Pressure Grows On President Trump To Provide UFO Transparency
Written by Christopher Sharp - 27 January 2025
Less than a week into President Trump’s administration, bipartisan calls for transparency on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) are intensifying.
It’s been almost one week into Trump’s administration.
He pitched himself as a change agent - and so far he’s been good to his word, signing more executive orders on his first day in office than any other president in history, according to White House communications.
True to his key transparency promises during campaigning, on January 23, he ordered the declassification of records related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
This move signalled clear intent—a bold challenge to the intelligence community, which had previously obstructed efforts to declassify JFK documents.
But will Trump venture into the uncharted territory of U.S. democracy—where democratic oversight appears to have died—the realm of UAP?
After Trump signed the executive order declassifying assassination files, Senate Minority Leader and UAP advocate—whose efforts, alongside Republican Senator Mike Rounds, to pass a UAP Disclosure Act Bill promoting transparency on the subject have been blocked for two consecutive years—tweeted, ‘Now do UFOs.’
This challenge to the President has since gained momentum, with Republican Representatives Nancy Mace and Anna Paulina Luna both retweeting Schumer’s message. Mace declared, “Finally something we agree on,” while Luna simply stated, “I agree.”
A fellow transparency advocate, Representative Eric Burlison has told the media outlet Newsnation:
“I’ve been reaching out to Trump’s campaign and to his policy team, trying to get them to consider UFO disclosure as well—do an executive order on that. I think it’s the only thing Chuck Schumer and I can agree on: that the American people—really, the world—deserves to know this.”
Going further, Representative Burchett told Newsnation that President Trump will be releasing UAP information:
“President Trump has confided that in fact he will be releasing some of these. I plan to have that conversation again with him very soon.”
Many politicians, both Republican and Democrat—including Trump’s new Secretary of State, Marco Rubio—have been unwavering in their pursuit of UAP transparency in recent years.
However, the key obstacle has been the lack of meaningful support and momentum from the White House. Under Joe Biden’s term, the White House has consistently been where UAP transparency efforts have faltered, despite some initial support for the Schumer / Rounds Bill - according to Liberation Times sources.
Sources have informed Liberation Times that this is no coincidence, pointing to long-serving White House staff across multiple administrations as central to the alleged cover-up.
In 2023, retired Rear Admiral, Tim Gallaudet told a conference, “this White House does not want to disclose [UAP information] - that’s their policy.”
Gallaudet added that the bodies we care about (in the White House) are the National Security Council and the Office of Science and Technology Policy.
A recent policy brief by Lue Elizondo, former head of the Pentagon’s UAP investigation program, AATIP (Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program), and now with the UAP Disclosure Fund, urges the Trump administration to take decisive action.
Elizondo specifically recommends appointing a senior White House advisor to address the dual challenges of advanced Umnanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and UAP, collectively known as Emerging All-Domain Technologies.
Under the plan, the czar would sit within the National Security Council.
Elizondo has made multiple appearances on Donald Trump Jr.'s podcast, advocating for greater UAP transparency.
Liberation Times understands that UAP advocates are having similar conversations with Trump’s team behind the scenes. The consensus among sources is that Trump’s administration is interested and taking the topic seriously.
Journalist Ross Coulthart recently revealed that members of Trump’s administration are seriously engaging with whistleblower testimonies about crash retrieval programs involving advanced non-human craft.
Supporting Coulthart’s statements, former U.S. Marine Mike Herrera, who alleges that he and his unit encountered a UFO operated by a covert group during a 2009 humanitarian mission in Indonesia, provided an example of his own involvement.
Responding to Coulthart on X, Herrera wrote:
‘I can personally verify that @rosscoulthart is speaking the truth on this. I have attended meetings to brief some of Trump’s administration, and the feedback I got was yes. They are taking it seriously. We will see what happens.’
Whether Trump’s team is encountering strong resistance within the White House, the Intelligence Community, and the Department of Defense (DoD) remains unconfirmed.
However, time is running out to act, and the pressure is mounting—particularly amid new allegations about retrieval missions involving advanced craft believed to be of non-human origin.
Additionally, other witnesses and whistleblowers are expected to come forward, including former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and Brett Feddersen, former Director of Aviation Security on the White House’s National Security Council, who has gone on record stating, "we are absolutely not alone."
Both are set to appear in a new documentary titled The Age of Disclosure.
In that documentary, Jay Stratton, former lead of the UAP Task Force, also appears, stating for the first time that he has seen nonhuman craft and nonhuman beings.
Liberation Times understands that this documentary is poised to reveal groundbreaking revelations, with some sources even describing it as a form of disclosure.
If leveraged effectively, the documentary—directed and produced by Dan Farah—could serve as a powerful communications tool for the White House, providing a credible platform to announce that humanity is not alone and is being visited by different factions of non-human intelligence.
If Trump fails to act swiftly and decisively, he risks losing his credibility as a champion of transparency and may find himself forced into action as more whistleblowers emerge and events escalate beyond his control.
The stage is set, with key advocates such as new CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard (if confirmed), and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz in pivotal roles.
These administration roles will be pivotal, particularly given past efforts to bring UAP materials to light.
One notable attempt, led by the late Senator Harry Reid, sought to secure the release of such materials from Lockheed Martin but was allegedly blocked by former CIA Director Leon Panetta and Glenn Gaffney, Director of the CIA’s Directorate of Science and Technology. These claims were detailed in recently released journals by UAP researcher Jacques Vallée.
Sources suggest that any effort to transfer materials from Lockheed Martin now has a greater chance of success, with SpaceX identified as a potential destination.
Speaking about the potential paradigm change under President Trump, investigative journalist Jeremy Corbell told Liberation Times:
“Today, we find ourselves in an unprecedented era of potential UAP transparency - a paradigm-shifting moment that we have collectively fought for over decades.
“It is now widely accepted that UFOs are real, and there is credible evidence suggesting efforts to reverse-engineer and exploit technologies derived from craft reportedly of non-human intelligence (NHI) origin.
“The outdated legacy architecture has hindered progress, yielding little to no significant results from these technological pursuits.
“The path forward requires bringing this reality into the open and intensifying efforts to understand and harness these technologies. I remain hopeful that as we unlock the secrets of these craft, we may uncover profound truths about what it means to be human and our place in the universe.
“We are on the precipice. The time is now; we can handle the truth. We must.”
