Obama Confirms Existence Of Aliens, But Says They Aren't Where People Think

Former President Barack Obama admitted that there are aliens.

Brian Tyler Cohen, a liberal influencer, asked the former president if aliens were real during a lightning round portion of his interview with Obama on Cohen’s YouTube channel.

“They’re real, but I haven’t seen them,” Obama answered in the interview published Saturday. “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.”

“Where are the aliens,” Obama said, laughing.

Conspiracy theorists have believed since the ’80s that Area 51, the Air Force facility in Nevada, has been where the government has kept aliens. Then in 2019, millions of people online jokingly agreed to storm Area 51 to “see them aliens.”

In 2021, Obama played with the idea that aliens are real, saying on a podcast with The New York Times that his politics wouldn’t change if humans knew aliens were real “because my entire politics is premised on the fact that we are these tiny organisms on this little speck floating out in space.”

“It’s important to recognize that the majority of the American people find this behavior deeply troubling,” Obama said.

He continued: “It’s true that it’s a distraction. But, you know, as I’m traveling around the country, as you’re traveling around the country, you meet people — they still believe in decency, courtesy, kindness, and there’s this sort of clown show that’s happening in social media and on television.

“And what is true is that there doesn’t seem to be any shame about this among people who used to feel like you had to have some sort of decorum and a sense of propriety and respect for the office, right? So that’s been lost.”

Obama also spoke about the differences in the Democratic party, saying they are “exaggerated” and “magnified in the media,” adding that all Democrats believe in the same core issues, like equality and regulation of the market.
