Three Legal Questions That Shape This Debate:
- Presidential Prerogative or National Security Risk? The power of a U.S. president to declassify UFO information and the legal framework behind it.
- The NDA Paradox: How nondisclosure agreements silence insiders like Lou Elizondo and complicate government transparency.
- Will Congress Push for Accountability? AARO’s upcoming testimony and the legal challenges to uncovering hidden truths.

[USA HERALD] – The prospect of unlocking classified UFO or UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) secrets has fascinated Americans for decades. With President-elect Trump preparing to take office, the question looms: does the president have the legal authority to disclose the truth about UFOs? The short answer? Yes — but it’s complicated.
As the Pentagon’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) prepares to testify to Congress today, it’s clear that public interest in UFO transparency has never been higher. Yet, the web of secrecy surrounding UAP programs—bolstered by nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) and national security statutes—continues to frustrate citizens, lawmakers, and journalists alike.
