President Donald Trump said during a televised interview that Air Force pilots had told him about a round unidentified object passing an F-22 at what they described as three times its speed. Trump said he remains skeptical about UFO claims but considers the pilots credible. The account was not accompanied by publicly released instrument readings or independently verified flight data, so the object's identity and actual speed remain unconfirmed.
