The "Late Late Show" by talk show host James Corden on the US television channel CBS was cheerful: host, late night band, even a laughing studio audience - and a very cheerful Barack Obama switched on from his study.
In the course of the interview, the ex-president was asked what he thought of footage of the US military showing unidentified flying objects.
The band leader wanted to know what it was up to "the damned aliens".
Obama initially joked dryly: "When it comes to aliens, there are things I can't say on air." After a few laughs, he went on to say that when he took office he actually asked for intelligence information: "Is there a laboratory anywhere, in which we keep aliens and spaceships? "After" a little research "the answer was:" No. "

Then the former US president became serious: "It is true that there are recordings of objects in the sky that we do not know exactly what they are," he said.
There are pictures of mysterious objects whose trajectories and movements cannot be precisely explained.
These are faster and more maneuverable than anything the US military has.
“We really need to find out what this is.
But I can't tell you anything today. ”The military had published the recordings themselves last year.
