The account
Haim Eshed, who directed Israel's defence space programme for nearly 30 years, said aliens had agreements with the US government, that a joint underground base existed on Mars, and that President Trump had been about to reveal this before the aliens stopped him. The interview went viral worldwide.
The sceptical view
Isaac Ben-Israel, then chair of the Israel Space Agency, said Eshed had gone 'too far'; Nick Pope suggested it might be a stunt to sell his book or a mistranslation, and NASA said it had found no signs of alien life.
