TV personality Dr. Phil says the White House gave him access to government UFO/UAP files before their public release to help evaluate how Americans might react to the information. In an interview with NewsNation, he said officials wanted his perspective on the potential psychological, spiritual, and societal impact of revealing information that could challenge humanity’s place in the universe.
Dr. Phil said the files convinced him there has been a government cover-up surrounding UFO information, claiming that some officials have withheld knowledge even from elected leaders.He criticized that secrecy, saying the public deserves more transparency.
He also argued that any future UFO disclosures should come with proper context and support, warning that revelations about non-human intelligence could create confusion, fear, or exploitation.
Many UFO researchers say the government has continued a pattern of offering limited disclosures without delivering the full transparency many advocates have been seeking.
