NASA chief pulls back curtain on Trump UFO files after bizarre finds surface in buried fed records
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said the Trump administration’s newly declassified UAP files are exposing years of strange aerial sightings that government agencies failed to seriously dig into — even if the records do not point to recovered alien remains or ships.
«What’s being surfaced isn’t crashed ships or alien bodies, but real unexplained phenomena,» Isaacman told Fox News Digital in an interview Friday.
The disclosures come after the Trump administration released two waves of declassified UAP files as part of a broader transparency effort directing agencies to search internal databases for decades-old reports involving unexplained aerial activity after years of public skepticism surrounding government secrecy and UFO investigations. Officials say additional file releases from agencies including the CIA could soon follow.
TRUMP ADMIN RELEASES HIGHLY ANTICIPATED FILES DOCUMENTING UFOS, ‘EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE’

Isaacman framed the disclosures less as proof of extraterrestrial life than as a public test of unexplained evidence, saying modern cameras, military sensors and newly released government records are giving Americans more material to examine than ever before.
«Everybody’s got a camera phone, a doorbell camera. Every military aircraft flying has a million sensors,» Isaacman said. «You’re gonna pick up things. Pick up things that flew at a different angle, you know, across the lens that maybe if you had a better angle on, you’d be like, oh, that’s a balloon, or that might be a missile in a combat region. But because we caught it at an angle, it’s an unexplained phenomenon.»
Isaacman said the biggest surprise was not evidence of extraterrestrials, but how little attention federal agencies had historically given to unexplained aerial records, calling the renewed disclosure effort under the Trump administration «citizen science.»

«Government agencies really didn’t take this quite as seriously in the past until President Trump put out the tweet, basically giving an order to government agencies and going out and saying, look, this time you better go through the files, you better start searching your databases and bring things up,» said Isaacman.
«I think the president has really got government agencies now taking this seriously, to go look at the files and bring the data to light, and he’s putting it all out for everyone to analyze,» he added. «This is citizen science right now. Take a look at our files, tell us what you think.»
The newly surfaced material includes infrared footage from 2023 that appears to show a U.S. F-16 shooting down a diamond-shaped object over Lake Huron, along with reports documenting unexplained aerial objects spotted near military operations in Iran, Syria, Iraq, Greece and other parts of the Middle East. The records also include astronaut and NASA-related accounts from the Apollo and Gemini eras describing strange lights and unidentified objects observed in space.
UFO EXPERT SAYS TRUMP’S DECLASSIFICATION COULD EXPOSE POSSIBLE ‘COVER-UP’ SPANNING DECADES
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the Trump administration is directing agencies to revisit long-buried UAP records in the name of transparency, while Isaacman said additional «big file tranches» from intelligence agencies could soon become public.

«There’s nothing I’m aware of in terms of alien bodies or spaceships,» Isaacman said. «But observations from decades past — from some of our adversaries and potentially some of our allies — essentially saying, ‘We saw something, we documented it, and we kept it buried in a file somewhere,’ are now being made public.»
The documents also contain testimony from intelligence officers and military pilots who said they could not explain encounters they witnessed during operations and training exercises.
Isaacman said he personally believes life likely exists elsewhere in the universe and argued that searching for it remains central to NASA’s long-term mission.
«I think if we go and bring samples back from Mars, you’ve got better than a 90% chance of former microbial life,» he said.
DECLASSIFIED APOLLO MISSION UFO FILES CHALLENGE LONG-RUNNING MOON LANDING CONSPIRACY THEORIES
Isaacman also pointed to Saturn’s moon Titan and Jupiter’s moon Europa as locations scientists believe may contain conditions capable of supporting microbial life or biosignatures — chemical indicators associated with living organisms.
Officials say additional UFO and UAP files will continue to be released in future batches as part of the administration’s ongoing disclosure effort. (Guvendemir/Getty Images)
«Things that could indicate perhaps that there was microbial life there or some other form there of which it changes the whole equation from surely there is life out there somewhere to what if it’s everywhere,» said Isaacman.
Isaacman also argued that broader public disclosure could help reduce skepticism at a time when advances in artificial intelligence and digital manipulation are making it increasingly difficult for people to distinguish authentic footage from fabricated material.

«I would say that some of the most interesting data that NASA has provided as part of the UAP disclosure was taken on the surface of the moon from Apollo 12 and 17,» he said. «You can’t be a moon landing denier and also believe that those photos captured unexplained phenomenon.»
Officials say additional UFO and UAP files will continue to be released in future batches as part of the administration’s ongoing disclosure effort.

