Trump Tells White House NASA Astronauts Event UAP Files 'Very, Very Soon', Pentagon Confirms 'Never-Before-Seen' UAP Coordination

At a White House event on Wednesday 3 May 2026 honouring returning NASA astronauts, President Donald Trump again told reporters the Pentagon was preparing to release additional UAP records, saying 'we found many very interesting documents' and that the 'first releases will begin very, very soon.' The Pentagon confirmed in a statement that the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) is working with the White House on 'never-before-seen UAP information', the first explicit Pentagon-side acknowledgement of cross-agency coordination on a release. The remarks repeat the 'very soon' formulation Trump used at the Phoenix rally on 18 April. No specific release date, document set, or declassification authority was named, and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna's 14 April deadline for 46 UAP video files remains unmet at T+19 days.
