Was he not just being facetious?

Yeah, it seems like just a way to debunk the area 51 conspiracy. And we can't really say alien aren't real, because there's like billions of planet and some ought to be in a goldilock zone that has the exact condition we have.

He probably meant some mundane explanation, but it'd be nice to have clarity as to exactly why. I guess it was a lightning round though.

Probably Obama, like most people, figures there's life on another planet somewhere in the universe, but that tge aliens haven't visited Earth.

Yes, it's like saying ghosts are real.
