A British filmmaker has claimed that President Donald Trump is preparing to deliver a major speech on unidentified flying objects (UFOs) that could dramatically alter humanity’s understanding of extraterrestrial life.
Mark Christopher Lee, a UK-based writer, director and ufologist, told the Daily Mail he had been informed by a Trump administration adviser that the President “has been given authority by the other major world leaders to make this announcement".
Mr Lee claimed the address was initially scheduled for the United Nations General Assembly in September but has reportedly been moved forward to July 8 - the 79th anniversary of the Roswell incident.
“New intelligence developments have made it a matter of urgency,” he told the Daily Mail, adding that Mr Trump’s tendency to act unpredictably meant the announcement could come even sooner.
According to Mr Lee, the speech will confirm that forensic analysis of recovered craft and non-human biological material has verified their extraterrestrial origin - a first for any sitting world leader.
The address is expected to reference several high-profile cases that have fuelled speculation for decades, including the 2004 USS Nimitz encounter with a Tic Tac-shaped object, the GoFast and Gimbal incidents recorded by USS Roosevelt personnel in 2015, and the alleged Roswell crash of 1947.
Mr Lee claimed the President would also announce new declassification measures, the creation of an interagency scientific task force, and expanded cooperation with allied nations.
Several of the incidents cited have previously been examined by Congress.

Former Navy fighter pilot David Fravor testified that he encountered a wingless, windowless white object around 40 feet long during a training mission near San Diego in November 2004, saying it mirrored his aircraft before accelerating away at extreme speed.
Another former Navy pilot, Ryan Graves, told lawmakers that the GoFast and Gimbal encounters raised serious flight safety and national security concerns, with crews repeatedly observing objects that appeared stationary in strong winds or travelling at hypersonic speeds.
However, US officials have offered alternative explanations.
Dr Jon Kosloski, head of the Pentagon’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office, told Congress in 2024 that the infrared footage was “a trick of the eye”, attributing it to an optical effect known as parallax.

Retired US Air Force Major David Grusch, now an adviser to Congress’s UAP Task Force, claimed last month that Mr Trump has been briefed on crashed spacecraft, recovered non-human remains and intelligence concerning their origins.
Mr Grusch said the President could become “the most consequential leader in world history” if he were to make such a disclosure.
The whistleblower has claimed he reviewed intelligence files and photographs depicting non-human bodies, and has alleged that Mr Trump was informed during his first term of multiple alien species - including one said to be crossbreeding with humans.
Previous US administrations, the Pentagon and Nasa have repeatedly denied recovering extra-terrestrial technology or having contact with alien life, and no physical evidence supporting such claims has ever been released publicly.

| GETTYMr Trump has previously hinted that he possesses deeper knowledge about UFOs and the possible existence of alien life.
During his first term, he told his son Don Trump Jr in an interview that he had heard “very interesting things” about the Roswell incident, but declined to elaborate.
In the run-up to the 2024 presidential election, Mr Trump appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience, where he confirmed he had spoken with US pilots who claimed to have seen fast-moving “round objects” in the sky.
The claims were echoed in August 2025 by Florida congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, a close Trump ally, who told the same podcast that the US government possesses evidence of “interdimensional beings”.
