Alien disclosure is one of the largest novelty contracts on the board, with more than $59M in cumulative cross-platform volume riding on a single yes-or-no question: will a US official confirm that aliens exist before 2027? It trades on both Kalshi and Polymarket, and the bar is specific. A formal statement from the President, the Cabinet, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, or any federal agency is what counts. The market resolves December 31, 2026. The live board above carries the current cross-platform prices.
Alien disclosure has quietly become one of the heaviest novelty markets anywhere in prediction markets, with north of $59M in combined volume across Kalshi and Polymarket. It is a clean binary. There is one question, two outcomes, and a resolution bar that leaves little room for interpretation. The market is part of a small family of dated disclosure contracts that ask the same question on different deadlines, and this is the by-2027 version, the longest-dated of the set.
The contract asks whether the United States government will officially confirm the existence of extraterrestrial life or technology before January 1, 2027. That phrasing matters. This is not a market about whether aliens exist, whether a Navy pilot films an unidentified object, or whether a congressional hearing happens. It is a market about a specific category of statement from a specific set of US officials. Sightings, leaks, whistleblower testimony, and viral footage move headlines, but none of them clear the resolution bar on their own.
That distinction is why the price sits where it does. Government UAP activity has been steady for years. The Pentagon stood up the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, Congress has held public hearings featuring former intelligence officials, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence has published unclassified UAP reports. Every one of those is a real, documented event. None of them is a definitive federal statement that extraterrestrial life or technology exists. The market has watched all of that unfold and stayed firmly priced against a Yes resolution, because the gap between "we cannot explain this object" and "this is extraterrestrial" is the entire contract.
The related Jesus return market odds trades on the same long-shot novelty logic, where the No side is the heavy favorite and the entire question is how thin the Yes tail should be. Both contracts attract volume precisely because the payout asymmetry is dramatic. A small Yes stake controls a large notional if the unthinkable resolves.
The family of disclosure contracts is worth understanding. Alongside this by-2027 deadline, there are shorter-dated siblings keyed to specific months, each asking the same confirmation question against a nearer resolution date. The shorter the window, the lower the Yes price, since there is simply less calendar for a federal announcement to land. This by-2027 version carries the longest runway of the group, which is the structural reason it tends to price the Yes tail slightly higher than its near-month cousins.
The market resolves December 31, 2026, against events through the end of that day. It settles Yes only if the President, any member of the Cabinet, any member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, or any US federal agency definitively states that extraterrestrial life or technology exists before January 1, 2027. Absent that statement, it settles No. The source of truth is the official statement itself, not media interpretation of one, which keeps the bar high and the No side favored for the full life of the contract.
For more long-shot novelty contracts, compare the Jesus return before 2027 odds and the Epstein alive before 2027 market, two other binary questions where the No side is the heavy favorite and the entire trade is how to size the tail.

Resolves December 31, 2026. The market settles Yes if the President, any member of the Cabinet, any member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, or any US federal agency definitively states that extraterrestrial life or technology exists before January 1, 2027. The source of truth is the official statement itself, not media reporting about one. Unexplained sightings, leaked footage, whistleblower testimony, and congressional hearings do not clear the bar unless they include such a definitive federal statement. Absent a qualifying statement by the deadline, the market settles No. Each contract pays $1 per share on the correct outcome and $0 on the other.
