OBAMA SAYS ALIENS ARE REAL Then Walks It Back

Show Transcript

Former President Barack Obama just said aliens are real, not hinted, not joked. He said it. The clip went viral, it actually made international news, and then about twenty four hours later, Obama posted a clarification on Instagram, trying to walk it all back. That raises a question, why why did a former president feel the need to issue a public correction over a lightning round answer on a podcast?

And while every outlet is covering the headline, there is a detail no one is highlighting that is huge. Before Obama ever made serious public statements about UFOs, someone with high level garment clearance allegedly briefed him directly on the phenomena that they witnessed firsthand. As always, I'm here to report the information without bias, and you can decide what to believe. You can find the sources in my detailed articles at ufonews dot com along within the description bocks below.

Hey, follow yours. I'm Christina Gomez and welcome to this episode of UFO News Updates. On February fourteenth, twenty twenty six, former President Barack Obama sat down with journalists Brian Tyler Cohen on the No Lie Podcast during a lightning round segment, Brian asked Obama on point blank, are aliens real? Here's what he said, Are aliens real?

They're real, but I haven't seen them, and they're not being kept in It fifty one. There's no underground facility unless there's this enormous conspiracy and they hit it from the President of the United States. As you can tell, this was a very casual exchange, and his response was immediate. He confirmed that he believes aliens are real, but said he has not personally seen them.

He pushed back the idea that anything being stored in Area fifty one, the classified Air Force facility in Nevada that has been at the center of UFO speculation for decades because of Bob Blazaar, and he said there is no underground facility there unless, as he points out, there's some enormous conspiracy and they managed to hide it from sitting presidents, which wouldn't be a surprise if true. Now, this is not the first time Obama has addressed this subject. He has actually spoken publicly about aliens and unknown objects on at least six occasions, going back all the way to twenty thirteen. In December of that year, during the Kennedy Center honor ceremony, he publicly discussed area fifty one.

Then in May of twenty twenty one, he appeared on The Late Late Show with James Cordon and the tone changed completely. He told James that when he first took office, he asked if there was a lab somewhere holding alien specimens and spacecraft. The answer was no. But then he said something pretty significant.

He stated that there is footage and records of objects in the sky at the government doesn't know exactly what they are, where they come from, and he said that he could not explain how these objects moved or even their trajectory. That was a former president confirming on camera that something unexplained is happening in our skies. But then this weekend he went even further. Brian followed up by asking what the first thing was that Obama wanted to know as soon as he became president.

What was the first question you wanted answered when you became president? Where are the aliens? Where the aliens? About twenty four hours after the podcast dropped and the clip went viral, Obama posted a clarification on Instagram.

He wrote, quote, I was trying to stick with the spirits of the speed round. But since it's gotten attention, let me clarify statistically, the universe is so vast that the odds are good there's life out there, but the distances between solar systems are so great that the chances we've been visited by aliens is low. And I saw no evidence during my presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with us. Really, So here's my question, why issue that statement at all?

If it was just a lighthearted joke and the Lightning Round, why take the time to publicly walk it back. Former presidents say things and interviews all the time. They don't typically go on social media the next day to clarify a casual answer. Was their pressure from somewhere?

Did he feel like he crossed a line? Is there a stigma even for former presidents when it comes to this topic, because the fact that he felt the need to correct the course suggests that those words that he shared they were real, and they carried more weight than he intended, or maybe more weight than someone wanted them to carry. And that's whe're thinking about because when you hear what comes next, this all starts to connect. So don't go anywhere So we have a former Presidentdent who went from making jokes about UFOs to confirming unexplained aerial objects in twenty twenty one, to saying aliens are real in twenty twenty six, to walk it all back on Instagram twenty four hours later.

That is quite a journey. And the question is what happens along the way to shift his tone so dramatically in the first place, this is the part of the story that nobody is talking about. In an interview with journalist Ross Coulthart, experiencer Chris Bledsoe described a direct connection between what was happening at his property in North Carolina and the highest levels of government. Here's what Bledsoe told Ross last year about Obama.

