# White House Leaves UFO Shootdown Claims Unanswered

### White House Response Remains Pending

The White House has not publicly responded to allegations that President Donald Trump authorized U.S. military personnel to engage with or shoot down unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), according to a report published by *Liberation Times* on September 26. The publication said it submitted questions directly to the White House after journalist Ross Coulthart claimed that the Department of War had been authorized to confront unidentified objects and had downed objects in the United States and Juárez, Mexico, across the border from El Paso.

*Liberation Times* asked whether Trump, acting as commander in chief, had issued any order, directive or authorization allowing military personnel to shoot down UAP, UFOs, unidentified “orbs” or other airborne objects. It also asked whether the government had conducted an operation intended to lure UAP. The White House press office requested a response deadline on September 22, and the outlet set 5 p.m. Eastern time on September 25. Despite follow-up emails, the report said **no answer had been provided by the time of publication**.

### Allegations and Missing Evidence

The claims remain unsubstantiated in the material available. *Liberation Times* did not publish documentation confirming that objects had been destroyed, nor did it identify an official who would verify Coulthart’s account. When the publication presented the allegation to the Department of War, an official referred questions about presidential orders, directives or authorizations to the White House.

The unanswered questions come amid broader criticism of the administration’s UAP transparency efforts. Imagery released through the government’s PURSUE initiative has been described as too ambiguous to resolve key questions, while other documents have reportedly been previously available. The release of potentially significant footage has also been delayed by disputes over whether records exist. Two videos allegedly showing a **100-foot triangular object over a Colorado military installation** were said to be held by the Air Force Office of Special Investigations, with file numbers provided to the *New York Post*. However, Department of War Deputy Press Secretary Joel Valdez wrote on X that, after a records review, the department “did not find any footage pertaining to the alleged sighting in question.”

### Wider Transparency Concerns

The report also cited an unresolved allegation involving an operation to lure UAP at a sensitive U.S. testing facility. According to *Liberation Times*, the Department of War has not provided a substantive response to questions about that operation since July. The lack of clarification has contributed to a growing gap between public claims, official statements and verifiable evidence.

A separate concern involves the UAP Science Advisory Council established with the involvement of Harvard professor Avi Loeb. The council was reportedly created to advise the government on UAP research and analyze unclassified evidence, but *POLITICO* reported that it had received little meaningful data from federal agencies. Loeb may reconsider the council’s role if the situation does not improve by the end of 2026.

### Intelligence Data and Accountability

Sources cited by the reports identified the CIA as particularly resistant to releasing UAP-related information. An intelligence community source told *Liberation Times* that the agency would continue protecting its sources, collection methods and analytical tools—capabilities that support intelligence missions well beyond UAP analysis. Such restrictions could limit the disclosure of data gathered by space-based, maritime or other sensitive systems.

For now, **the White House’s silence does not confirm the shootdown allegations**, but it leaves central questions unanswered. Until officials provide documentation, operational details or a formal denial, the claims remain allegations rather than established facts—underscoring the importance of distinguishing between reported testimony, government records and independently verifiable evidence.
