Summary
The market asks whether the US government will officially confirm extraterrestrial existence before 2027, with current odds heavily favoring 'No' at 91%. Resolution requires a definitive statement from top US officials or agencies by end of 2026, based on official government information or credible reporting consensus.
How it resolves

⚖️ A proposed outcome can be disputed during a challenge window before it's final.
Resolution criteria
This market will resolve to "Yes" if the President of the United States, any member of the Cabinet of the United States, any member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, or any US federal agency definitively states that extraterrestrial life or technology exists by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the government of the United States, however a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.
