- In a No Lie podcast lightning round, Barack Obama replied “They’re real, but I haven’t seen them” and dismissed claims that aliens are kept at Area 51.
- Posting on Instagram afterward, he clarified that extraterrestrial life is statistically plausible and that he saw no evidence of contact during his presidency.
- The clip circulated widely across social platforms and media, with several reports noting the host did not ask a follow-up question.

- The discussion comes during renewed public focus on UAPs after Pentagon-released Navy videos in 2021 and recently shared leaked radar clips, with no new government evidence disclosed.
