Filmmaker Mark Christopher Lee claims that former President Donald Trump has a speech prepared that could disclose information about extraterrestrial life, a development he refers to as a "soft disclosure."
Lee told the Daily Mail that multiple sources within Washington, including businessman Robert Bigelow and television producer David Broadwell, have indicated that such a speech exists and is "ready to go." While White House officials have stated no such speech is planned, Lee suggested it could be imminent. He noted that the speech might reference specific UFO incidents like the 1947 Roswell crash, the 2004 "Tic Tac" encounter by the US Navy, and sightings by fighter jets along the East Coast in 2015, asserting that these involved craft and beings of "non-human origin."
According to Lee, the speech would also address past government secrecy, announce declassification steps, the formation of a new interagency task force, and foster international cooperation, framing the disclosure as "not a threat, but an opportunity to unite humanity."
Trump himself has previously expressed an openness to transparency regarding UFOs, though he has described his personal interest as skeptical. "Am I a believer? No, I probably can't say I am. But I have met with people who are serious people who say there are some really strange things that they see flying around out there," Trump said in a podcast appearance last year.
Lee's claims are partly based on information from Robert Bigelow, founder of Bigelow Aerospace and a significant donor to Trump's 2024 campaign. Lee alleges Bigelow has claimed credit for influencing Trump to prepare the speech. Bigelow reportedly discussed UFOs and paranormal activity with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in December, according to a Rolling Stone report.
David Broadwell, known for his work on paranormal investigation series, also reportedly heard discussions about the speech from his sources in Washington.
Lee's predictions, which he shared with the Daily Mail in January, have reportedly aligned with subsequent events, including the Pentagon's release of UFO files starting in May and increased scrutiny from Capitol Hill. Lee also noted that Trump ordered the Pentagon to disclose all files related to UFOs and the search for alien life on February 19, following comments by former President Obama about the reality of aliens.
Since Trump's order, the Department of Defense has released three sets of files on a dedicated website, attracting over a billion views. These documents include videos, audio recordings, images, and reports from various government agencies documenting unexplained encounters. However, none have provided definitive proof of alien visitation.
Lee suggested that a potential speech might be timed to coincide with the NATO summit in Turkey on July 8, the anniversary of the Roswell incident, though he expressed less certainty about the exact timing. He posited that this timing could serve to frame UFOs and aliens as a common threat to NATO members, preempting Russia and China in a perceived "UFO Cold War."
While Lee believes the speech is imminent, he has also stated he felt "misled and used" by insiders regarding the speed of disclosure. Nevertheless, he maintains his core belief in the existence of the prepared speech. The Roswell incident, which originated with a military announcement of a recovered "flying disc" that was later retracted and explained as a weather balloon, remains a cornerstone of modern extraterrestrial lore, with many believing it involved an alien spacecraft and bodies. Recent testimonies from whistleblowers before Congress have called for further disclosure of alleged government programs related to recovering crashed UFOs.jsonjson-ld, I am unable to fulfill this request.
