Americans are waiting with bated breath for the official announcement of President Donald Trump‘s UFO disclosure, which an insider believes will reveal ‘reality-bending secrets.’
Trump made the order in February, directing the Pentagon to release all government files on UFOs and extraterrestrials in a move that could finally pull back the curtain on decades of closely guarded mysteries.
Joshua Golembeske, a field investigator for one of the world’s oldest civilian UFO research organizations, the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), told the Daily Mail: ‘This is significant. A sitting US president publicly calling for the release of UAP-related information is unprecedented.
‘So the question is: what, if anything, is being withheld from the public and why? What reality-bending secrets or world-changing technologies could be sitting inside these programs?
Golembeske suggested the release could include confirmation of certain events, such as the infamous Roswell crash, the ‘Tic Tac’ incident in 2004, as well as lesser-known cases like the 1978 Fort Dix encounter.
He also said the path to full disclosure would unfold in four stages, beginning with official acknowledgment that humans are not alone, followed by efforts to define exactly what the mysterious phenomena are.
That would then be followed by revelations about the nature of the beings involved, whether extraterrestrial, interdimensional or something else entirely, before addressing the technology and long-standing questions tied to the encounters.
‘First comes acknowledgment that we are not alone… and then it gets weird,’ Golembeske said, describing what he believes will be a slow and carefully managed rollout of information.

Trump’s order covers records on ‘alien and extraterrestrial life,’ UFOs and ‘any and all other information connected’ to these subjects.
‘Trump now has a group of lawmakers backing him, demanding answers and openly challenging what’s often referred to as the ‘legacy program,” said Golembeske.
‘That term describes a decades-long effort with three potential areas: crash retrieval of unknown technology, reverse engineering through private aerospace, and a coordinated disinformation layer.’
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth was tasked with leading the effort to produce these files, with some proponents suggesting this could force the acknowledgment of evidence.
Less than a month later, on March 18, the White House registered the domain ‘aliens.gov,’ and weeks later, the website showed a sign of activity.
The federal domain aliens.gov, which previously appeared inactive, is now returning an SSL error, a technical signal that the address may be connected to a live server but is not yet fully configured for public access.
An SSL error typically occurs when a server is set up, but the digital certificate required to establish a secure connection has not been obtained.
This usually means the domain is no longer dormant and may be undergoing development, even if no visible content has been published.
Another famous UFO case that could be solved is the 1947 Rosewell incident. Pictured is a military official holding what was initially believed to be an alien craft
The US Army initially reported as a ‘flying disc’ before quickly retracting the statement to nothing but a weather balloon.
‘We’re already in disclosure, and something significant has already been found,’ Golembeske said. ‘The evidence is overwhelming that we are being visited, and the government knows it.
‘Too many military and public officials have come forward, too many large-scale studies, too many consistent sightings over decades, too many multi-radar, multi-witness events.’
He added that when it comes to well-known military cases, the public should not expect full disclosures, but may see confirmation that certain events were genuine encounters.
Those include the 1974 Roswell incident in New Mexico, where a rancher found unusual debris, which the US Army initially reported as a ‘flying disc’ before quickly retracting the statement to nothing but a weather balloon.
Golembeske also suggested Americans could finally get the truth about the oblong ‘Tic-Tac’ object spotted going at incredible speeds by Navy pilots off the California coast, which was also picked up on sonar underwater.
On November 14 2004, Top Gun fighter pilot David Fravor was flying a training exercise off the coast of San Diego when he was rerouted to investigate a strange object spotted on radar by warships protecting his aircraft carrier, the USS Nimitz.
The Phoenix Lights were a series of sightings on March 13, 1997, when thousands of people across Phoenix and surrounding areas reported seeing a massive V-shaped formation of lights moving silently across the night sky
He said he saw a roughly 40-foot white object with no windows or wings, shaped like a Tic-Tac, flitting about above the sea that was roiling below it, disturbed by something large submerged beneath the surface.
Fravor told Congress in 2023 that as he circled the object, it turned to mirror his movements, then shot off past him at thousands of miles per hour, somehow stopping a second later at a secret pre-designated rendezvous point 60 miles away, which only he and a handful of Navy staff on his ship were given ahead of their training exercise.
Disclosure about the 1978 Fort Dix encounter may also be released, according to Golembeske, which refers to reports that soldiers at the New Jersey base claimed to have seen a glowing unidentified object moving low over the base during a nighttime training exercise.
According to accounts circulated by UFO researchers, multiple personnel allegedly witnessed the object before it quickly disappeared from view.
The incident remains controversial because there are no widely released official military records confirming it, and most details come from later retellings rather than contemporaneous reports.
The UFO expert said he would be interested to see files on the 1980s Hudson Valley UFO sightings
The Hudson Valley UFO sightings refer to hundreds of reports between 1982 and 1986 of large, slow-moving triangular objects seen across parts of the Hudson Valley
‘Personally, I’d be most interested in deeper insight into major UFO waves over the past 50 years, events like the Phoenix Lights and the Hudson Valley sightings, which involved large numbers of witnesses and still lack clear explanations,’ Golembeske said.
The Phoenix Lights were a series of sightings on March 13, 1997, when thousands of people across Phoenix and surrounding areas reported seeing a massive V-shaped formation of lights moving silently across the night sky.
Witnesses described the lights as part of a huge craft that appeared to hover before slowly drifting out of view. Military officials later said some of the lights were flares dropped during training exercises, but many witnesses have disputed that explanation.
The Hudson Valley UFO sightings refer to hundreds of reports between 1982 and 1986 of large, slow-moving triangular objects seen across parts of the Hudson Valley.
Witnesses, including police officers and residents, described formations of bright lights that moved silently at low altitude over highways and towns.
Investigators later suggested some sightings may have been caused by groups of private pilots flying in formation, though many observers believed the objects remained unexplained.
Golembeske said the release of these records and others would likely unfold in stages, beginning with limited confirmations before expanding into deeper revelations about what the government believes it has encountered.
The first step, acknowledgement, would be followed by defining what the various phenomena actually are.
President Donald Trump announced the disclosure order in February, directing the Pentagon to release records on ‘alien and extraterrestrial life,’ UFOs and ‘any and all other information connected’ to these subjects
Golembeske was skeptical about whether Americans would be told the sightings are coming from spacefaring extraterrestrials from our galaxy, time-traveling humans or interdimensional entities outside our known reality.
He highlighted how Florida Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna said she had seen evidence of ‘interdimensional beings.’
In the next stage of release, he said he expects officials would reveal the technology that has been recovered.
This phase would focus on what governments may have learned from alleged recovered materials, including whether any advanced technologies were reverse-engineered.
The final step would involve answering broader questions about why these encounters are happening, why many reported beings appear humanoid and whether there are historical or religious connections tied to the phenomenon.
‘Once that’s established, the real questions begin, the ones that could change everything,‘ he said.
