Former US President Barack Obama made a statement that attracted worldwide attention by saying that aliens are "real." In a podcast interview with YouTuber Brian Tyler Cowen, Obama stated that he believes in the existence of aliens, but he has never seen them. Obama's remarks reignited speculation, especially regarding places at the center of conspiracy theories like Area 51.
HE DID NOT PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT WHERE THEY ARE
In the interview, Obama did not provide any information about where the aliens are, despite saying that they are real. He also rejected popular conspiracy theories that aliens are hiding in Area 51, stating that for such claims to be true, there would have to be such a large secret plan that even the president of the country should not be aware of it.
AREA 51
Area 51 is known as a high-security military base located in the Nevada desert of the US, which has been associated with aliens for years. Although the government officially acknowledged the existence of the area in 2013, it has not been officially stated that there is any evidence related to aliens found there.
OBAMA'S INTERVIEW CREATED A SENSATION
As public interest in aliens has increased in recent years, the US military's videos and documents related to unidentified aerial phenomena have also fueled these discussions. Obama's interview brought speculation about the existence of aliens back to the forefront; however, the former president did not provide any concrete evidence on the matter.
