US President Donald Trump shares UFO revelations from pilots

  • In a CBS News interview broadcast on November 8, 2026, President Donald Trump told host Ross Douthat he had not heard of any government program investigating UFOs that operates without presidential oversight.
  • The Defense Department released documents last month detailing encounters with unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAP, including a 'substantial, nonreflective, dark black triangular object' with a wingspan of between nine and 15 feet.
  • Trump described himself as 'not too much of a believer,' though Air Force pilots he met in the Oval Office reported 'things that are very strange' near F-22 jets, which he called 'solid people.'
  • Following his conversation with Douthat, Trump promised to investigate whistleblower claims about potentially covert programs, though he offered no evidence that such operations exist or restrict presidential access.
  • Public interest in UFOs remains high, but officials note that secrecy surrounding military projects in Nevada does not substantiate claims of extraterrestrial technology or covert recovery operations.
