前总统巴拉克·奥巴马周末在一档播客节目中称外星人是真实存在的，这一言论引发社交媒体热议。他随后表示，自己并未看到外星人”与我们取得联系”的证据。
在与播客主持人布莱恩·泰勒·科恩的快速问答环节中，奥巴马被问及：”外星人是真实存在的吗？”
他回答道：”它们是真实存在的。”并补充道：”但我从未见过它们。而且，它们并没有被关在51区。不存在地下设施——除非存在一个巨大的阴谋，而他们向美国总统隐瞒了这一点。”
当被问及当选总统后最想得到答案的第一个问题是什么时，奥巴马开玩笑说：”外星人在哪里？”两人都笑了起来。
周日晚间，这位前总统在Instagram上发布了一份声明，似乎是在澄清他那些随后迅速传播的言论。
“我当时试图遵循快速问答的精神，但既然这些言论引起了关注，我还是来澄清一下。从统计数据来看，宇宙如此浩瀚，存在生命的可能性很大。但太阳系之间的距离如此遥远，我们被外星人访问过的可能性很低，而且在我的任期内，我没有看到任何证据表明外星人与我们有过接触。真的！”
位于内华达州沙漠的51区是冷战时期的绝密试验基地，长期以来其神秘性在不明飞行物爱好者中滋生了诸多阴谋论。
2013年，中央情报局承认了该基地的存在，但否认了UFO坠毁、黑眼睛外星人或伪造登月等说法。
经过数十年美国政府官员的否认，解密文件终于点名提及这个占地8000平方英里的设施。
该基地曾是众多绝密飞机的试验场，包括20世纪50年代的U-2侦察机，以及后来的B-2隐形轰炸机。
Obama: Odds are aliens are real but I saw no evidence of contact while president

After setting social media abuzz by saying on a podcast over the weekend that aliens were real, former President Barack Obama said he didn’t see evidence that aliens “have made contact with us.”
During a lightning round of questions with podcast host Brian Tyler Cohen, Obama was asked, “Are aliens real?”
“They’re real,” he answered, continuing, “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.”
When asked what the first question was that he wanted answered when he became president, Obama joked: “Where are the aliens?” And he and Cohen laughed.
On Sunday night, the former president released a statement on Instagram, appearing to clarify what he meant by his comments that have since gone viral.
“I was trying to stick with the spirit of the speed round, but since it’s gotten attention let me clarify. Statistically, the universe is so vast that the odds are good there’s life out there. But the distances between solar systems are so great that the chances we’ve been visited by aliens is low, and I saw no evidence during my presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with us. Really!”
Secrecy around Area 51, a top-secret Cold War test site in the Nevada desert, has long fueled conspiracy theories among UFO enthusiasts.
In 2013, the CIA acknowledged the existence of the site but not UFO crashes, black-eyed extraterrestrials or staged moon landings.
Declassified documents referred to the 8,000-square-mile installation by name after decades of U.S. government officials refusing to acknowledge it.
The base has been a testing ground for a host of top-secret aircraft including the U-2 in the 1950s, and later, the B-2 stealth bomber.
