What’s behind the White House’s ‘Alien.gov’ website?

Article excerpt

The White House launched Alien.gov, a website addressing government transparency around unidentified phenomena. The domain represents an unusual pivot in how the federal government communicates about the topic once relegated to fringe conspiracy theories. Officials framed the site as part of broader efforts to collect data and reduce stigma around reporting sightings. The move signals shifting attitudes toward what the government previously dismissed, though critics question whether the initiative delivers substantive policy changes or amounts to public relations.
