In February, U.S. President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social, directing the Department of Defense and other agencies to identify and release government documents related to "alien and extraterrestrial life, UAP, UFO." Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth responded that the team is working on it but did not provide a specific timeline.
Additionally, in March, the White House registered the domains aliens.gov and alien.gov, which are set to expire in 2027 and currently remain blank. This has sparked speculation and media attention, though the White House has not clarified their purpose. The domains may serve as digital infrastructure for potential information release or routine domain management.
The settlement rules for this event state that if the U.S. President, any cabinet member, any member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, or any U.S. federal agency explicitly declares the existence of alien life or technology by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on December 31, 2026, the market will resolve as 'Yes.' Otherwise, it will resolve as 'No.'
