But eight days after making that statement, a former high-ranking officer in the US Air Force, Major General William McCasland, has disappeared.
His disappearance has fueled conspiracy theories online due to McCaslin's previous work researching UFOs for the government, suggesting the two are somehow connected.
Even members of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee have called the disappearance really disturbing, citing the fact that he has a lot of information on UFOs.
But McCaslin's wife doesn't share that same point of view.
She told reporters from Newsweek that she doubted her husband's disappearance had anything to do with what she called his brief association with the UFO community.
And that's all for this week.

I'm your host, Carter Roy.
One of those green ones, one of the blue ones you see at parties around the Fourth of July.
Have you seen these things like this your whole life?
Glow in the dark, stars on your ceiling, exit signs in every building, totally harmless.
Pretty, right?
There's something almost magical about it.
The stuff that makes this glow today is called strontium aluminate.
Totally safe.
