This Thursday (19), Trump accused Obama of disclosing classified information when he recently said that aliens were real, but did not cite any evidence to support the claim. “He took that from classified information… He shouldn’t have done that,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One during a trip to Georgia. “He made a big mistake.” “Area 51” is a classified Air Force facility in Nevada that conspiracy theories speculate houses alien bodies and a crashed spacecraft. CIA files released in 2013 claimed it was a testing site for top-secret spy planes. There was no indication in his statements that the former president relied on classified information.

In the post, Obama explained his belief that aliens exist, saying the statistical odds of life beyond Earth are high because the universe is so vast. He added that the chances of extraterrestrial life visiting Earth are low, due to the distance.

The White House said it had nothing to add to the president’s comments. Obama’s office did not respond by press time to a request for comment. The Pentagon in recent years has begun an effort to investigate reports of unidentified flying objects (UFOs), and senior military leaders said in 2022 that they had found no evidence to suggest aliens had visited Earth. A 2024 Pentagon report said that U.S. government investigations since the end of World War II had found no evidence of extraterrestrial technology and that most sightings were misidentified common objects and phenomena.
