought aliens exist, though he had not seen them.

Obama later clarified that his statement was based on statistics and that he did not see evidence during his time in office.

The ordered releases, according to Trump, will include files on “alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), and any and all other information connected to these highly complex but extremely interesting and important, matters.”
