Former US President Obama says no evidence of alien contact after podcast remarks spark reaction

ISTANBUL (AA) – Former US President Barack Obama said on Sunday that there is no evidence aliens have made contact with the Earth, clarifying that he has not seen any evidence of them.
The statement came following Obama’s conversation with American podcast host Brian Tyler Cohen, where he stated that aliens “are real.”
“They’re real, but I haven’t seen them,” he said on the podcast published on Saturday, answering the question about extraterrestrials.
“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,” Obama said.
However, after facing a public reaction, Obama released a statement on US social media Instagram, saying that he “was trying to stick with the spirit of the speed round.”
“Statistically, the universe is so vast that the odds are good there’s life out there,” he said. “But the distances between solar systems are so great that the chances we’ve been visited by aliens are low, and I saw no evidence during my presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with us. Really!”
Area 51 is a highly classified US Air Force facility situated at Groom Lake in southern Nevada. While it has long been the subject of conspiracy theories involving extraterrestrials, its only officially acknowledged function is aircraft testing.
