The White House has quietly registered the domain Aliens.gov, sparking speculation that the Biden administration plans to disclose more information about UFOs and potential extraterrestrial life. This move comes about a month after former President Trump vowed to order the release of government records related to these topics.

Why it matters

The registration of Aliens.gov by the White House is seen as a significant development in the ongoing public fascination with UFOs and the possibility of alien life. It follows years of increased official and semi-official discussion around unidentified aerial phenomena, including congressional hearings and the release of Pentagon cockpit videos.

The details

The new domain was spotted by a bot tracking federal web domains, though the URL does not yet lead to a live site. The timing of the registration aligns with former President Trump's recent promise to order the release of government files on "extremely interesting and important" matters related to extraterrestrial life and UFOs, also known as unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP). While some outlets are skeptical that the domain will lead to any real disclosures, the White House has simply stated "Stay tuned" when asked about the new website address.

  • On February 2023, former President Obama stated in an interview that aliens are "real" but that he saw no evidence of Earth being visited during his presidency.
  • In late February 2023, former President Trump accused Obama of revealing "classified information" about aliens and suggested he might "get him out of trouble" by declassifying related material.
  • On March 19, 2026, the White House registered the domain Aliens.gov.
