Facts and claims
- claimed In a White House interview with Newsmax's Rob Finnerty (15 October 2026), he said he had spoken with five or six Air Force pilots, "solid people", one of whom saw "a round object which is not an ideal shape for going fast that went faster by four times than an F-22". Asked whether he would be the president to disclose the truth, he said "I'm looking", adding "I'm not high on the list of that particular subject", and "we are releasing documents, we are releasing everything". — Donald Trump Source: Trump on UFOs and Air Force pilots (Newsmax, Finnerty, 15 October 2026) at 0:14
