What Does President Obama Know About UFOs That He’s Not Letting On?

I am of the firm belief that there is alien life somewhere in the universe, but they have not visited Earth. That’s the kind of secret it would be much too hard to keep under wraps; do you really think Donald Trump would have kept that to himself, let alone all the other world leaders who would likely know about it? Plus there are all the low-level functionaries involved in these sorts of conspiracies, someone would have spilled the beans by now.

Astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson has also made a convincing argument for why aliens would not have visited Earth: to any being capable of getting here from where they live, Earth would have no intelligent life and no natural resources that wouldn’t be easier to acquire in an infinite number of places between here and there.

It all adds up to the likelihood that we’re not alone in the universe, but we may as well be alone.

Former President Barack Obama nonetheless had a lot of fun teasing Stephen Colbert with the idea he may know something we don’t. TMZ reports Obama told Colbert he was briefed on UFOs as president but wouldn’t say if there really was a UFO crash in Roswell or if it was just a weather balloon.

The main reason the US would want to support the UFO mythology is that a lot of things you think are aliens are too secret military test crafts, and without the idea of aliens people might figure that out.

Of course, there could just be aliens. Sure David Icke seems crazy, but you look me in the eye and tell me you haven’t looked at Donald Trump and thought “I would be totally unsurprised if this dude’s skin mask fell off and revealed a lizard alien. A fat lizard alien in an adult lizard diaper.”
