The White House's new site about 'aliens' has nothing to do with UFOs [View all]

(NPR) "THEY WALK AMONG US," declares a new White House web page in large, luminous green letters against a dark starry background. Above the title is the word "DECLASSIFIED."

The website, aliens.gov, continues to talk about the threat of "aliens" with the opening credits of "The X-Files" playing in the background, spitting out one letter at a time: "they do not belong here...Countless presidents, congressmen, and senior officials knew exactly what was happening. Instead of protecting American citizens, they chose to cover it up."

But the site isn't about extraterrestrials or alien encounters, even though President Trump had released more government files about possible extraterrestrial encounters days before. "These 'Aliens' are the millions of ILLEGALS...Deport them all," it says. "THEY WEREN'T LITTLE GREEN MEN."
