Obama shuts down alien buzz and says there's no evidence they've made contact

Former U.S. President Barack Obama has clarified comments he made about alien life on a podcast over the weekend. He said he did not see evidence during his presidency that aliens have made contact with humans. During a lightning round of questions with podcast host Brian Tyler Cohen, Obama said aliens were real, but that they were not being kept in Area 51. Obama later posted on Instagram that there were strong odds of other life in the universe given its vastness.
