Barack Obama Jokes ‘Aliens Are Real,’ Dismisses Area 51 Cover-Up Claims

Washington: Former U.S. President Barack Obama sparked fresh debate about extraterrestrial life after joking that ‘aliens are real’ during an appearance on the ‘No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen.’ Speaking with host Brian Tyler Cohen, Obama clarified that while there are unexplained aerial phenomena, he has seen no evidence of secret government contact with alien beings.

He also dismissed conspiracy theories surrounding Area 51, the highly classified U.S. military base long linked to UFO lore. Obama joked that if aliens were being hidden there, it would require a conspiracy so secret that even the president was kept out of the loop.
