TRUMP NOT BRIEFED ON ROSWELL AND UFO RECOVERY, INVESTIGATION REVEALS
AI-Generated Summary
This article investigates the likelihood that former President Donald J. Trump was briefed on UFO retrieval programs, concluding that he was likely excluded due to security concerns and institutional barriers. It cites testimony from officials like Marco Rubio and historical precedents involving Bill Clinton to argue that such secrets are often withheld from presidents.
This article, published by UFO Explorations in February/March 2026, presents an investigation into whether former President Donald J. Trump was ever briefed on the 1947 Roswell, New Mexico crash or subsequent government UFO retrieval programs. The author, Anthony Bragalia, argues that it is highly improbable that Trump was ever read into these matters. The article cites several lines of reasoning to support this conclusion. First, it references statements from various officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who suggested in the documentary 'The Age of Disclosure' that elite programs often restrict information flow even from the commander-in-chief. Second, it highlights the concerns of intelligence community members regarding Trump's security practices, noting that officials purposely withheld sensitive information from him due to fears of leaks. Third, the article analyzes a 2020 podcast interview where Trump discussed Roswell, concluding that his vague, teasing responses indicated a lack of genuine knowledge rather than the possession of secret information. Finally, the document discusses structural barriers to presidential access, specifically the Atomic Energy Act, which places certain nuclear-related technology secrets under the jurisdiction of the Department of Energy, potentially bypassing presidential oversight. The article also recounts the experiences of former President Bill Clinton, who expressed frustration at his own inability to uncover the truth about Roswell, and cites testimony from former Brigadier General Arthur Exon, who claimed that elected officials were excluded from the 'Unholy 13' group that controlled access to Roswell-related information. The document concludes that the intelligence and military establishment maintains a 'government inside the government' that operates independently of presidential control, particularly regarding matters of extreme scientific and strategic importance.
Sarah, there's a government inside the government and I don't control it.
