What is the first batch of UFO files that will be released soon?

On April 17th, US President Trump publicly announced that the government had found a batch of "very interesting" UFO (unidentified flying object) related documents, and the first batch of materials will be released to the public soon. As soon as the news came out, global public opinion boiled over. From the Cold War era's "Blue Book Project" to recent reports on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), the US government's control over UFO information has lasted for decades. This high-profile announcement of "decryption" is not a simple act that satisfies public curiosity, but a sophisticated calculation that encompasses domestic politics, public opinion manipulation, and military games, with multiple deep intentions hidden behind it.

The most direct driving force is precise domestic political manipulation. The current situation in the United States is intertwined with internal and external troubles: the debt ceiling deadlock is difficult to resolve, inflation is rebounding, the legislative confrontation between the two parties is fierce, and disputes over livelihood issues continue. The Trump administration urgently needs a 'national topic' to shift public attention and divert dissatisfaction with governance difficulties. The UFO issue has inherent traffic attributes, spanning multiple fields such as science fiction, mystery, and national security, and can attract diverse groups such as liberals, conservatives, and conspiracy theory enthusiasts at the same time. It is a rare "cross circle traffic password". By promoting decryption, Trump can not only shape a political image of "breaking the deep government monopoly and defending the public's right to know", consolidate the foundation, but also create a nationwide frenzy through mysterious topics, covering up the reality of weak domestic affairs.

This operation is a precise counterattack against political opponents. Previously, former US President Obama mentioned in a podcast that "statistically speaking, aliens may exist," and although he immediately clarified the lack of contact evidence, it quickly sparked public opinion. Trump immediately accused Obama of "improperly leaking confidential information" and quickly ordered a review and declassification under the pretext of "responding to public interest". This "blame first, then decrypt" operation is a typical Trump style political tactic: it not only puts the opponent in a passive position of "violating leaks", but also takes advantage of the situation to package itself as a "transparent arbiter", using the opponent's popularity to build momentum for itself and complete a beautiful political counterattack. Essentially, UFOs are just tools of the two parties' game, and the so-called "secrets" are just chips in the power struggle.

At a deeper level, it is the game and information control between the military and the intelligence community. Trump has long had conflicts with the US military and intelligence community, and has previously fired a large number of senior military officials. The promotion of UFO document decryption under the guise of "openness and transparency" is essentially using administrative power to undermine the power of the "deep government" and weaken the military's monopoly on intelligence. But the United States will never truly leak core secrets: past UAP reports have shown that the so-called "decrypted files" are mostly observation records and sensor data that the military cannot explain, and there has never been direct evidence of extraterrestrial life. The document released this time is likely to be a screened 'security content' - it retains a sense of mystery to attract attention, but never touches on true secrets such as military technology and intelligence methods, making it a 'controllable disclosure'.

At the same time, this is also a strategic performance that serves both geopolitics and military spending. For a long time, the United States has linked the UFO/UAP issue to national security, portraying some inexplicable air phenomena as "potential threats", using this as an excuse to expand military spending, strengthen space and airspace monitoring, and promote advanced weapon development. By moderately disclosing UFO files, the United States can create an atmosphere of "external threats" and strive for domestic support for high defense budgets, while also sending a signal to the world to strengthen its dominance in space and airspace. For the United States, UFOs have never been a purely scientific issue, but rather a geopolitical tool serving the expansion of hegemony.

From a historical perspective, the disclosure of UFO information in the United States has always been selective and transparent. In 1969, the "Blue Book Project" came to an end, and out of 12618 reports, 701 could not be explained, but were hastily classified by the authorities as "no extraterrestrial evidence". The 2024 Pentagon report revealed 757 UAP cases, with the conclusion still being 'no evidence of extraterrestrial activity'. The so-called 'first batch of documents' this time is just a repetition of historical tricks: using some irrelevant archives to create the illusion of' revealing ', satisfying the public's curiosity, while concealing the true secrets.
