UFO History Is Being Shaped in Washington - No One Knows How This Ends
No one knows how this will end.
It could become one of the most consequential moments in human history. Or, ten years from now, it may be little more than a fascinating story in a White House memoir - a glimpse of what might have been.
Last month, Liberation Times reported, citing multiple sources, that a presidential speech confirming that some UFOs - officially described as Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) - are of non-human origin had been prepared.
Liberation Times understands that the speech is now under consideration. It could be delivered before this November’s midterm elections. If it is not delivered by then, any plans could be abandoned.
The scale and gravity of what is unfolding have received remarkably little attention.
White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller is reportedly leading the administration’s work on UAP.
Meanwhile, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence has confirmed the creation of an Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Governance Board.
The interagency board brings together the military, law enforcement, the intelligence community and civilian agencies.
It is intended to coordinate investigations, improve the collection and analysis of information and assist with the ongoing UAP declassification process, which commenced in May 2026 following a directive from President Trump.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence has also confirmed that several groups of outside experts are advising the board.
Yet only one of those groups and its members has been publicly identified: the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Science Advisory Council.
The purpose, expertise and membership of the other advisory groups remain unknown. Those involved have not publicly revealed their roles.
Together, these developments point to an organised effort spanning the White House, the United States intelligence community and several fields of outside expertise.
Then, on Saturday 1 August, came perhaps the clearest indication yet that the White House is serious.
Representative Eric Burlison released a memorandum that the Trump administration had authorised his office to make public.
Signed the previous day by Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence Aaron Lukas, it implements President Trump’s direction to release current and former government employees and contractors from nondisclosure agreements, oaths and other commitments when reporting information about UAP to authorised officials.
It also directs that such information be provided to the newly created presidential task force - the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters - for review and potential declassification.
The memorandum was distributed to 18 senior intelligence, law-enforcement and military officials. Intelligence agencies have 30 days to appoint designated representatives and inform their workforces of the President’s order.
Its most extraordinary language goes further. It states that any prior or existing nondisclosure agreement that prevents information from being reported to the President or his designated representatives is no longer in force.
It must be noted that the memorandum provides no immunity or protection for those threatened or punished for violating NDAs.
However, these steps provide perhaps the clearest evidence yet that Trump is seriously contemplating further disclosure.
Liberation Times understands that advocates are now competing to shape what form any disclosure would take should the President decide to proceed. Sources familiar with the current effort say some private defence contractors and individuals with ties to the CIA are resisting broader disclosure.
Others involved in current efforts - from participants in White House discussions to members of the unidentified advisory groups - have remained silent.
One notable exception is television personality Dr Phil McGraw, a personal friend of the President.
In the latest episode of his podcast, released on 30 July, McGraw asked listeners to imagine the government standing at a podium and declaring: “We are not alone.”
He described such a declaration as potentially the biggest news in human history. He also warned that releasing the information without preparation or context could allow fear, rumour and exploitation to fill the void.
Taken alone, this might be dismissed as a dramatic thought experiment.
But McGraw later made several far more consequential statements.
He said he is engaged in an active dialogue with President Trump and the administration about the issue.
He also said he had advised the White House that any disclosure would require careful pacing and preparation.
McGraw then stated plainly: “I know President Trump is serious about this.”
His own sense of urgency became even clearer when the conversation turned to mental-health preparedness.
Speaking with clinical psychologist Dr Jennice Vilhauer, McGraw argued that an emergency response could not be constructed from scratch after an announcement.
“This is upon us. It is happening right now,” McGraw said.
At points, his language conveyed a striking sense of personal urgency.
McGraw described Dr John Whyte, chief executive and executive vice president of the American Medical Association, as a dear friend.
He then said he felt personally compelled to have a heart-to-heart conversation with Whyte about how the organisation’s existing infrastructure could help prepare for the consequences of disclosure.
McGraw does not appear to be treating the subject as entertainment. He appears to believe that something could happen - and that preparations should begin now.
Yet, at the time of writing on Sunday 2 August, his podcast episode had received just 69,317 views on YouTube.
That limited reach reflects a striking disconnect: while potentially historic machinery is being assembled in Washington, much of the public remains unaware of it.
Taken together, the developments are difficult to dismiss:
Since May 2026, the U.S. government has released four tranches of UAP records under a directive issued by President Trump
A presidential speech has allegedly been prepared
A senior White House official is reportedly directing the administration’s work
An interagency Governance Board has been established
Several groups of outside experts are advising it, although the identities and work of most remain concealed
A presidential task force is collecting government records and considering them for declassification
Government personnel are being released from nondisclosure agreements so they can report what they know - even where those agreements previously prevented information from reaching the President
And a personal friend of Donald Trump says he is discussing disclosure with the administration while considering how America’s medical and psychological institutions might be mobilised.
Whether this becomes a historic turning point or eventually fades into a White House memoir remains unknown.
Either way, current events deserve far greater scrutiny from the public and the press.
