Barack Obama Asked if There Were Alien Specimens, Confirms UFO Records ✖ Now that he's no longer in office, President Barack Obama can speak more candidly about subjects he wasn't able to discuss previously, which means he can admit that he was just as interested in finding out if the government had proof of alien life as paranormal enthusiasts were. While Obama seemingly set the record straight that there weren't any specimens or extraterrestrial remains hidden in any government facilities, there are records and footage of UFOs and UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) that there has yet to be any explanation for. Whether these are objects from another world or from another country, however, is yet to be determined.
