Donald Trump’s re-election campaign includes a promise to release real-life X-Files footage to the public, despite his claim of not believing in aliens.
Donald Trump has vowed to share UFO close encounter videos from America’s real life X-Files if he is elected president again.
He said he will push the Pentagon to declassify footage of alleged close encounters so they can be shown to the public for the first time. Trump has had a decade-long fascination with aliens and unexplained sightings.
He told US podcaster Lex Fridman he would "surely" make secret UFO footage public.
Fridman asked him: "Will you help push the Pentagon to release more footage which a lot of people claim is available?"
Trump replied: "Oh yeah, sure, I’ll do that. I would do that. I’d love to do that. I have to do that."

The former President - who is the Republican candidate battling Democrat Kamala Harris for the keys to the White House - said: "There could be life on other planets."
He claimed he had come under pressure to declassify previous records of alien encounters. Though he had resisted before he pledged this time he would open up the X-Files.
"People begged me not to do it but I’ll be doing that very early on," he added. His vow comes a year after the Pentagon launched a probe into alleged UFO sightings by military personnel.
The investigations were supervised by the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office - aka AARO - founded in 2022 to allow servicemen to report unidentified aerial phenomena without fear of retaliation. While some have been identified as weather balloons many remain unexplained.
Trump previously told YouTuber Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast he had official discussions on alien life and UFOs during his first term as president. Though he said he was not personally a believer he said he could not rule out their existence.
He said he had met with pilots who looked like "beautiful Tom Cruise" who were "handsome, perfect people".
They told him they had encountered objects "round in form" and travelling four times faster than their fighter jets.
"I looked at these guys and they really mean it,’’ Trump said. "Am I a believer? No, I probably I can’t say I am. But I have met with people that are serious people that say there’s some really strange things that they see flying around out there."
Trump said there were some "very smart and very solid" people who believe there is something out there.
"You know it makes sense that they could be," he said. He said "you have no idea how many times" he has been asked about incidents like the 1947 alleged UFO crash in Roswell, New Mexico.
Trump had heard some "interesting things" about aliens and said he may declassify the files surrounding the notorious incident in which a rancher discovered a mysterious crash site in his field.
The US Air Force said it was a crashed weather balloon and later admitted it was part of a secret nuclear test. But rumours continue to circulate it was an extraterrestrial spacecraft filled with alien bodies that were recovered and taken to the US’s secretive Area 51 base in the Nevada desert.

After the 2020 release of videos of military pilots encountering UFOs, one of Trump’s last acts as president first time round was to sign a bill calling on intelligence agencies to get to the bottom of the sightings.
Last month former US defence department counter-intelligence expert Luis Elizondo claimed in a bombshell book that aliens secretly implanted microchips inside folk who have experienced close encounters.
The defence chief, who headed the US Government’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program - aka AATIP - launched in 2007 to investigate UFOs, said he had personally "handled" one of the "slimy" implants recovered from a member of the American armed forces.
He said the US Government has alien microchip-style implants in its possession along with material from crashed "non-human" spaceships and that Trump had been briefed on the nation’s UFO program during his presidency.
His claims echoed those of Pentagon whistleblower David Grusch, a former National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency official, who told Congress in a public hearing last year that the government is covering up a UFO crash retrieval program that has half a dozen spacecraft and even alien bodies.
