1:25Now PlayingThe truth is out there — but former President Barack Obama’s lips are sealed.
The 44th commander-in-chief confirmed during a Monday interview with “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert that he sought classified information on extraterrestrials during his time in the Oval Office, but refused to divulge what he learned.
“Certainly asked about it,” said Obama when Colbert brought up UFOs during a wide-ranging interview to promote “A Promised Land,” Obama’s new memoir.
“And?” pressed the late-night CBS funnyman.
“Can’t tell you,” replied Obama, with an impish grin. “Sorry.”
Colbert took that non-answer as all the confirmation he needed that we are not alone.
“All right, I’ll take that as a ‘yes,'” he cracked. “Because if there were none, you’d say there was none. You just played your hand. I thought you were a poker player. You just 100 percent showed your river card.”
Obama, playing into the non-answer answer, did nothing to discourage Colbert’s conclusion.
“Feel free to think that,” the former president said.
Replied Colbert, “Oh, I do.”
In between chuckles, both men reflected on the idea that an alleged government cover-up of alien life was once regarded as the biggest conspiracy theory going.
“It used to be that UFOs and Roswell was the biggest conspiracy. And now that seems so tame, the idea that the government might have an alien spaceship,” opined Obama.
Zinged Colbert, “Now the biggest conspiracy is [that] people in Michigan vote.”
