He made a big mistake: Trump says Obama revealed classified info on aliens
India Today
Former US President Barack Obama said in a recent interview that aliens are real. Donald Trump claimed he took it out from classified information.
US President Donald Trump has accused his predecessor Barack Obama of disclosing classified information by suggesting that alien life could exist, reigniting debate over unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs).
Trump suggested that Obama's remarks, if based on intelligence briefings provided to a sitting president, could amount to revealing sensitive national security information. However, he did not cite any specific classified material or evidence to support the allegation.
"He took it out of classified information... He’s not supposed to be doing that... He made a big mistake," Trump told reporters.
Obama, during a recent interview with podcast host Brian Tyler Cohen, when asked if aliens are real, said: "They're real, but I haven't seen them, and they're not being kept in ... Area 51. There's no underground facility unless there's this enormous conspiracy and they hid it from the President of the United States".
Area 51, a classified US Air Force facility in Nevada, has long been the subject of conspiracy theories claiming it houses alien bodies and crashed spacecraft. However, CIA documents declassified in 2013 confirmed that the site was primarily used to test top-secret spy aircraft.
After his remarks sparked widespread discussion, Obama later clarified that they were made in the “spirit of the speed round” portion of the interview. He added that, statistically, life could exist elsewhere in the universe, but said he saw “no evidence” of extraterrestrial contact during his presidency.
