Trump: UFO Files Will Show 'Things You Wouldn't Believe' — Personally Interviewed Pilots

President Trump told reporters that the Pentagon is preparing to release UAP files that will reveal 'things you wouldn't believe,' offering personal context not previously disclosed: 'I've interviewed people in my first term primarily, but I interviewed some pilots, very solid people, and they said they saw things that you wouldn't believe.' Trump confirmed AARO is working with the White House to facilitate 'never-before-seen UAP information,' echoing the War Department's April 18 coordination statement. The disclosure represents Trump's third public presidential statement on UAP in 2026 (February 19 EO signing, April 17 Phoenix rally, May 3 reporters) and the first time he has referenced personal interviews with military pilots as informing his view. Multiple Tier 2 outlets — Newsweek, ABC7 (AP wire), The Hill — carried the story with 17 days remaining until the May 20 EO deadline.
