'They're real, but I haven't seen them,' Obama replied. He joked that they are not being kept at Area 51, as far as he knows.

DOOCY: Barack Obama said that aliens are real. Have you seen any evidence of non-human visitors to earth? TRUMP: Well, he gave classified information. He's not supposed to be doing that. DOOCY: So aliens are real? TRUMP: I don't know if they're real or not. He made a big mistake.

Sorry but I don't believe in aliens. Just not logical.

Laura,

"Sorry but I don't believe in aliens."

I don't believe men can really turn into women.

I believe if you are born with --------- you are a man.

Laura,

It is America, after all.

Just when they pull you up into their spaceship, you can't say I didn't warn you.

You're a male.
But you're not a man when you're born with ---------.
You're an infant. A male infant. But not a man.
Babies don't have a gender identity and it's gross to force one on them.

Wall Street Journal is reporting Trump is ordering the release of UFO files.

I suspect President Trump is only doing this because he has verified that none of the Aliens are listed in the Epstein Files.

What if aliens arrived and they looked exactly like transgender male-to-female people? Pedo-party supporters would kill them

UFO FILES? ---- THAT. EPSTEIN FILES, LIL' BILLY. EPSTEIN FILES.

No one believed him either.

Funny... Obama speculating about the odds being in favor of aliens is suddenly, "Aliens are real!".

Would not be surprised if he did so just to tee Trump off, who was about to grandstand releasing Gov files.

Obama did not say they were visiting us. He just admitted to what is obviously statistically possible.

It's easy for you to believe in a Magic Sky God that created man whole out of the dust and then a woman from his ribs but believing that life can exist somewhere else in a vast Universe that contains trillions of other stars and planets?

Why that's just step too far!

lol

After they raped em first of course. I doubt they wanna rape them after they kill them. But you never know about republicans these days.

Donner,

Trump said Obama has revealed secret information without the authority.

Disregard Obama's attempt to backpeddle. Any explanation at that point is meaningless.

Obama said,"They are real"

"Trump said Obama has revealed secret information without the authority."

Obama must have given himself that authority when he was President, as is within his powers as President.

Donner,

This isn't scifi anymore.

I've kept up with much of this over 5 years.

This isn't a sudden revelation for people who have been paying attention.

During Trump's first term, he initiated Congress to officially get involved.

He's not the first. Harry Reid, Senate Majority Leader, took a bold step funding more research into UFO's because he was absolutely convinced we are not alone.

Marco Rubio is a current supporter of this effort to see how the US is, not might be, vulnerable to these crafts that have been observed in the air and documented since WWI.

I find this interesting because I want to be on the starting line watching this unfold.

Dwarf galaxies NGC 147 (left) and NGC 185 stand side by side in this deep telescopic portrait.

That's about the same amount of nighttime sky that a full-moon covers click here to see the hi-resolution version: https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/2602/N147N185.png ). Look at the number of galaxies in that image, noting that each gaaxy may have hundreds or thousands of solar systems ...

Lamp,

If there's any truth to this, the more likely scenario, based on current observations, is that they're older than the human race and may be using the oceans as their base.

You are correct. The Milky Way Galaxy that our solar system is a very small part of, is one of billions of such galaxies.

It would be a reasonable guess that an advanced life form may have learned to travel from one location to another in space without even physically moving.

#21 | Posted by BillJohnson at 2026-02-20 04:13 PM | Reply

If you compared the size of our solar system (planets revolving around our sun) to the Milky Way Galaxy that we're within, it would be approximately comparing the thickness of a hair to the diameter of our earth.

And there are billions of these galaxies.

Still think we're the only life form out there?

You really must not be reading posts from beginning to end.

I have never said I believe they don't exist. I've also never said I believe they exist.

There's a lot of possible evidence out there and people who have seen things.

It's getting awfully high up the food chain of people with credentials telling their stories.

I'm waiting to see one.

(but no hurry...don't really want to see one either)

I don't doubt life in whatever weird and wonderful form exists elsewhere in the universe. I do doubt any of those life forms have come here, to an insignificant pebble rotating around a mediocre star at the edge of a not particularly interesting galaxy. Do you know how long it takes light to travel from one side of the Milky Way to the other?
