Since then, however, very little has actually happened with regard to these files.

A few politicians, such as Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, have hinted that the release will still be going ahead and we even learned that the US government had registered two new domain names - alien.gov and aliens.gov.

But the question still stands - where are these files ?Now, Trump himself has weighed in on the matter by stating that the release is still in the works and that there will be some "very interesting documents" coming "very, very soon".

"As you remember, I recently directed the Secretary of War... to begin releasing government files relating to UFOs and unexplained aerial phenomenon," he said on Friday.

"This process is well underway, and we found many very interesting documents, I must say, and the first releases will begin very, very soon."

So does this mean that the release of these files is imminent ?

As always, we'll just have to wait and see.
