Barack Obama has revealed that aliens are 'real', but that Area 51 isn’t what you think it is.

Who knew the day would come where a former US president would casually drop the fact that aliens are not a conspiracy, but true entities that exist in the universe, and everyone takes the news well?

Guys, aliens are REAL.

No longer can you call people who claimed to see little green men flying around in the sky conspiracists or tin-foil hat people.

Because Barack Obama dropped some home truths, which have blown the whole thing wide open.

It all began when Obama was interviewed by Brian Tyler Cohen who asked him directly: “Are aliens real?”

Now, you might have expected some pre-written answer to this which dispels the rumor, but shockingly, that wasn’t on the cards.

Obama instead said, with his legs crossed and leaning back in a casual manner: “Uh, they're real, but I haven't seen them.”

However, he cleared up some theories about Area 51, the US military facility in Nevada that has long been the topic of speculation regarding aliens and UFOs.

“And they're not being kept in uh, what is it? Area 51!” Obama revealed to Cohen, adding: “There's no underground facility unless there's this enormous conspiracy and they hid it from the President of the United States.”

Cohen then asked: “What was the first question you wanted answered when you became president?”

To this, Obama joked: “Where are the aliens?”

As for his Area 51 claim, it makes sense.

Historically, it has been known as a US Air Force testing facility, where it conducts tests on military-grade equipment, such as the U-2 spy plane.

The U-2 became central to US intelligence gathering during the Cold War, as it was used to watch the Soviet Union, China and Cuba.

There have been many theories that it is used to house alien carcasses and to examine extraterrestrial technology to gain intelligence about UFOs, aliens, and the worlds beyond ours.

People were so convinced of this, however, in 2019, a Facebook event invited dozens to 'storm Area 51'.

Claiming 'They Can't Stop All Of Us,’ in the tagline, some people actually turned up, but nobody could get inside.

The idea was that the ‘Kyles of the world’ (stereotyped as energy-drinking gamers with anger issues) and anime fans (who would Naruto run) would overwhelm security. While some did show up, no one managed to get inside.

So, at least now we know what’s going on behind those closed doors.
