After setting social media abuzz by saying aliens were real, former President Barack Obama said he didn't see evidence that aliens "have made contact with us."

Former President Barack Obama said he did not see evidence that aliens “have made contact with us,” after sending social media abuzz by saying aliens were real on a podcast over the weekend.

Former President Barack Obama posted on Instagram Sunday that he did not see any evidence that aliens existed while he was president.

Former President Barack Obama has clarified that during his term, he saw "no evidence" that aliens are real, after declaring the existence of extraterrestrials in a podcast clip that blew up over the weekend.

YouGov, a research and analytics firm, found last year that most Americans believe in aliens. Its poll results showed in November that 56% of adults, including 61% of Democrats and 46% of Republicans, said there is extraterrestrial life.

Obama explained his belief that aliens exist by saying the statistical odds of life beyond Earth were high because the universe is so vast.
