Obama's remarks about Area 51 and aliens were made a few months after Dan Farah, director of The Age of Disclosure claimed that the government is hiding evidence of alien life suggested that the US President Donald Trump might soon confirm that extraterrestrial life exists.

Former US President Barack Obama has confessed he believes in aliens but did not discover any evidence of their existence during his time in the White House.

After he was asked “Are aliens real?”, Obama said: “They’re real but I haven’t seen them.”
