Feb. 16 (UPI) -- Former President Barack Obama readdressed the existence of aliens after saying on a podcast that they are real over the weekend.
In an Instagram post on Sunday Obama said he has not seen evidence of the existence of aliens despite earlier saying that they are real. The clarification followed his appearance on a podcast with political commentator Brian Tyler Cohen on Saturday.
"Statistically, the universe is so vast that the odds are good there's life out there," Obama posted. "But the distances between solar systems are so great that the chances we've been visited by aliens is low, and I saw no evidence during my presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with us. Really!"
In the podcast interview published on Saturday, Obama said that aliens do exist, though this was during a segment of the show dedicated to quickfire-style questions. He also noted during this interview that he had not seen aliens.
