空军一号专机上，2月19日（路透社） – 周四，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普指责前总统巴拉克·奥巴马近期称“外星人是真实存在的”时泄露了机密信息，但特朗普未提供任何证据支持这一指控。
“他把机密信息公之于众……他本不该这么做，”特朗普在前往佐治亚州的空军一号专机上对记者表示，“他犯了个大错。”

周六发布的播客主持人布莱恩·泰勒·科恩采访中，奥巴马被问及外星人是否真实存在。
“它们是真实存在的，但我从未见过，而且它们也没有被存放在……51区。除非存在一个巨大的阴谋，让它们对美国总统隐瞒了这件事，否则不存在地下设施。”奥巴马表示。
51区是内华达州一处机密空军基地，边缘理论家曾猜测那里藏有外星人体和坠毁的宇宙飞船。2013年公布的中央情报局档案显示，这里是顶级机密侦察机的试验场。
奥巴马的言论中没有迹象表明他依赖了机密信息。

“在我任期内，没有证据表明外星人与我们有过接触。真的！”奥巴马周日在Instagram帖子中表示。
在帖子中，奥巴马解释了他对外星人存在的看法：宇宙如此浩瀚，地球之外存在生命的统计概率很高；但考虑到距离，外星生命造访地球的可能性较低。
周四，当被问及是否见过外星人存在的证据时，特朗普表示：“我不知道它们是否真实存在。”
白宫表示，对总统的评论没有补充信息。奥巴马办公室尚未立即回应置评请求。
近年来，五角大楼推动调查不明飞行物报告，2022年军方高层称没有证据表明外星人曾造访地球或在此坠毁。
2024年五角大楼报告称，二战结束以来美国政府调查未发现外星技术证据，大多数目击事件是对普通物体和现象的误认。

Trump claims Obama revealed classified information when he said aliens are real
February 19, 2026 9:49 PM UTC / Reuters / By Trevor Hunnicutt and Ryan Patrick Jones
ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE, Feb 19 (Reuters) – 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.
