Donald Trump has come tantalizingly close to revealing what he was told about UFOs, with the president, as he revealed, fighter pilots telling him “they saw things that were very strange.”
Trump, who served as the 45th president of the United States between 2017 and 2021 and is seeking re-election, also refused to rule out that there could be life on Mars or other planets “that we don’t know about.”
The 78-year-old politician shared his thoughts on aliens with podcaster Joe Rogan, in a compelling interview that also touched on the unopened assassination files of JFK and Martin Luther King, as well as his own recent confrontation with a potential assassin.
Speaking of “the people coming from space,” as he looked up and pointed, Trump said it wasn’t something of particular interest to him, but he remained intrigued after speaking to pilots who claimed to have witnessed UFOs over America.
He said on Friday night’s podcast: ‘I’ve interviewed a few people, it’s never been my thing, I have to be honest. I’ve never been a believer.

The 78-year-old politician shared his thoughts on aliens with podcaster Joe Rogan in a fascinating interview that aired Friday evening.
When Rogan told Trump that scientists had not yet found any evidence of life on Mars or any other planet in the solar system, Trump said he believes this could still be the case. “Maybe it’s a life we don’t know,” he replied
“So I interviewed fighter pilots who said they saw something. If you have seen them you would like to have them [on your show]…those were solid people, perfect, great pilots, everything.
“And they said, ‘We saw things sir that were very strange, like a round ball that wasn’t a comet or a meteor, it was something and it was going four times faster than an F22, which is a very fast plane.’
‘And it was round, which in theory is a nice shape [for flying].’
Rogan, 57, then asked Trump whether he spoke to the pilots because he felt “compelled” to do so because of a “personal interest” in the issue.
Trump admitted: “A little bit, it’s not a huge interest for me, but it’s still an interest.”
He then added that the question is being asked to him ‘as much as almost every question’ is whether aliens are visiting Earth.
‘What do you think?’ Rogan pressed.
‘There is reason not to think about Mars and all these planets [don’t] have a life,” he replied.
When Rogan said scientists had not yet found any evidence of life on Mars or any other planet in the solar system, Trump revealed he believes this could still be the case.
“Maybe it’s a life we don’t know,” he replied.
Trump added that while the sighted UFOs could be drones or Chinese spy balloons, he was swayed by the eyewitness accounts of the fighter pilots he spoke to.
He added: [They are] solid, beautiful people. [They said] This is something sir, this is something. They are not conspiracy people.’

The ‘Tic-Tac’ UFOs disappeared from view about 60 miles north of Guadalupe Island off the coast of Mexico, according to witnesses who spoke to DailyMail.com.
The pair went on to discuss an infamous one 2004 UFO incident in which top Navy pilots spotted ‘Tic-Tacs’ flying at incredible speeds off the coast of California, which were also picked up by sonar moving quickly underwater.
On November 14, 2004, Top Gun fighter pilot David Fravor was conducting a training exercise near San Diego when he was diverted to investigate a foreign object spotted on radar by warships protecting his aircraft carrier, the USS Nimitz.
What he found was an approximately 40-foot-tall white object with no windows or wings, shaped like a Tic-Tac, fluttering above the sea swirling below, disturbed by something large beneath the surface.
Commander Fravor told Congress in 2023 that as he orbited the object, it turned to mirror his movements, then sped past him at thousands of miles per hour, somehow stopping a second later at a secret, pre-designated meeting point, 60 miles away, which was only 60 miles away. he and a handful of Navy personnel on his ship were given prior to their training exercise.
Fellow F-18 pilot Lt. Chad Underwood then flew out and captured the object on video. published by the New York Times in 2017which created a firestorm of intrigue over the government’s knowledge of UFOs.
Kevin Day, who was the Senior Chief Operations Specialist aboard the USS Princeton at the time and was responsible for monitoring the skies with radar to protect the Nimitz, said he saw similar objects on his radar in the 10 days leading up to the incident who behaved inexplicably.
Day said groups of about 10 objects were repeatedly detected 25,000 feet above them, where Earth’s atmosphere becomes space and drops to 20,000 feet in less than a second, following the ships by moving at a relatively leisurely speed through the air flying at a relatively leisurely speed of 185 km/h before zooming in. towards Guadalupe Island off the coast of Mexico, where they seemed to disappear under the sea.

Warships guarding the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz, as well as a submarine in the area, spotted a strange object on radar in the Pacific Ocean in November 2004.
Sean Cahill was a Chief Master-At-Arms on the Princeton and from the deck he said he saw lights in the sky that matched the movements of the objects Day saw on his radar
‘They come from orbit beneath the Earth. They came in groups of five to ten at a time. If you added all the groups together, it was about 100 contacts,” Day said.
‘The very first group had 10 objects. They were about 80,000 feet off the east coast of Catalina Island. They just sat there for a while.
“Then they would drop immediately as a group, to between 20,000 and 28,000 feet off the coast of Catalina Island, about 10 miles east of it.
‘The strange thing was that a single object left the group and flew very slowly over us, between 20 and 28,000 feet at a speed of about 100 knots, which was very slow.
“It would just keep following above us, and then the next one would leave, and the next one,” he added. ‘All groups did that.
“As far as I know, all a hundred of them disappeared into the sky from the same spot. And that spot was about 60 miles north of an island off the coast of Mexico called Guadalupe Island.

‘Everyone looked at me like: what is this? And I didn’t have any good answers.’
Sean Cahill, Chief Master-At-Arms at Princeton, said he saw lights in the sky that matched the movements of the objects Day saw on his radar.
Rogan said he invited Fravor on his show to speak about his experiences, mentioning that he described seeing “this thing go from below sea level to 50,000 feet in a second.”
“That’s something to beat,” Trump smiled.
Rogan continued, “They don’t know what it is, they saw something that caused a disturbance in the water, they have video evidence of this thing, two different fighter jets with pilots saw it, there’s visual evidence, photographic evidence, video, radar .
“Whatever it is, it would turn a person into jello if you were in it.”
Trump nodded as Rogan spoke but did not elaborate further on the episode.
Speaking about the capabilities of American fighter jets, he said: “When you fly these fighter jets, the pilots have to be in top form.
“If you fly some of these things it’s great, you have to be special [to be a pilot].’
