Stephen Miller

Stephen Miller, White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor, has emerged as the senior administration official tasked with advancing UAP transparency under President Trump in 2026. His role centers on coordinating declassified file releases and facilitating whistleblower protections. There is no public evidence of prior personal interest in the topic before this assignment.

Miller has publicly announced new tranches of UFO and UAP records via the PURSUE initiative. On June 12, 2026, he posted on X stating a new tranche of UFO files and videos had dropped, linking to the official portal.

Miller’s office is actively engaged with Congress on immunity measures for whistleblowers. At a Capitol Hill UAP event on June 25, 2026, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna stated that they had talked directly to the White House and described Miller as absolutely incredible on this topic. She noted they were providing a list of individuals for immunity protections so whistleblowers could share information on locations of craft and biologics without fear of losing clearances or facing repercussions under the Espionage Act or similar laws. Lawmakers such as Rep. Eric Burlison have described Miller’s approach as that of a pitbull who demands conclusive answers from agencies rather than incomplete reports.

Earlier in the administration, around January 20–21, 2025, President Trump publicly directed his Chief of Staff Susie Wiles to investigate mysterious drone sightings with possible UAP connections. In an unscripted exchange, Trump expressed curiosity about the unexplained aerial activity and tasked Wiles with uncovering the truth and informing the public. This moment highlighted initial high-level interest in such phenomena and preceded the more detailed policy work assigned to Miller. However, no public report, findings, or follow-up from Wiles on that directive ever materialized.

As speculation builds around potential milestones such as July 8, 2026—the anniversary of the 1947 Roswell incident—some researchers and enthusiasts are watching for possible further disclosures or a major statement from the administration.

Many in the UAP community hope that Miller’s efforts result in more substantive and transparent outcomes than the earlier drone investigation assigned to Wiles. Current efforts emphasize protected internal channels for high-value whistleblower information, particularly on physical evidence locations. Developments are ongoing, with potential for further file releases and legislative follow-up in the coming months.
