Interest in extraterrestrial life has never really gone away, but it's more than a little ironic that Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day was released that same year that President Donald Trump vowed to release all of the US government's files on alien life.
Whether you believe in UFOs, UAPs, and little green dudes in saucers or not, it's a hot topic of conversation at the White House. This has even spilled over to prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi as people gamble their hard-earned money on whether 2026 is the year we'll get official confirmation that aliens are out there in space.
One aerospace billionaire and noted UFO researcher is preparing for the big day and has apparently briefed President Donald Trump on what he should say if aliens reveal themselves to us or are discovered by us.
It wasn't long ago that UFO 'experts' were adamant that President Barack Obama's alien chatter was cuing a government announcement.
Donald Trump briefed on 'Disclosure Day'

Speaking to KLAS 8 News Now, Robert Bigelow says he's given the President of the United States a specific statement to read to journalists on the tarmac outside Air Force One if the moment arises. Supposed to be simply thrown out to the press before the POTUS refuses to elaborate further and steps onto his presidential jet, the singular sentence reads: "A non-human, intelligent presence has been on Earth for a very long time, using spacecraft and with performances completely beyond our capabilities and our human physics."
Bigelow reiterates that Trump should say the words once, somewhere without a podium or a lot of press, and avoid answering any questions. To be honest, this sounds a little questionable, as the Commander-in-Chief confirming aliens exist would presumably throw the world into chaos.
The UFO advisor apparently met Trump in the Oval Office earlier this year, but aside from claiming the meeting ran well over its allotted time, Bigelow refused to reveal what was said or how the president reacted when he was told about the disclosure sentence.
Speaking to KLAS 8 News Now, Bigelow promoted his own carefully crafted words and explained: “What this is is disclosure, and it's actually confirmation, and the two are welded together."
Previously, daughter-in-law Lara Trump said the president had already 'prepared' a speech in the event alien life was confirmed.
Elsewhere, filmmaker Mark Christopher Lee backed up similar claims that Trump has a disclosure speech written and ready. Should we be bracing ourselves for a world-changing event?
An alien announcement is supposedly on the way

Speaking to The Daily Mail on August 4, Lee said an announcement is coming, "Potentially within the next 48 hours."
As those 48 hours have now passed, and our own real life Disclosure Day hasn't happened, it seems Lee is a little off with his timings.
Despite White House officials telling the outlet there is no planned presidential speech on extraterrestrials, Lee suggests this kind of address would be a simple 'soft disclosure', possibly discussing UFO incidents or lifeforms of non-human origin.
Lee also said that this soft disclosure could refer back to historic UFO cases and call for more general transparency. In terms of Bigelow's briefing, Lee backed up the wording and said: "My sources have always indicated there would be significant pushback from certain private and institutional interests, so I expect the final version to be carefully worded."
The Daily Mail found no evidence of Lee's claims and pointed to previous ones where he was wrong.
Lee suggested that Trump could deliver this mythical address at July 8's NATO summit and honor the 79th anniversary of the Roswell UFO incident. Again, that date came and went without incident.
Trump himself has spoken out about his thoughts on aliens, telling Logan Paul in 2024, "Am I a believer, no, I probably can't say I am. But I have met with people, that are serious people, that say there are some really strange things they see flying around out there."
Believer or not, there are those out there who clearly think Donald Trump needs to prepare to make an alien announcement.
