""They're real," Obama said coolly when asked about their existence, "but I haven't seen them." "And they're not being kept in... what is it? Area 51," he continued. "There's no underground facility unless there's this enormous conspiracy and they hid it from the president of the United States." As Obama conspicuously sipped his tea, Cohen fired off another query: "what was the first question that you wanted answered when you became president?" Obama replied with a smile: "Where are the aliens?""
"If you take Obama at his word, it was fresh-off-the-grill nothingburger. Like NASA's top scientists and most well-informed space enthusiasts, the 42nd president was saying that though he strongly suspects life is out there somewhere, he's seen no confirmation of it himself. But the remarks, which came during the podcast's "lightning round" segment, kicked up a storm of speculation, especially amid official investigations into the UFO phenomenon reaching the floor of Congress."
"Self-proclaimed body language experts came out in droves, analyzing the eye contact Obama made during the exchange. Particularly galaxy-brained observers even pointed to how confidently Obama asserted his point as a counterintuitive indication that he must've seen some definitive evidence of aliens' existence during his stint in the Oval Office. Meanwhile, Obama was probably reminded of what it was like to be president, when every comment and gesture carries the authority of office and is scrutinized and fed into a vicious news cycle."
Former president Barack Obama stated during a podcast that aliens are real but that he has not seen them and that they are not being kept at Area 51 or in an underground facility unless an enormous conspiracy hid them from the president. The remark prompted public speculation as official UFO investigations reached Congress. Observers and self-styled body language analysts scrutinized his eye contact and confidence, suggesting he might have seen evidence. The exchange included a lightening-round question about what his first presidential question would be, to which he responded, 'Where are the aliens?' He later posted an Instagram clarification.
