While it is true that US President Donald Trump expressed transparency on the subject of UFOs from a recent public hearing in Nov. 13, 2024, the decision of the President does not have as close of a relation with Danny Sheehan like the Daily Star article makes it seem. This hearing last month was a follow-up to the hearing held in summer 2023 after whistleblower David Grusch claims that there is a secret UFO retrieval program run by the Pentagon. The claim of Danny Sheehan being a part of the UFO information release is misleading as this was not rooted by Sheehan's interests in "Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena," but addressing a hearing from the past.
