Former President Obama says aliens likely exist but no proof of visitation, dismissing Area 51 conspiracy theories.

Former President Barack Obama told a podcaster he believes aliens are real, though he has never seen one, and dismissed conspiracy theories about Area 51 hiding extraterrestrial life, saying such a facility would have been concealed even from the president. He noted that while unexplained aerial phenomena are real and documented, there's no verified proof of alien visitation. His comments come amid growing public and congressional interest in UAPs, with military personnel reporting encounters and lawmakers accusing the Pentagon of withholding evidence.
