Is Trump going to reveal what the US knows about aliens?

President Donald Trump has reportedly authorised the release of information linked to secret UFO facilities in the United States.

World news correspondent Adam Gilchrist reports that classified files are believed to contain details about alleged UFO sites.

“Donald Trump could make an announcement about UFO and alien technology, that’s what the rumours are in Washington at the moment.”

This is after former President Barack Obama clarified comments he made about extraterrestrial species in a recent podcast.

“They’re real, but I haven’t seen them,” Obama told Brian Tyler Cohen during an interview.

He has since said that his comments were made in line with 'the spirit of the speed round' of questions, adding that the chances that Earth has been visited by alien is ‘low’.
