President Donald Trump has instructed his administration to release files related to aliens and Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), sparking a surge in prediction market activity. Following Trump's directive, platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi saw increased betting, with odds of confirming alien life more than doubling to over 26%. Trump's announcement comes after former President Obama highlighted the topic, stating aliens were real but denying knowledge of underground bases at Area 51. The move also follows congressional hearings where whistleblowers and military personnel discussed UAP sightings, including claims of recovered "non-human biologics."
