Donald Trump Discusses Air Force UFO Sightings and Transparency Efforts
Former US President Donald Trump discussed UFO sightings in a CBS '60 Minutes' interview, revealing that Air Force pilots reported seeing a mysterious, fast-moving object surpassing the speed of an F-22 fighter jet. Trump described the pilots as credible and the phenomena as unusual but said he was not a firm believer in UFOs. Earlier this year, he directed his administration to increase transparency on unidentified aerial phenomena, leading to Pentagon releases of related files and videos for public review.