Is it correct that Tim Tyler briefed Barack Obama about what he'd witnessed at Blitze runj Yes, so he briefed President Obama. And I have the napkin from the dinner. Table that he said that was from Kem David David Tim Taylor the when I gave it to him, And does he say what President Obama's reaction was? He did not say, Because there is that interesting turning point with President Obama where he gave what I think is admirably one of the most forward statements by any president on UAPs, where he formally acknowledges that there is a there there, there's a mystery there, and it's quite a noble moment now and I think it will go down in history.

So, according to Chris tim Taylor, a man who held high level security clearances through the National Reconnaissance Office, personally briefed President Obama had Camp David on phenomena he had witnessed at the Bloodsoap property. Anne Ross himself pointed out that there was a turning point with Obama after that, with his public statements on newap's UFOs becoming noticeably more serious. Now, I want to be clear here this has not been independently verified, but the timeline does add up. Obama went from jokes and deflection in twenty thirteen to serious on the record acknowledgments really starting in twenty twenty one, something shifted, and according to Bledsoam, the shift may have had a very specific trigger.

And speaking of deflections, let's go back to a twenty fifteen moment. This is what Obama sounded like when Jimmy Kimmel pressed him on whether he looked into UFO files. Happens, aliens will not let it happen. They exercise strict control over us.

Compare that tone and then deflection to what he said this past weekend. This is a very different Obama. Now, Bud Kimmel didn't stop there. Back in twenty fifteen, he pushed harder.

And what Obama said next is something seeing people are still debating to this day. Did you look, did you see? Did you exploit? I can't reveal anything.

Oh really, because President Clinton said he did go right in and he did check and there was nothing. Well, you know, that's what we're instructed to say. That is what we're instructed to say. Joke or not when a former president says that, it carries weight.

And Obama is not alone in this. The connection between the White House and UFOs goes back over seventy years. Who's really pulling the strings here the aliens themselves or those deep within the government not allowing either presidents to be briefed on the topic or to publicly speak about it. In July of nineteen fifty two, unknown objects were tracked on radar over Washington, DC.

Two weekends in a row, fighter jets were scrambled and could not keep up. President Truman personally requested a briefing from Project Blue Book, the Air Force program investigating UFO sightings, and President Eisenhower was allegedly briefed right after winning the nineteen fifty two election, and there are persistent accounts from military witnesses that he may have had a direct encounter with the craft of unknown origin at Holloman Air Force Base back in nineteen fifty five, after disappearing from public view for over thirty six hours during what was supposed to be a hunting vacation and other cases that was supposed to be a dentist appointment. President Carter witnessed a UFO himself back in nineteen sixty nine with about twenty five other people while he was governor of Georgia.

He pledged during his campaign to disclose what the government knew, but after winning he backed away, saying some information had defense implications. He even asked NASA directly to investigate UFOs, and NASA declined. President Reagan saw UFO first hand in nineteen seventy four from a CESSNA over Bakersfield, California, and the pilot described an object that axhilerated at a forty five degree angle at speeds no conventional aircraft could match. And then in nineteen eighty seven, standing before the UN, Reagan asked the world to consider what would happen if we faced a threats from the outside world.

The nash the room is not an alien force already among us George H. W. Bush in this case, Bush Senior, a former CIA director, was asked about UFO's while campaigning and reportedly said Americans can't handle the truth. Bill Clinton said on Jimmy Kimmel Live that he had people look into Area fifty one and review the Roswell papers.

He said there were no aliens there, but later on Live with Kelly and Ryan, he admitted there are things flying up around in our skies that haven't been fully identified. From President Truman in nineteen fifty two to Obama in twenty twenty six, this conversation has been happening at the highest levels of government for over seven decades, and this weekend it becomes the most direct it has ever been. Even if someone felt the need to walk it all back, here is how Wyo, an international press outlet, covered this. Obama's remarks come at a time of renewed public interest in unidentified aerial phenomena following Pentagon reports and congressional hearings examining unexplained sightings reported by a military personnel.

While he did acknowledge the possibility of life beyond Earth, Obama did not offer any evidence of alien visits or contents. The mystery and the debate are still very much alive. Obama said they are real, and then he walked it back. But he also said in twenty twenty one, there are objects in our sky that the government cannot explain.

And according to Bledsoe, someone briefed Obama directly at Camp David, so which version do we believe? The lightning round answer or the Instagram correction? Drop your thoughts in the comments below. I'm Christina gomer As not as it for today.
