President Trump directed Department of Defense and intelligence agencies on February 20, 2026, to prepare and release files on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), UFOs, and potential extraterrestrial life, spurred by public interest and his comments on former President Obama's remarks about aliens. No new declassifications have occurred as of early April, with reports highlighting bureaucratic delays in interagency coordination despite the executive directive. Traders weigh historical precedents of slow government disclosures against Trump's first-term partial UAP releases and ongoing congressional pushes for transparency via task forces. Upcoming agency compliance deadlines and potential congressional hearings could accelerate releases later in 2026, amid a recent Pentagon study finding no evidence of extraterrestrial origins in UAP sightings.
