""Where are the aliens?""
""They're real, but I haven't seen them, and they're not being kept in what is it? There's no underground facility, unless there's this enormous conspiracy and they hid it from the president of the United States.""
""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!""
Former President Barack Obama prompted speculation after jokingly asking "Where are the aliens?" during a podcast speed-round question. He said, "They're real, but I haven't seen them," and suggested they are not being kept in an underground facility unless an enormous conspiracy hid them from the president. The exchange went viral and renewed scrutiny about what presidents might know regarding Area 51. Obama later posted on Instagram clarifying that the universe is vast and life is statistically likely, but distances make visitation unlikely and he saw no evidence of extraterrestrial contact during his presidency.
