"They're real,"
"But I haven't seen them. And they're not being kept in Area 51."
"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!"
Barack Obama responded 'They're real' during a podcast speed round but clarified he had not seen aliens and they were not being held at Area 51. The brief response generated online speculation about whether he had privileged information. Obama posted a clarification on Instagram stating he had no greater insight than anyone else, noting statistical likelihood of life given the vastness of the universe but emphasizing that immense interstellar distances make visits unlikely. He said he saw no evidence during his presidency that extraterrestrials had made contact. Interest in the topic has risen alongside past declassifications and Area 51 secrecy.
