Former President Barack Obama Confirms Aliens Are There: Not in ‘Area 51’
Former president Barack Obama confirms that aliens are in fact real.
“They are true,” Obama, 64, told the political podcaster Brian Tyler Cohen on Friday, February 13, adding that although he knows that life in other countries is real, he has never personally seen the evidence that proves its existence.
“But I haven’t seen them yet,” he continued. “They are not kept in Area 51. There is no underground facility – unless there is this great conspiracy and they are hiding it from the President of the United States.”
Obama, who served as the 44th president of the United States from 2009 to 2017, admitted that “the first question he wanted answered” when he ascended to the highest office in the country was: “Where are the aliens?”
Despite Obama’s shocking admission to other countries, Cohen did not offer any follow-up questions about evidence that aliens are real during the couple’s interview.
In September 2025, Congress held hearings in which members of the House questioned five witnesses – including former members of the military – about their encounters with “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena,” or UAPs.
“I came here to present a report of what I saw,” Alexander Wigginsa former member of the US Navy, testified at the time, saying he saw a UAP on February 15, 2023, while aboard the USS Jackson off the coast of southern California.

“[I saw a] a bright tic-tac-shaped object exiting the ocean before connecting with three other similar objects,” Wiggins said at the time, adding that he could not explain how the objects could move so quickly and disappear from radar without effort.
Wiggins later urged the committee during testimony to do more to protect those who report UAP sightings.
“I’ve been in the Navy for almost 24 years, but what about those who have been there for two years and are dealing with things like this?” he asked the panel at the time, adding that those people may not know what to do or may be too afraid to report what they see early in their work.
Jeffrey Nuccetellia veteran of the US Air Force, told Congress that citizens “have a right to know the truth,” adding that the truth of unknown life “remains hidden” because of “stigma and confusion.”
During the 2021 appearance The Late Late Show with James Corden, Obama made similar claims about alien curiosity as soon as he became president of the United States.
“The truth is that when I came into office, I asked, ‘Is there a lab somewhere where we keep the unknown samples and the spacecraft?'”
Whoopi Goldberg did more on the Wednesday, March 27, episode of The View — like in a foreign country. During an interview with Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire Kumail Nanjiani, The View producer Sunny Hostin asked the 46-year-old actor if he believed in ghosts after filming. When Nanjiani said, “I don’t believe in ghosts, […]
He later agreed when he appeared The Ezra Klein Show podcast that year he believes that if aliens are proven beyond doubt to be real, the impact could dramatically change the Earth as we know it.
“There will be arguments immediately about, like, do we need to spend more money on weapons systems to defend ourselves,” he explained at the time. “New religions would emerge. And who knows what kind of conflicts we would have. We are good at creating conflicts.”
He went on to say, “It will not change my politics at all. Because my entire politics is based on the fact that we are small animals in this small piece floating in the middle of nowhere.”
