Members of the current administration are well aware of this reality.
Former US President Barack Obama unexpectedly spoke about the existence of extraterrestrial life and the rumors surrounding "Area 51." In the podcast No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen, he discussed aliens with the host.
When asked if aliens are real, Obama said, "They exist, but I have never seen them."
At the same time, he immediately dismissed popular theories that extraterrestrial beings are supposedly kept at a secret base in Nevada.
"They are not kept... how should I put it? In 'Area 51'! There is no underground base. Unless there is a grand conspiracy, and all of this has been hidden even from the President of the United States," he stated.
The former president made it clear that, to his knowledge, there are no secret complexes with aliens. However, the conversation was not without irony. When asked what answer he most wanted to receive when he became president, Obama smiled and admitted, "Where are the aliens?"
While Barack Obama allowed himself to ironically ponder about aliens, more serious statements have emerged around Donald Trump. Whistleblower and former US Air Force major David Grusch claimed that the Republican was allegedly "fully informed" about secret data concerning UFOs and extraterrestrial life.
According to Grusch, Trump received reports about crashed craft, supposedly non-human remains seized by the US military, as well as the origins of these beings and their intentions.
"Members of the current administration are well aware of this reality. Certainly, the sitting president is very well informed on this matter," Grusch was quoted by the Daily Mail. The former intelligence officer insists he personally saw reports, data, and photographs of non-human bodies. Moreover, he informed congressmen that during Trump's first presidential term, he was allegedly briefed on the existence of several alien races and even that one of them was interbreeding with humans.
In 2023, Grusch testified before the US Congress, stating that secret units had been engaged in UFO recovery and reverse engineering programs for decades. No physical evidence of these claims has been publicly presented, but the story has continued in the political arena.
If we are to believe Obama's words, there are no underground storage facilities with aliens in Nevada. However, "Area 51" has fueled the myth of hidden contacts with extraterrestrial civilizations for decades.
The legend received a significant boost in the late 1980s from physicist Robert Lazar. He claimed to have worked at the base on the "reverse engineering" of nine alien spacecraft and had seen autopsy materials of aliens. Later, his biography and qualifications raised serious doubts, but the stories quickly spread through tabloids and documentaries, turning the military facility into a cult site for ufologists.
The connection to the 1947 "Roswell Incident" proved particularly resilient. According to conspiracy theorists, the wreckage of the ship and the bodies of the pilots were allegedly secretly transported to "Area 51." However, the US Air Force stated back in 1994 that the found fragments belonged to a secret balloon from the "Mogul" project, created to monitor Soviet nuclear tests.
Most "UFOs" over the base were later explained as tests of U-2, F-117, and other classified aircraft. Moreover, journalistic investigations showed that the UFO topic was sometimes used as a convenient cover for real military developments. In 2019, 3.5 million people signed up for a joking "storming of Area 51." In reality, about six thousand curious individuals arrived at the base gates, and five were detained for attempting to cross the perimeter.
Today, "Area 51" is officially recognized as a US Air Force test site called Groom Lake. Charter flights from Janet Airlines fly to the base daily, and satellite images capture hangars and runways. There is still no evidence of aliens.
