Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated Tuesday that President Donald Trump would conduct a primetime television address and release photographic and video evidence of unidentified anomalous phenomena if the administration possessed such material. Speaking with Katie Miller on her podcast, Rubio addressed persistent claims that the federal government conceals knowledge of UAPs, asserting the current administration maintains transparency on the matter.
Rubio outlined his longstanding interest in UAPs dating to his Senate tenure, emphasizing the need for serious investigation. “There are things flying over our military installations, and they’re not ours, and we should look into this,” Rubio said, distinguishing between legitimate inquiry and conspiracy theories regarding potential government cover-ups.
White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly confirmed that Trump directed the Department of War to release classified files concerning extraterrestrial life and unidentified aerial phenomena. Kelly characterized the initiative as evidence of Trump’s commitment to transparency, contrasting his approach with previous administrations that “sought to discredit or dissuade the American people.”
Rubio acknowledged employing UAP discussions as a diversionary tactic during his Senate years while maintaining the subject deserves serious attention. The admission prompted criticism from Joshua Golembeske, lead investigator for Gaia’s “Cosmic Disclosure,” who argued the remarks undermine efforts to combat stigma preventing witnesses from coming forward.
Trump administration officials announced in July that the president directed federal agencies to waive nondisclosure agreements for former employees and contractors providing UAP-related information to designated government bodies. Officials emphasized the action differed from declassification directives, permitting disclosure only through official government channels.
Golembeske challenged Rubio’s assurance about presidential transparency, citing intelligence whistleblower David Grusch’s testimony that such programs were withheld from Congress and the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office established to investigate UAPs. “I wasn’t briefed doesn’t mean there’s nothing there,” Golembeske stated.
