Barack Obama Breaks Silence and Confirms: “Extraterrestrials Are Real”

In a revealing interview with journalist Brian Tyler Cohen, the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, directly addressed one of the topics that has most fascinated and generated conspiracy theories in recent decades: extraterrestrial visits to Earth.

During a rapid-fire question session at the end of the conversation (at the 44-minute mark), Cohen asked the question many citizens would like to ask a commander-in-chief: “Are aliens real?” Obama’s response was immediate and surprising: “They are real.” However, he added with good humor that he personally has never had an encounter with them.

The former president shared that his curiosity about the subject is not recent. According to him, the first question he wanted to clarify upon taking office in 2009 was precisely about the whereabouts of beings from other worlds. Despite this, Obama took the opportunity to debunk some persistent rumors about secret military installations. He stated that alleged remains of visitors from UFO incidents are not stored at Area 51 and denied the existence of underground bases dedicated to this. “There is no underground facility there, unless there is a massive conspiracy and even I, as president, was kept in the dark,” he stated, commenting on the government’s secrecy regarding the phenomenon.

These statements gain even more relevance in the current political context. While Obama acknowledges the phenomenon in an analytical manner, recent reports indicate that Donald Trump is allegedly preparing a “historic disclosure speech” regarding contact with non-human intelligences for July 2026. The contrast suggests that the topic has moved beyond mere science fiction and has become a relevant point on the American public agenda, with high-level political figures validating the legitimacy of a phenomenon previously treated with extreme skepticism.

For now, Obama maintains a position of informed caution, recognizing the existence of these phenomena while distancing himself from more extreme theories. Society continues to wait for time and the possible declassification of official files to reveal the definitive truth.
