Summary

Last Thursday, U.S. President Donald Trump announced in a posting on his Truth Social website that he plans to "begin the process of identifying and releasing Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs)," and related information. Following the announcement, the internet has been buzzing with speculation about UFO disclosure and what such a historic release might potentially reveal. 

In this week's installment of The Micah Hanks Program, we break down the events leading up to the President's announcement, what any formal release of UFO documents would entail, but also why there is still a case for caution when it comes to our expectations regarding UFO disclosure under the Trump administration.
