This article out today on CBC News in Canada. Re: Obama’s podcast comment.
The article begins with:
‘Former U.S. president Barack Obama took to Instagram on Sunday to clarify comments he’d made on a podcast about aliens being real, saying he did not see evidence that aliens have made contact with us.
The statement came in the wake of social media buzz following a video showing Obama’s answer to a lightning round of questions with podcast host Brian Tyler Cohen, when the former U.S. president was asked: “Are aliens real?”
“They’re real, but I haven’t seen them, and they’re not being kept in Area 51. There’s no underground facility. Unless, there’s this enormous conspiracy, and they hid it from the president of the United States,” Obama answered. ‘

His response was deliberately measured and intentionally reasonable.

Could we have a follow up: did you see any evidence outside of “making contact”

Long time lurker, first time poster. I have no idea what President Obama meant in the interview, but folks acting like this is just an off the cuff free wheeling conversation surprise me. These types of interviews are planned ahead, and the topics communicated and approved ahead of time, especially with someone like Obama. The question and lack of follow up are deliberate, and I tend to believe President Obama, who, whatever else you may think of him, is a phenomenal communicator, was also deliberate in his answer. Is it Disclosure? Maybe not. But I think his initial answer was a bit more than “aliens are likely to exist have you played with the Drake equation calculator?”

That interviewer wasn’t too bright. He could have asked follow-up questions.

I wouldn’t be surprised is he had some people give him a call insisting he “clear” up his comments

Am reminded of this

He saw no evidence during his presidency. That doesn’t mean he hasn’t seen evidence now.
I’m just glad him clarifying his statements brings UFOs into the headlines for another day
