Stories circulating in the UFO community suggest President Donald Trump could deliver a historic address about non-human intelligence. The official response obtained by WIRED does not support the claim that such a speech is planned.
What the White House said
A White House spokesperson told WIRED that no such speech was planned. The response said the administration would continue releasing files as they became available. WIRED also described how speculation about a possible address spread through figures in the UFO community and online discussions. Those accounts are not a confirmed presidential schedule.
The scientific position
NASA’s official UAP FAQ says the agency has found no credible evidence of extraterrestrial life and no evidence that UAPs are extraterrestrial. This does not mean every observation has been explained. It does mean that a public claim confirming aliens would go beyond what NASA currently presents as established.
What to watch for next
Editorial analysis: when another claim about an imminent announcement appears, look for an official notice, a concrete date and evidence that can be examined. A rumor, a proposed statement or someone’s expectation is not the same as a decision to deliver a speech. Based on the cited sources, an announcement by Trump confirming extraterrestrial life has not been established.
