Former President Barack Obama dismissed any possibility that the U.S. government is hiding evidence of the presence of extraterrestrials on Earth.

During an interview with Stephen Colbert, host of the television program “Late Show,” the 64-year-old democrat pointed out that, if it were true, it would have been impossible to contain a secret of such magnitude.

“If there were aliens, alien spaceships or anything under the control of the government of the United States that we had knowledge —if we had seen photograph s, whatever it is— I assure you that some guy guarding the facility would have taken a selfie with one of the aliens and would have sent it to his girlfriend,” he mentioned in an ironic tone.

The man who ruled the nation for eight years even candidated to serve as humanity's emissary if first contact with beings from other planets ever arose.

“I have a diverse background, some experience in politics and diplomacy. I'm friendly,” he emphasized.

The comments by the first African-American to govern the nation come days after Donald Trump reiterated his commitment to release the file s related to research addressing the topic of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, a term now used to refer to UFOs.

“Let's publish whatever we can. It's been in people's minds for a long time... they want to know about UFOs and everything related to them. This process is very advanced... we've found m Many very interesting documents, and the first publications will begin very, very,soon,” he noted during the reception organized in the Oval Office for the astronauts of the ArtemisII mission.

Although Barack Obama dismisses it, Republican Tim Burchett, Representative of Tennessee, is convinced that reliable information exists waiting to be shared.

“The government isn't telling us everything that's happening. There's something at stake; it's not ours, nor the Russians, nor China's. If any of them "If they had it, they would control us, even more than China does now," the politician mentioned in an intervention on the Will Cain Country podcast.

As strange as it sounds, Matt Gaetz, former congressman for Florida, captured the attention of those following “The Benny Show,” by mentioning last month alleged The government has been carrying out “forced reproduction” programs with the objective of creating hybrid beings arising by mixing aliens with humans.

“A person in a military uniform, who worked for the United States Army, came to inform me about the location of reproduction programs. "hybrid duction where captured aliens crossed with humans to create a hybrid race capable of communicating intergalactically," he said.
