Government Registers “Aliens.gov” Domain in Washington, D.C. Following Trump Disclosure Order

An automated federal domain tracker confirmed on Wednesday, March 18, 2026, that the U.S. government has officially registered "Aliens.gov."

 The domain, managed under the Executive Office of the President and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), appeared just weeks after President Donald Trump issued a high-profile directive to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to declassify all government files related to unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP).

The registration comes amid a surge of public interest sparked by a February 19 announcement from the President, who promised the "most transparent" disclosure of extraterrestrial records in history. 

"Based on the tremendous interest shown, I will be directing the Secretary of War and other relevant departments to begin identifying and releasing government files," Trump stated. 

Defense Secretary Hegseth confirmed the Pentagon is currently "digging in" to comply with the order, though he cautioned that the review process would take time.

The timing of the domain registration coincided with reports of a massive daytime fireball that streaked across the sky on Tuesday, March 17.

 NASA’s All Sky Fireball Network confirmed that a 7-ton meteor exploded over Northeast Ohio at roughly 9:00 a.m., creating a sonic boom heard across ten states.

 While scientists identified the event as a natural celestial occurrence, the visual of a "fireball in the sky" has fueled intense speculation online alongside the "Aliens.gov" news.

Critics and political analysts remain skeptical, with some suggesting the sudden focus on extraterrestrial life is a strategic "shiny object" designed to divert attention from more pressing domestic and international issues. 

Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) referred to the move as the "ultimate weapon of mass distraction," suggesting it serves to bury headlines regarding the escalating war in Iran and the ongoing congressional probe into the Epstein files.

While the "Aliens.gov" site is currently a blank page with no active content, its existence marks a departure from the government’s previous UAP reporting hub, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). 

Proponents of disclosure, such as Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb, have expressed hope that the new initiative will finally provide scientific evidence of non-human technology, specifically calling for the release of data from decades-old events.

Whether the site will eventually host the "biggest secret in human history" or simply act as a centralized archive for previously redacted reports remains to be seen.

 For now, the White House has not responded to requests for comment on the specific launch date for the portal.
