"There's no underground facility, unless there's this enormous conspiracy, and they hid it from the president of the United States."   The remark went viral over the weekend, prompting the former president to issue a clarification.   "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!" he said in a statement.   (📺: "No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen")   #obama #aliens #briantylercohen #cspan Tue, 05 May 2026 15:49:28 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://motube.smithandtech.com https://motube.smithandtech.com/lazy-static/avatars/933c9118-81c8-4e69-a82c-512c3a13a060.jpg https://motube.smithandtech.com/videos/watch/c6a64330-499f-461f-8a23-959df959ed8b All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://motube.smithandtech.com/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
