U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday accused former President Barack Obama of disclosing classified information when he recently said that aliens were real, but Trump did not cite any evidence to support the allegation.
“He took it out of classified information … He’s not supposed to be doing that,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One while traveling to Georgia. “He made a big mistake.”
During an interview with podcast host Brian Tyler Cohen released on Saturday, Obama was asked if aliens are 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 said.
Area 51 is a classified Air Force facility in Nevada that fringe theorists have speculated holds alien bodies and a crashed spaceship. CIA archives released in 2013 said it was a test site for top-secret spy planes.
There was no indication in his remarks that the former president relied on classified information.

“I saw no evidence during my presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with us. Really!” Obama said in an Instagram post on Sunday.
In the post, Obama explained his belief that aliens exist by saying the statistical odds of life beyond Earth were high because the universe is so vast. He added that the chances of extraterrestrial life visiting Earth were low given the distance.
On Thursday, Trump said, “I don’t know if they’re real or not” when asked whether he had seen evidence that aliens exist.
The White House said it had nothing to add to the president’s comments. Obama’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Pentagon in recent years undertook a push to investigate reports of unidentified flying objects, and senior military leaders said in 2022 they found no evidence to suggest that aliens have visited Earth or crash-landed here.
A 2024 Pentagon report said U.S. government investigations since the end of World War Two have found no evidence of extraterrestrial technology and most sightings were misidentified ordinary objects and phenomena.
I’m lucky I’ve got a hot date this evening with a young Scandinavian guy visiting Kelowna and looking for some Okanagan Action. Mr. Troll has got me pi ssed off enough as it is!
Such a filthy p*g Mr. Troll. My my. The projection and the shallowness is remarkable, even for a MAGAt. You must be the infected host all MAGAts come from. So full of invective and infection. Just like dear leader…
If any young men want to meet me, I’m game. I’m also tested. Clean

I am an alien and also a racist idiot. I don’t know why I still have a job at Witmar Holdings in Kelowna when I refer to people as “brownies”. Oh well I guess I will just finish my makeup and go clubbing.
Aliens come here for the weed
Of course you all know I suffer from extreme, late-stage TDS and anything I say in general is complete B S. I’m trying methods to control my stupidity and anger, including lots of gay sex.
Many federal agencies keep info from the POTUS under the plausible deniability clause. Just sayin’
The big mistake was letting Trump get a hold of the president’s office, twice. He will not give up power when the time comes. You watch. He will fight and cause death and bloodshed to retain his hold. At any rate, the damage done already is incomprehensible and I dont believe America will recover from his abject terrorism.
Obama, also well known as Obomber. He’s an idiot.
Our Amerikan former friends elected this imbecile TWICE.
The only thing missing from this National Inquirer story is a picture of Obama shaking hands with a guy in a green rubber suit, and Trump doing the Home alone face palm.
The monkey still trying to be relevant?
