'The people who come from space'

Former President Trump offered some new insights about extraterrestrial life during his interview with podcaster Joe Rogan.

“There is a lot of interest in the people coming from space“You know,” Trump offered as the nearly three-hour Friday chat came to an end.

“How much did they tell you about that?” Rogan asked.

“A lot,” Trump said, though he was hesitant about the details.

“I have to be honest, I’ve never been a believer… (but) I’ve interviewed jet pilots who were solid people, perfect. I mean, great pilots, great everything. And they said we saw things, sir, that were very strange, like a round ball. But it wasn’t a comet or a meteor, it was something, and it was going four times faster than an F-22, which is a very fast plane,” Trump said.

The topic of aliens was one of the most common questions he received from people, the Republican candidate said.

When Rogan asked what Trump believed, the former president was circumspect.

“There is no reason not to (believe). I mean, there’s no reason not to think that Mars and all these planets don’t have life,” he said.
