Trump says Air Force pilots reported mysterious object flying at three times the speed of an F-22 and vows to launch investigation
US President Donald Trump told CBS that Air Force pilots had informed him of a mysterious circular object that flew past an F-22 fighter jet at three times its speed, in an incident that has raised questions about unidentified flying objects (UFOs).
Asked whether he had seen or heard anything that led him to believe there was something beyond unexplained aerial phenomena, Trump said he considered himself a strong believer in such accounts. He noted, however, that he had spoken with Air Force pilots in the Oval Office and stressed that they were entirely serious about what they had told him.
Trump also pledged to investigate claims that a secret government program may be studying unidentified flying objects without the president's knowledge, saying he would give the matter greater attention.
Speaking about the pilots, Trump said they were not people who could be dismissed as conspiracy theorists, describing them instead as highly skilled pilots. He also made notably complimentary remarks about their appearance and professionalism during the interview.
