What happened
The White House launched a website called Aliens.gov and the President announced they are releasing a large amount of information about, quote, 'extraterrestrial things.' A former government aviation security official went on record saying the craft being discussed are 'nothing that we can build, or have built.' It hit number one trending online.
Why it matters
The context behind the story.
Whether this turns out to be a genuine disclosure, a political distraction, or something in between — the fact that the official White House account is posting flying saucer videos and directing people to Aliens.gov is genuinely unprecedented. People have been asking governments for transparency on this topic for decades. Something is shifting, even if we don't know yet what that something is.
Takeaway
Aliens.gov is a real website now. Whatever comes next, we're in new territory.
