As stories and rumors about what the U.S. government knows about UFOs and aliens are once again going viral, Lara Trump revealed during a podcast what she has heard about her father-in-law, Donald Trump's official plans regarding "extraterrestrial life."Lara Trump, the wife of Eric Trump and one-time co-chair of the Republican National Committee, on Wednesday made an appearance on the New York Post's "Pod Force One" podcast, where host Miranda Devine pressed her about what the president has said about aliens and "unidentified aerial phenomenon." She claimed that, as far as her direct interactions, he has largely "played a little coy" about it."What's funny is, we've kind of asked my father-in-law about this, cause we're like, 'well, what do you know?'" Lara Trump said. "And he played a little coy with us. And so, that of course led us to believe, Eric and I were like, 'oh my gosh, if he won't even fully tell us, maybe there's more to it."She added, however, that she has "heard kind of around" that Trump has told certain people that he has an address prepared discussing the topic, which might be given "at the right time.""I think my father-in-law actually said it," she continued. "There is some speech he has that I guess at the right time he’s gonna break out, and it has to do with maybe some sort of extraterrestrial life."Lara Trump's claims in the interview, for now, remain unsubstantiated. Despite mounting public interest, the federal government has only acknowledged "UAPs" as anomalous matters that it is aware of, and which might present a threat to national security, while stressing that it has no evidence that they are examples of extraterrestrial life.Over the weekend, former President Barack Obama made headlines when he said in an interview with liberal content creator Brian Tyler Cohen that aliens are "real," while also stressing that they are not being held in Area 51. He later clarified in a post that this was merely his own personal opinion about the nature of the universe, not something based on knowledge he received as president.Earlier this week, British writer and ufologist Mark Christopher Lee told Newsweek that he had heard a speech prepared for Trump regarding alien life, something that echoed Lara Trump's claim from Wednesday. He identified his source only as a "Washington insider," whose name he could not reveal."A Washington insider I have known personally and conducted business with – has repeatedly affirmed that President Trump has prepared a historic speech acknowledging extraterrestrial visitation and the existence of recovered non-human materials and craft," Lee wrote in an email to the outlet.Trump has privately discussed rumors that he has a speech prepared on UFOs — Lara Trump“I think my father-in-law actually said it.
