Trump: Launch Investigation Into Mysterious Object That Traveled Three Times Faster Than F-22 Fighter Jet

US President Donald Trump said that Air Force pilots informed him about a mysterious circular object that passed by at a speed equivalent to three times that of an F-22 fighter jet, pledging to launch an investigation.

President Trump stated that Air Force pilots spoke to him about a mysterious circular-shaped object that passed near an F-22 model fighter jet at a speed equal to three times its own, in an incident that raised new questions regarding unidentified flying objects.

Trump's remarks came during an interview with journalist Ross Douthat, broadcast on Sunday as part of the "60 Minutes" program on the CBS network, where the president was asked if he had seen or heard anything that led him to believe there is something beyond unexplained atmospheric phenomena.

Trump said he does not consider himself a strong believer in these narratives, but noted that he spoke with Air Force pilots inside the Oval Office, confirming that they were completely serious about what they conveyed to him.

Trump also pledged to investigate claims suggesting that a secret government program may be involved in studying unidentified flying objects without the president's knowledge, stating that he would pay greater attention to the matter.

Trump added, in his discussion about the pilots, that they are not people who can be described as conspiracy theorists, but rather highly skilled pilots, praising their appearance and professionalism notably during the interview.
