This market will resolve to "Yes" if the Trump administration declassifies any files pertaining to extraterrestrial life and/or unexplained aerial phenomena which were not previously publicly available between market creation and the specified date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". For purposes of this market, the “Trump administration” includes the Executive Office of the President and all executive branch departments, agencies, and subordinate offices under presidential authority during the Trump presidency, including the Department of Defense and its components. Announcements of declassifications that are not implemented within this market's timeframe will not count. The primary resolution source for declassification will be official information from the government of the United States; however, a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.
President Donald Trump directed federal agencies in February 2026 to identify and declassify UAP-related records, leading to the launch of the PURSUE system and an initial public release of over 160 files on May 8, 2026, followed by additional tranches on May 22, June 12, July 10, and August 7. The Pentagon and interagency partners, including ODNI, have posted videos, photos, and documents on a rolling basis, with many materials drawn from historical cases and recent reports that remain unresolved. Congressional advocates such as Representatives Tim Burchett and Anna Paulina Luna have pressed for continued transparency, while releases to date have not confirmed extraterrestrial activity. Further batches are expected on the existing schedule, though the pace and scope of new declassifications could shift based on agency review timelines or additional executive guidance.
