Former United States President Donald Trump has promised that he will release fresh footage of UFOs and more documents on Jeffrey Epstein if he gets elected as the country’s president for the second time.
The remarks were made by Trump in a new hour-long sensational interview with American podcaster Lex Fridman during which he spoke on various issues.
He briefly discussed the fascination of the US with UFOs – unidentified flying objects.
Bringing up the topic of UFOs, Fridman in the interview said, “A lot of people are very interested in the footage of UFOs. The Pentagon has released a few videos and there’s been anecdotal reports from fighter pilots. So a lot of people wanna know, will you help push the Pentagon to release more footage, which a lot of people claim is available.”
In a quick response, Trump agreed to release more footage of the UFOs. “Oh yeah, sure, I’ll do that. I would do that. I’d love to do that. I have to do that,” he said.

This is not the first time Trump has spoken about UFOs. He had mentioned them in another podcast with former YouTuber Logan Paul where he said that there “could be” life on other planets, although he wasn’t “a believer”.
When asked if he believed that unidentified anomalous phenomena UAPs or UFOs can make it possible for aliens to reach Earth, Trump said, “Am I a believer? No, I probably I can’t say I am. But I have met with people that are serious people that say there’s some really strange things that they see flying around out there.”
Trump says facing pressure release files related to John F Kennedy
Trump said that he has been facing a lot of pressure to release the files related to former President John F Kennedy’s assassination in 1963.
“They also are pushing me on Kennedy. And I did release a lot, but I had people come to me and beg me not to do it. But I’ll be doing that very early on. But I would do that,” Trump said.

He said that he also wishes to release more documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
“I don’t think I had… I mean, I’m not involved. I never went to his island, fortunately. But a lot of people did,” said Trump.
“Now, Kennedy’s interesting ’cause it’s so many years ago. You know, they do that for danger too, because you know, endangers certain people, et cetera, et cetera. So Kennedy is very different from the Epstein thing. But yeah, I’d be inclined to do the Epstein. I’d have no problem with it,” he added.
