Obama Says Aliens Are ‘Real,’ But They Aren’t at Area 51

The former president also condemned the actions of ICE in Minnesota and commented on a video posted by Trump.

That is some funny shit. Obama had two terms to admit this shit was real. And he cracked jokes about it. Had the entire Biden term with his hand up Biden's ass like a puppet to admit it, and didn't bother. Now he's reading the tea leaves and knows that the other side is heading to a disclosure (rumors are this summer on the birthday of Roswell) so he finally opens his mouth.

What a dickhead. Seriously man. Fucking politicians.

But honestly it's probably better to see it happen this way, in a gradual sense. So people can get used to the idea. It would be really cool if it could happen without any stock market crashes or rioting or madness. I mean it's possible I suppose. I just don't have a whole lot of faith in humanity at the moment.

Agreed with you on that point, man. The older I get, the more I think humans are full of shit. Too many of us, anyway. Our history is pretty bad.

Regarding Obama-- I think it's too soon to take any conclusions from that little interview clip. I honestly hope somebody follows up and asks him thorough questions so he can explain better what he meant.

It MIGHT be that he's expressing his own personal opinion that he thinks we've been visited by aliens, but he can't claim that he's seen DEFINITIVE proof of it. Again, I'd like to hear him explain it more thoroughly.

I've seen previous clips of him implying something to the effect, "yeah we have a lot of videos that just don't seem explainable."

Sounds like he's still claiming that he's not aware of any government agency that has proof of alien life. That's how I interpreted his joking demeanor and the "not in Area 51" comments, anyway.

EDIT: Just now saw Obama's comments clarifying what he meant. It's there in the comments below the Reels section. Obama's clarification:

I was trying to stick with the spirit of the speed round, but since it's gotten attention let me clarify. Statistically, the universe is so vast that the odds are good there's life out there. But the distances between solar systems are so great that the chances we've been visited by aliens is low, and I saw no evidence during my presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with us.

Really!

Well love or hate him he is intelligent. I don't read him as the kind of dude who says things without thought. He's too smart for that, I think he understands that what he says has impact.

But don't want to make this about Obama. I just find the timing of it very funny, seeing how there's so many rumors going that they're planning a Roswell birthday speech (8th July).

Hope we get to hear the truth though. Seems like it's the right time to do it. Though it'll probably be a speech about swamp gas.
