Are Aliens Real?




The best that i am able to determine is that the last president to be properly briefed was Ronald Reagan and HW Bush.  I do believe we have a global security classification system that just about no president could ever meet.  alien contact bounces up into that platform.


We have plenty of other conforming evidence on top of well over 200,000 eye witnessws treports of ufo sightings.  Again the majority nare in fact air force operations and none of your businessw, or alternatively the USA Space Command which has been actually operational since around 1980 using gravity ships or UFOs.

right now, no president is trusted to keep his mouth shut.  Command and conttrol is surely the five eyes platform  thus crop circles in england and football sized craft as night.


President Obama declares aliens are REAL as he gives inside track on Area 51

Barack Obama declared that aliens are 'real' before firmly dismissing long-running conspiracy theories that extraterrestrials are being hidden at Area 51.

The candid exchange offered a rare glimpse into what presidents may know when it comes to one of America's most enduring mysteries.

The former president made the remarks when interviewer Brian Tyler Cohen asked him directly: 'Are aliens real?'



Obama's answer was direct: 'Uh, they're real, but I haven't seen them,' he said, before immediately addressing speculation surrounding Area 51, the secretive US military facility in Nevada that has long been at the center of extraterrestrial conspiracy theories.

'And they're not being kept in uh what is it? Area 51!' Obama continued. 'There's no underground facility unless there's this enormous conspiracy and they hid it from the president of the United States.'

His comments — delivered with a mix of humor and authority — amounted to a clear rejection of claims that the U.S. government is secretly housing alien life forms at the classified base.

Area 51 has fueled decades of speculation, particularly since the Cold War, when its remote desert location and classified operations made it a natural target for rumors about UFOs and extraterrestrial cover-ups.

The US government has acknowledged the facility's existence but has consistently said it is used for testing advanced military aircraft.

Cohen then asked what question he most wanted answered upon entering the White House.

'Where are the aliens?' Obama replied with a laugh.

The exchange came as part of a wide-ranging interview in which Obama reflected on his presidency and post-White House life.

Later in the interview the former president admitted that any return to elected office would likely cost him his marriage, joking that his wife Michelle would leave him if he ever attempted a political comeback.

The former president made the candid admission during a wide-ranging interview in which he faced up to the fact his days in politics are firmly behind him.

'First of all, I'm not a politician anymore and I can't be, right?' Obama began.

'I mean, I guess technically I could run for, you know, city council or something, but I'm not in elected office. I don't have levers of power. I'm term limited out. And by the way, I believe in the Constitution and also I believe in my marriage and Michelle would divorce me if I even if I could run again.'

The remark, delivered with Obama's trademark humor, offered a rare public window into the influence Michelle Obama holds over her husband's decisions.

Barack Obama said he and wife, Michelle, are focused on inspiring young people through their post-presidential work



It also highlighted the toll years at the center of American political life took on their family.

Obama has long acknowledged the sacrifices Michelle made during his ascent from Illinois state senator to back-to-back terms in the Oval Office.

Michelle has repeatedly spoken about the strain political life placed on their family, and has remained both his closest confidante throughout. Obama said that she is also a powerful force guiding over what comes next.



During the interview he emphasized that the couple's post-presidential mission is a shared one focused less on reclaiming power and more on cultivating the next generation.

'Michelle and I still have the capacity, not just here in the United States, but globally, to inspire and motivate young people and invite them in to this process,' Obama explained, describing their work through the Obama Foundation.

He framed the mission as essential at a moment when younger Americans face mounting challenges, from economic uncertainty to social isolation.

He argued that the role of him and his wife is to help empower others rather than lead from the front.

'That's going to come from the 20, 30-year-old's who know firsthand what it means to not be able to buy a house,' he said. 'They're the ones who are going to remake our institutions so that they are consistent with the values that are, I think, timeless.'

The Obamas' new presidential center in Chicago set to open in June will serve as the physical embodiment of that vision: part museum, part civic hub, and part training ground for emerging leaders.

Obama also acknowledged what may be a particular draw for some visitors.

'There will be a museum with Michelle's dresses since that's what people want to see,' he said with a laugh, referring to the fashion that helped make his wife one of the most admired and recognizable First 

The former president said their foundation works to empower the next generation of leaders globally. The couple are pictured in August 2024 at the Democratic National Convention

Her wardrobe choices became cultural touchstones during their eight years in the White House, symbolizing not just her personal style but a broader sense of representation, accessibility, and cultural influence.

But Obama made clear that beyond the dresses and memorabilia, Michelle's deeper legacy lies in her continued role as a global inspiration.

He credited both of them with using their post-presidential platform to elevate others - particularly young leaders who might otherwise never have access to power.

'Our job as leaders is to lift up other leaders,' Obama said. 'To empower others to find their gifts and help them exercise those gifts.'

That philosophy has guided their foundation's work, which has trained thousands of emerging leaders from across the United States and around the world - including grassroots organizers, teachers, healthcare professionals, and activists.



Obama joked the Obama Presidential Center, scheduled to open in June 2026, will include a section dedicated to Michelle's dresses 'since that's what people want to see'



Obama said he and Michelle continue to work together through the Obama Foundation. He described inspiring young people as a central mission of their post-White House life

Earlier in the half-hour long interview, Obama unleashed a blistering warning about America's collapsing political standards after President Donald Trump shared a video depicting him and Michelle Obama as apes.




Obama said that American political discourse had descended into a degrading 'clown show' that most Americans still find 'deeply troubling.'jority of the American people find this behavior deeply troubling,' Obama said.

'It is true that it gets attention. It's true that it's a distraction… you meet people… they still believe in decency, courtesy, kindness, and there's this sort of clown show that's happening in social media and on television.'

'What I saw in the beginning was really strong. It was about fraudulent elections. Anytime I see that stuff and it's credible, you put it up. I didn't do it. This was done by someone else. It was a re-truth but that was a very strong truth,' he said.
