Feb. 20, 2026, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government Executive Director Robert Romano today issued the following statement urging President Donald Trump to not only disclose documents on aliens, extraterrestrials, unidentified aerial phenomena, and unidentified flying objects but also any underlying, definitive evidence the government or government contractors have in their possession:
“Prior to announcing he would identify and release government files on aliens, extraterrestrials, unidentified aerial phenomena and unidentified flying objects, President Trump told Peter Doocy aboard Air Force One: ‘I don’t know if they’re real or not.’ The President is right to be skeptical — and so should the American people — about anything released in this context. Too often in these disclosure releases, documents include eyewitness or second-hand accounts, intelligence analyses and estimates, yet offer zero definitive evidence or hard data. When the New Jersey drones were flying around and the government suggested it didn’t know what they were, and others have been called to testify before Congress, saying they didn’t know what they were observing in other cases, that not even the government knows, it caused mass hysteria. Why should we trust what’s in the archives? Is the truth really in there? Sadly, what we’re likely to get are papers suggesting aliens might explain the UAPs or UFOs, or that alien craft has crashed, and wreckage and remains were recovered, but without proving it, conceding the government government is clueless about the true nature of this national security threat. That we’re vulnerable. These are scientific questions at their core but the world’s top physicists are still publicly wrestling with the Fermi paradox. How can something like this be kept hidden from the world’s foremost experts who, if the scientific process were being followed publicly with peer review, we could be getting real answers. The real test for any revelation that we are not alone in the universe — and that we’ve been visited — isn’t just to tell us. It’s to show us. Prove it. Make the evidence testable and falsifiable. We don’t just need disclosure. We need definitive data. Proof. And then tell us what is being done to address this ongoing national security threat, or all we might accomplish is frightening people.”

President Donald Trump says he will identify and release the government’s UFO files: “Based on the tremendous interest shown, I will be directing the Secretary of War, and other relevant Departments and Agencies, 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 any and all other information connected to these highly complex, but extremely interesting and important, matters. GOD BLESS AMERICA!” Feb. 19, 2026 at https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116100300268316472
