""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!""
""They're real," he answered, continuing: "But I haven't seen them. And, they're not being kept in Area 51.""
"In 2013, the CIA acknowledged the existence of the site, but not UFO crashes, black-eyed extraterrestrials or staged moon landings."
A lightning-round response said "They're real" and added "But I haven't seen them. And, they're not being kept in Area 51." A follow-up clarification explained that the universe's vastness makes extraterrestrial life statistically likely, while the great distances between solar systems make visits improbable, and no evidence was seen during the presidential term that extraterrestrials have made contact. Area 51 is a top-secret Cold War test site in Nevada whose secrecy has fueled conspiracy theories. The CIA acknowledged the site's existence in 2013 but did not corroborate UFO crashes, alien beings, or staged moon landings. The site tested aircraft like the U-2 and B-2.
