# At the order of U.S. President Donald Trump, the Defense Department on Friday released dozens of previously classified files on alleged UFO sightings to provide what it called “unprecedented transparency” to the American people. However, analysts said many of the documents had already been made public. The disclosure of documents, photos and videos of “unidentified anomalous phenomena” will be followed by future releases as more materials are declassified. The records release is likely to fuel fresh debate over government secrecy and the possible existence of life in the cosmos.
