Trump declassifies UFO files in 2025? This market will resolve to "Yes" if the Trump administration declassifies any previously classified files pertaining to extraterrestrial life and/or unexplained arial phenomena by December 31, 2025, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Announcements of declassifications that are not implemented within this market's timeframe will not count. The primary resolution source for declassification will be official information from the government of the United States, however a consensus of credible reporting will also be used. Opened 2025-04-17; closed 2025-12-10. ONLY use sources between opened and closed dates
Answer
false
- scope
- Limited to files on extraterrestrial life and/or UAP specifically; the January 2025 executive order and related releases concerning JFK/RFK/MLK assassination records do not count toward this question.
- implemented
- The files must have been physically/formally released and made accessible within the market window (2025-04-17 through 2025-12-10) to count; announcements of future declassification without release do not satisfy this.
- declassifies
- An actual, implemented release of previously classified U.S. government files pertaining to extraterrestrial life and/or unexplained aerial phenomena (UAP), not merely an announcement or promise of future release.
