“Where are the aliens?”

Former President Barack Obama, joking during a podcast interview about one of the first questions he wanted answered after taking office. Obama said he believes extraterrestrial life probably exists somewhere in the universe, but he dismissed conspiracy theories that aliens are being hidden at Area 51, a highly classified U.S. military installation in southern Nevada long used to test advanced aircraft. The secrecy surrounding the remote site has fueled decades of UFO speculation, but Obama said there is no underground facility containing extraterrestrials. Polling shows the mystery persists, with about a quarter of Americans believing crashed UFOs are stored there and more than half saying they think alien life exists. (The Hill)
