Trump Talks UFOs on 60 Minutes: Air Force Pilots Told Him 'Very Strange' Things
WASHINGTON — In his 60 Minutes interview aired on November 8, President Trump discussed unidentified flying objects, saying Air Force pilots had told him 'very strange' things in the Oval Office, though he is 'not too much of a believer' and has seen no evidence of a secret program.
Interviewer Ross Douthat raised the Pentagon's seventh batch of declassified UFO files, released on October 23. 'I'm not too much of a believer, but I sat in the Oval Office, first term and a little bit second term, meeting with Air Force pilots that are really good, solid people,' Trump said, calling the pilots 'the real deal' who 'told me things that are very strange.'
His example: pilots flying an F-22 said something round, not aerodynamic, went by them at three times their speed. Trump said it could possibly be a comet and that it remains a mystery. He added that UFOs are among the questions he is most often asked about in private.
Asked whether a secret UFO research program exists beyond presidential knowledge, Trump said: 'No. And I haven't heard that. But if there is, I'm gonna find out about it right after this interview.'
