After two terms of keeping the nation’s secrets, Barack Obama has broken his silence on Area 51 and the enduring mystery of extraterrestrial life.
Speaking during the No Lie podcast with Brian Tyler Cohen, President Obama said that Aliens are real, although he has not seen them.
“They’re real, but I haven’t seen them, and they’re not being kept in – what is it?” Obama said.

He added, “There’s no underground facility, unless there’s this enormous conspiracy and they hid it from the president of the United States.”
He clarified that he has not seen evidence of actual alien specimens or secret spaceships. He famously joked that when he took office, he asked whether there was a secret lab with alien bodies, and the answer was “No.”
Reports indicate that the idea that a facility housing the remnants of aliens and Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) exists under the highly classified Area 51 military base in southern Nevada has long obsessed conspiracy theorists.
The storage, analysis, and reverse engineering of crashed alien spacecraft, including materials purportedly recovered at Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947, are among the theories regarding the covert operations taking place at the facility.

Americans have for the longest years been saying that the government is hiding extraterrestrial life at Area 51. Still, most presidents have since noted that if such a massive conspiracy existed, they managed to hide it even from them.
