Summary
Marco Rubio said Trump would show UAP pictures and videos and likely give a primetime address if the administration had stronger evidence, rejecting the idea that this White House is hiding what it knows.
Rubio said the issue remains serious because unidentified objects have flown over U.S. military installations, though he also admitted he long used UAP questions as an effective diversion tactic with reporters.
The White House pointed to Trump’s push for “maximum disclosure,” while the Pentagon has already released several UAP videos in 2026.
In July, Trump also directed agencies to waive prior NDAs for former officials and contractors who want to share UAP information with AARO or the administration’s PURSUE task force.
Joshua Golembeske, a UAP investigator, said Rubio’s joking about the topic undercuts efforts to reduce stigma and argued unbriefed officials still may not know about compartmentalized programs.
