Dr. Phil slams White House's latest UFO files release in firey statement
TV personality Dr Phil has criticized the Pentagon’s decision to drop files pertaining to UFO activity.
While you probably never expected to read that line, this is no alternative reality, as Dr Phil slammed the White House for its latest release, claiming that it is not telling the full story.
This comes as the Department of War released its fifth batch of records on UFO files last Friday (August 7).
Earlier this year, President Donald Trump announced on his own social media platform Truth Social that these files would be released, writing: “Based on the tremendous interest shown, I will be directing the Secretary of War, and other relevant Departments and Agencies, 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), and any and all other information connected to these highly complex, but extremely interesting and important, matters. GOD BLESS AMERICA!”

However, it seems Dr Phil, whose real name is Phillip McGraw, wasn’t too impressed with what was released, arguing that the information was ‘filler’.
In a clip, he said: “I believe the president wants the truth out but somewhere between him saying ‘release it’ and it actually landing on a website, somebody’s deciding what we get to see and what stays locked up. I don’t know who that somebody is and neither do you.”
He went on to say: “If you’re really going to talk about disclosure, then start disclosing.”
This has prompted many people to take to the internet to share their own reactions, with one user writing on Reddit: “This is exactly what it is. Ive spent years of my life listening to witness accounts. The reason the government will never come out 100% on disclosure is because of all the illegal things they did to cover it up for the past 50 years. There's several reasons why the government won't disclose 100%.”
Another said: “This is the first time I’ve ever said this, and it’s honestly not something I ever expected to say: DR. Phil killed it with this one.”
A third person commented: “Honestly I didnt expect Dr. Phil to be a believer in all of this, strange to see hes on this side of things honestly.”
And a fourth added: “As much as I agree with Dr Phil about the laughable “drops” we’ve been getting… Why TF are we listening to Dr Phil’s opinion on anything?”
