Let's Take Note · 15 October 2026 · 1 min · Watch the original
The UFO exchange from Rob Finnerty's White House interview with President Trump on Newsmax, aired 15 October 2026. Trump relays an Air Force pilot's account of a round object four times faster than an F-22. He doesn't name the pilots, give dates or answer the question about recovered technology. Newsmax's own posted clips of the interview don't include this exchange, so the archive links a 73-second excerpt posted by the "Let's Take Note" channel; its description credits the Newsmax interview. Transcribed locally with Whisper.
Key moments
- 0:05 Donald Trump: Rob Finnerty asks whether aliens are real, whether we have been visited and whether the U.S. is reverse-engineering their technology. Trump: "I wasn't much of a believer", though he has friends who talk about nothing else.
- 0:14 Donald Trump: He says he has interviewed five or six Air Force pilots, "solid people", not conspiracy theorists, who saw things while flying they had never seen before.
- 0:30 Donald Trump: One 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 it could have been a comet, the pilot said "it wasn't, sir".
- 0:45 Donald Trump: Will he be the president who discloses? "I'm looking… I'm not high on the list of that particular subject."
- 0:50 Donald Trump: On the base in Nevada: "all it is is a little fence, a little rusting fence", which he calls "the craziest thing I've ever seen".
- 1:02 Donald Trump: "We are releasing documents, we are releasing everything."
