With three words, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer challenged President Donald Trump to open a potential Pandora’s Box of scientific news: “Now do UFOs,” the leading Democrat posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, referring to unidentified flying objects.
While it remains to be seen whether Schumer’s suggestion was serious or merely an attempt to embarrass a Republican president, experts agree that he raised a provocative question. Since Trump has already ordered the declassification of documents pertaining to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., he could, in theory, spill the government’s secrets about UFOs, formerly called UAPs (unidentified aerial phenomena).
