Barack Obama Clarifies Viral Claim That Aliens Are Real: ‘I Saw No Evidence During My Presidency’

Barack Obama is clarifying his position on whether aliens are real, after comments he made during an interview went viral. On the Feb. 14 episode of Brian Tyler Cohen’s “No Lie” podcast, the former president spoke on a wide range of topics, including the 2028 election and Bad Bunny’s recent Super Bowl halftime show.
