Former President Barack Obama had to go online to clarify some viral comments he made about extraterrestrials after he accidentally sent the internet into a frenzy. He had taken part in a quick-fire interview where he gave a one-word answer about whether aliens exist, and people went wild. He posted a clarification, explaining his actual stance and making clear he had not seen any aliens hiding in the White House.
The whole thing started during an interview released on Saturday. Media personality Brian Tyler Cohen asked the former president directly if aliens were real. Obama gave a quick affirmative answer, but added a key caveat about the famous conspiracy location.
