President Donald Trump allegedly made a joke about Sen. Adam Schiff after being briefed about claims involving alien-human “hybrids,” according to Rep. Eric Burlison of Missouri.
Burlison discussed the story during an appearance on the “American Alchemy” podcast. He claimed that Trump had been told in a briefing that alleged hybrids could be living among humans. According to Burlison, Trump’s reported response was, “You mean like Adam Schiff?”
Burlison said he heard the story from people who were familiar with the alleged briefing, but he also made clear that he could not personally confirm whether the story was true. He said the joke sounded believable because of Trump’s long-running public feud with Schiff.
Schiff, a California Democrat, became one of Trump’s most visible political opponents during Trump’s first impeachment. He also served on the House committee that investigated the January 6 Capitol riot. Over the years, Trump has repeatedly mocked Schiff with insulting nicknames and public criticism.
The alien-hybrid claim comes as UFO and UAP discussions continue to attract political attention in Washington. In recent years, whistleblowers, lawmakers, and researchers have pushed for more transparency around unidentified anomalous phenomena, government records, and alleged secret programs.
One of the most prominent figures in the debate is David Grusch, a former U.S. intelligence official and Air Force veteran. Grusch has previously claimed that the U.S. government has knowledge of recovered craft and non-human biological material. His claims have been disputed and have not been officially confirmed by the U.S. government.
Burlison also discussed claims about so-called “Nordic” aliens, a term sometimes used in UFO circles to describe alleged humanoid beings with Scandinavian-like features. These claims remain part of the broader UFO disclosure debate and have not been verified by official public evidence.
The story quickly gained attention because it combines two topics that often go viral online: Trump’s political insults and the growing public fascination with UFO claims. However, the most important detail is that Burlison presented the story as secondhand information, not as something he personally witnessed.
There is currently no public confirmation that Trump was officially briefed about alien-human hybrids. The Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office has previously said it has found no evidence that the U.S. government possesses extraterrestrial technology.
For now, the reported Trump joke remains an unverified political anecdote tied to the larger debate over UFO secrecy, government transparency, and the public’s ongoing interest in extraterrestrial life.
