In a recent podcast interview with Brian Tyler Cohen, former President Barack Obama sparked a media frenzy by stating that he thinks aliens are real. However, he quickly clarified that he has not seen any evidence of extraterrestrial contact with Earth. Following his comments, Obama posted a statement on Instagram emphasizing, "I have not seen any evidence of them," and explained that he was trying to stick with the spirit of the rapid-fire questioning format of the interview. This clarification comes after a wave of public interest in UFOs, particularly following the passage of the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Disclosure Act in 2023, which aims to increase transparency about UAPs. As reported by The Guardian, Obama's remarks have reignited discussions about government transparency regarding unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP).
