(Photo: Bloomberg)NEW YORK — President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he had directed his administration to begin releasing files related to aliens, extraterrestrial life and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), only hours after attacking former President Barack Obama for saying that aliens were real. The release of the Epstein files has dragged on for nearly a year, and Trump did not set a timeline for files on aliens. Closed gates at the entrance to Area 51 as an influx of tourists responding to a call to 'storm' Area 51, a secretive US military base believed by UFO enthusiasts to hold government secrets about extra-terrestrials, is expected in Rachel, Nevada, the United States, on Sept 19, 2019. Brian Tyler Cohen, a YouTuber and podcast host, asked Obama in an interview that released Saturday if aliens were real.