Mike Sarraille: Trump’s Iran deal uses economic handcuffs, not a payoff
Retired Navy SEAL Mike Sarraille discusses President Donald Trump’s performance-based Iran peace deal. He explains the $300 billion private sector funding serves as economic handcuffs, providing leverage for the next 60 days of negotiation. Sarraille highlights that U.S. military pressure and troop presence in the region will ensure Iran’s compliance with the agreement terms.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris took an apparent shot at the Trump administration’s Iran deal, saying it could hurt Republicans in the midterm elections during a public appearance at a climate summit in Vienna on Tuesday.
«This is a war the American people did not want. This is a War of Choice. This is a president who has proven himself to be entirely self-indulgent. And we will see what happens in the coming hours and days in terms of the negotiation. And really, it’s a concept of an agreement,» said Harris at the Austrian World Summit hosted by the Schwarzenegger Climate Initiative.
While Trump’s memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Iran has not been released, comparisons to former President Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal have reemerged. According to administration officials, the agreement would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and require Iran to halt nuclear weapons development and support for terrorism.

Harris has seized the moment to reignite a political fight over which approach did more to curb Iran’s ambitions.
«Whatever is being negotiated, this president is going to declare victory, and we’ll end up where we were after the JCPOA and call that a victory, the JPOA that he withdrew from,» said Harris.
Republicans are entering the November midterm elections amid concerns that many Americans continue to feel the strain of elevated gas and grocery prices. Trump administration officials have repeatedly emphasized that, under the MOU, consumers are expected to see relief at the gas pump beginning this summer.

«There is a direct correlation between this war of choice and what has happened in terms of gas prices. It is estimated the average American has spent, since the war started, $500 more because of this war,» Harris said.
«I have no question or doubt that we will win the midterms, and it will be a result of people of every background and political association who will contribute to that outcome,» she added.
Oil prices fell on Monday to their lowest levels since early March after a preliminary U.S.-Iran agreement raised hopes that traffic through the Strait could soon return to normal.

Fideicomiso ambiental para el café en El Salvador podría recibir prórroga de cinco años
Diputados avalaron este 15 de junio un dictamen para ampliar por cinco años el fideicomiso ambiental para la conservación del bosque cafetalero «FICAFÉ“, administrado por Bandesal, y sumar USD 554.615 al presupuesto del Ministerio de Agricultura y Ganadería para financiar el programa “Progresar Rural”.
La Comisión de Hacienda y Especial del Presupuesto avaló la prórroga del fideicomiso, creado en 2001 y próximo a vencer en julio de 2026. La medida busca mantener respaldo financiero para el sector cafetalero ante la volatilidad de los precios internacionales, enfermedades como la roya y los efectos del cambio climático.
Según Luis Mendoza, gerente de Gobierno Corporativo de Bandesal, explicó que FICAFÉ, cuya constitución se rige por el Código de Comercio, alcanzó su límite legal de 25 años. La extensión permitirá mantener operativa la estructura fiduciaria hasta 2031 y dar continuidad a los créditos y certificados fiduciarios gestionados por la institución.
Andrés Rosa, gerente de Fondos y Fideicomisos de Bandesal, señaló que los principales fideicomitentes de FICAFÉ son el Banco de Fomento Agropecuario, Banco Hipotecario, Banco Agrícola, Banco Cuscatlán y Banco Davivienda.
Esas entidades han canalizado recursos para financiar actividades vinculadas al cultivo y la exportación de café, un rubro con aporte en divisas, generación de empleo y encadenamientos productivos y turísticos.
Durante la sesión, los diputados señalaron que el sector cafetalero tiene impacto en la empleabilidad y el dinamismo económico de El Salvador. También destacaron el papel de Bandesal en el otorgamiento de créditos y fideicomisos para sostener actividades agropecuarias.
“El sector cafetalero ahora incursiona directamente en el turismo y amplía la productividad de las fincas, ofreciendo experiencias a nacionales y extranjeros”, dijo uno de los legisladores durante la transmisión.
FICAFÉ fue diseñado para emitir certificados de participación respaldados por carteras de crédito orientadas a productores y exportadores. Mendoza afirmó que, desde su creación, hubo obstáculos como decretos de suspensión de embargo que impidieron la recuperación total de la cartera crediticia.
El funcionario agregó que la ampliación del plazo representa “un respiro” para el sector, porque facilita condiciones para cumplir obligaciones financieras y mantener la producción frente a escenarios adversos.
La iniciativa presidencial, tramitada a través del viceministro de Agricultura y Ganadería, recibió respaldo unánime de los diputados presentes. Según el dictamen favorable, la prórroga busca fortalecer la capacidad de respuesta ante los desafíos climáticos y económicos que afectan a la caficultura.
“La adaptación del sector a nuevas condiciones requiere apoyo mediante inversiones y condiciones favorables que faciliten el cumplimiento de sus obligaciones crediticias”, se lee en el documento leído por la diputada Rebeca Rodríguez.
Fuentes de la comisión indicaron que, sin la ampliación, el instrumento legal habría expirado en menos de dos meses, lo que habría dejado sin respaldo a cientos de productores.
En la misma jornada, la Comisión de Hacienda avaló la incorporación de USD 554.615 al presupuesto del Ministerio de Agricultura y Ganadería para financiar el Programa de Desarrollo Sostenible, Inclusivo y Nutricional de las Zonas Rurales (Progresar Rural).
Los fondos, provenientes de un préstamo con el Fondo Internacional de Desarrollo Agrícola (FIDA), se destinarán a la contratación de personal especializado, compra de equipo de oficina, vehículos y la implementación de planes de capacitación y asistencia técnica para zonas rurales.
Durante la presentación, Marlon Omar Herrera, director general de Inversión y Créditos del Ministerio de Hacienda, dijo que el objetivo es transformar la situación productiva y alimentaria nacional mediante sistemas sostenibles, diversificación agropecuaria y fortalecimiento de la seguridad alimentaria.
El dictamen aprobado precisa que los recursos se usarán para fortalecer la unidad ejecutora del programa, implementar capacitaciones y asegurar la provisión de herramientas necesarias para el desarrollo de actividades productivas en las zonas rurales.

