## Key points

- Trump says pilots reported a round object outpacing an F-22 threefold.
- He pledged to investigate claims of a secret UFO programme.
- The reported encounter’s time and location remain unknown.

## Summary

The new coverage adds context to Donald Trump’s account of pilots reporting a round object passing an F-22 at three times its speed: he said he would investigate claims of a secret government UFO programme if one existed. In a CBS interview, he described himself as sceptical but said the pilots were credible.

Trump did not identify the pilots or say when or where the encounter occurred. The remarks came weeks after the Pentagon’s anomaly office released records covering decades of sightings, including a 2026 report of a matte-black triangular object; witnesses estimated its speed, which was not measured by instruments.
