‘No evidence’ of human contact with aliens: Obama clarifies podcast remarks
Al Jazeera
Obama walked back comments made on a podcast in which he appeared to claim that aliens are real.
Former United States President Barack Obama has clarified remarks related to the existence of extraterrestrial life made on a podcast, after appearing to claim that he knew aliens are real.
During a rapid-fire question-and-answer segment as a guest on left-wing political commentator Brian Tyler Cohen’s programme, which was released on Saturday, the podcaster asked Obama whether he believes extraterrestrials are real.
“They’re real, but I haven’t seen them,” the 44th president of the US responded.
“They’re not being kept at Area 51. There’s no underground facility unless there’s this enormous conspiracy and they hid it from the president of the United States,” he continued.
Obama’s apparent admission of the existence of aliens was picked up by media outlets globally, and it added fodder to the long-running conspiracy theory claiming that the US government is hiding them at Area 51, a highly classified air force site in Nevada.