Trump says Senate hearing on DNI nominee is cancelled until US attorney replacement confirmed
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump declared in an early Wednesday morning Truth Social post that a scheduled Senate hearing on Jay Clayton’s nomination to serve as director of national intelligence would not move forward Wednesday.
The U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence has a hearing on Clayton’s nomination for DNI scheduled for Wednesday afternoon.
But the president said the hearing will not take place until Jamie McDonald has been confirmed to fill the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York post.
President Trump tied the move to an ongoing dispute over renewal of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, claiming Democrats backed away from an agreement to support the surveillance authority after Republicans agreed to move away from Bill Pulte as acting DNI. The provision allows U.S. intelligence agencies to collect communications of foreign targets located outside the U.S.

The president further said he would not support renewal of FISA authorities unless Congress also advances the SAVE AMERICA ACT, a voting-security measure backed by the administration.
Clayton’s hearing had been scheduled amid a broader debate over the future of U.S. intelligence leadership and the reauthorization of key surveillance authorities.
TRUMP NOMINATES JAY CLAYTON, FORMER SEC CHAIRMAN, CURRENT US ATTORNEY, AS INTELLIGENCE DIRECTOR
«Regarding the approval of our Great Patriot, Jay Clayton, we are cancelling the Senate Hearing RE: DNI today, and will not be going forward until Jamie McDonald is approved to be U.S. Attorney. In the meantime, Bill Pulte will remain as the Acting Director of National Intelligence. Thank you for your attention to this matter!» Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Wednesday.
Pulte «will take over on June 19th,» the president declared in a post last week.

«The Republicans agreed with Dumocrats to remove very fair, and talented, William Pulte, from serving as Acting DNI in return for getting FISA approved by the Dumocrats. However, the Republicans moved so fast with the hearings of the Great Jay Clayton, current U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, that Pulte would be gone before the Dumocrats would vote on FISA. Now, the Dumocrats are saying they will vote against FISA — So, the Republicans wound up having fulfilled their commitment, but Dumocrats broke the Deal,» Trump said in his post on Wednesday morning.

«In addition, the newly nominated U.S. Attorney, Jamie McDonald, must be confirmed and blue slipped. Because of the ridiculous views of Republicans on blue slipping (Dumocrats are often willing to nix it), I may not be able to get the extraordinary Sullivan & Cromwell Partner, Jamie, approved, and I don’t want to take Jay Clayton away from the great job he is doing until Jamie is in place. Therefore, to add a slight bit of intrigue but, for the Good of the Nation, and the People of our Country, I will not approve FISA without THE SAVE AMERICA ACT going along with it. Not complicated, actually, the Republicans fell into a trap,» he added.
