Worth reposting this comment in a new… uh… Reddit thread or whatever these are called:
“I can’t find anything on Lou Dobbs personal views on UFO’s (or… whatever) yet. He seems to keeps a lid on that. What I did notice is the media conflating Trump’s interview with Dobbs alongside the Pentagon commission. There’s zero connection between Trump on Dobbs & the Pentagon commission, though; the commission was started at the request of the Senate Intelligence Committee by Marco Rubio, I believe.”

‘Lou Dobbs Journeys From Wall Street To Space’
“…
Dobbs told the media that his supervisors complained about the amount of his investment in Space.com, a New York-based Internet startup devoted to coverage of space and science news. Dobbs did what any entrepreneur would do. He quit, and became chief executive of the company in which he reportedly held a one-third interest.”
There’s a clue further down:
“Count Thomas H. Jarrett, an astronomer at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology, as one of Space.com’s fans. “The articles are somewhat technical in comparison to a CNN article,” says Jarrett. Another plus: Space.com’s “earthbound” coverage of aerospace companies such as Boeing ba and Lockheed Martin lmt .”

“a co-investor in [space dot com] was Venrock Associates, the venture-capital firm affiliated with the Rockefeller family.”
Don’t know Venrock.
‘Space: The Next Business Frontier’ with HP Newquist, Pocket Books, (2001).
“Investors are anxiously considering what sector will provide the next leap forward. Lou Dobbs, the best-known personality in American broadcast financial journalism, founder of CNNfn, CNNfn.com, and CNN’s Lou Dobbs Moneyline, believes that question can be answered in five letters: SPACE. In “Space: The Next Business Frontier,” Dobbs and co-author HP Newquist explore where the money has gone, is going, and will go in space development by the private sector. Here they examine which new technologies have the edge, which corporations are players in the space game and which are destined to be, what start-up companies have to do to become players, and how to judge for yourself which ones will have the best chances for success.
“Space: The Next Business Frontier” is a crucial examination of an industry with unlimited opportunity.”

You can’t say for sure, but based on the context clues, it appears that Lou Dobbs may have a terrestrial explanation for “U.F.O.’s”.

‘Venrock’s Ethan Batraski on the Promise of the Space Industry’
“Ethan focuses on space investment as well as developer infrastructure and advanced computing. He also serves on the board of companies including Astranis, which creates internet satellites.
…
We are moving away from large, expensive satellites to much smaller microsatellites that are cheaper to build, launch into lower orbits and enable new use cases. That demand has driven a new class of launch companies, meaning access to dedicated launch becomes much more available, responsive and reliable.
…
The second [benefit of more satellites in space] is to create a deep space network. The only way for us to be a multi-planet species is to build infrastructure in space. That must include communications networks beyond the moon and fueling stations to power space tugs, which will carry things from low earth orbit to Mars and beyond.
Lastly, there’s opportunity for manufacturing. For example, we can develop more efficient protein crystals for pharmaceuticals in space.”
