In an interview with podcaster Brian Tyler Cohen, President Barack Obama was asked if aliens are real, to which he replied: They’re real, but I haven’t seen them and they’re not being kept in Area 51. There’s no underground facility… Unless there is this enormous conspiracy and they kept it from the President of the United States.
The interviewer just moved on without any follow up questions, but the internet (me) freaked out so President Obama then had to clarify his comments on his Instagram.
