US lawmakers call for investigation into UAP sightings
Fox News’ top political anchor Bret Baier examines the decades-long trail of UAP research and the alleged information past U.S. presidents were briefed on so-called “unexplained encounters” on “Special Report.”
Has former President Barack Obama finally answered one of the world’s greatest mysteries?
During an appearance Saturday on Brian Tyler Cohen’s podcast, the former commander-in-chief was asked directly whether aliens were real.
“They’re real, but I haven’t seen them,” Obama replied.
The 44th president also said no aliens were being held at the Nevada Air Force base known as Area 51.

“There is no underground facility unless there is a massive conspiracy and they hid it from the president of the United States,” Obama continued.
Cohen then asked what Obama’s first question was after becoming president — and it again involved aliens.
“Uh, where are the aliens?” he joked.

Saturday’s interview was not the first time Obama talked about the possible existence of extraterrestrial life.
During a 2021 appearance on “The Late Late Show with James Corden,” Obama said that after taking office he sought information about aliens and whether they were being studied in a secret laboratory. He was told the answer was ‘no’.
But Obama did note that officials are seriously investigating planes that behave in seemingly inexplicable ways.

“There are images and recordings of objects in the sky that we don’t know exactly what they are,” he said. “We can’t explain how they moved, their trajectory. They didn’t have an easily explained pattern. I think people are still taking it seriously to investigate and find out what that is.”
Fox News White House Correspondent Peter Doocy later asked President Joe Biden about Obama’s comments, referring to unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP).
“What do you think it is?”
Biden responded: “I would ask (Obama) again.”

UAPs have received attention in recent years, including from the federal government.
Congress passed the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Disclosure Act in 2023, and the War Department also established the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office.
