Speculation Grows Over U.S. Confirmation of Alien Life by 2027

A newly created account, celestat3123, has invested $20,000 in the prediction market regarding whether the U.S. Congress will confirm the existence of aliens by 2027, purchasing shares at an average price of 16.2 cents, totaling 124,653.2 shares. According to Odaily, the total trading volume for this prediction event has exceeded $20.49 million, with the probability of a 'Yes' outcome currently at 17% and 'No' at 83%. In February, U.S. President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social, directing the Department of Defense and other agencies to identify and release government documents related to "alien and extraterrestrial life, UAP, UFO." Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth responded that the team is working on it but did not provide a specific timeline. Additionally, in March, the White House registered the domains aliens.gov and alien.gov, which are set to expire in 2027 and currently remain blank. This has sparked speculation and media attention, though the White House has not clarified their purpose. The domains may serve as digital infrastructure for potential information release or routine domain management. The settlement rules for this event state that if the U.S. President, any cabinet member, any member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, or any U.S. federal agency explicitly declares the existence of alien life or technology by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on December 31, 2026, the market will resolve as 'Yes.' Otherwise, it will resolve as 'No.'
