‘The people coming 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 was winding down.

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

“A lot,” Trump offered, though he demurred on the specifics.

“I have to be honest, I have never been a believer … [But] I interviewed jet pilots that 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 among the most frequent questions he received from people, the Republican nominee said.

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

“There’s 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.
