Bill Clinton speaks of America's “Zone 51”: I sent agents to see if there were aliens

At that, Bill Clinton admitted he sent agents to “Zona 51” because he wanted to know if there were foreigners at the base. The former US president also found that scientists told him there are up to 95 percent sure that humanity is not alone in the universe.

Bill Clinton, 75, spoke about the very subject on The Latte Show while discussions about UFOs have taken their seat in Washington DC, following abcnews.al.

Strange phenomena in the sky were once the realm of conspiracy theories, but now lawmakers and U.S. intelligence officials are taking this topic seriously as a concern to national security.

American officials have admitted that there are objects in the sky that they don't understand, which are now most often called “Unidentified Air Fenomen” (UAP).

When the Laté Late Show moderator Reggie Watts asked about the subject, the public laughed and Bill addressed them saying: “This is a legitimate question now”

Clinton, who director of the White House from 1993 to 2001, found that he and National Security Adviser Sandy Berger were interested in UFOs.

We made every effort to learn about Roswell and also sent people to Zone 51 to make sure there were no aliens”, he said.

Clinton was interrupted by James Corden, who asked whom he sent to Zone 51, and then joked: “Oh, I wish I could tell you that.” The self-democratic continued and discovered that Berger had been sent to Zone 51.

Clinton said that the notorious base in Nevada, which is subject to countless urban legends and modern folk parts, is where many US secret projects are developed regarding military aircraft. This is why they are so secretive”, he said.

He then went on to tell a story about a visit he and his wife, Hillary, made to WM Keck Observatory in Hawaii.

Clinton visited the facility and asked scientists about the possibility of aliens somewhere in the universe. The former president said that scientists had “large arguments”, but the dispute is among those who believe it is 85 percent possible, and those who think it's 95 percent sure.

Clinton found out that scientists had told him that it was too impossible to have life anywhere else in the massive universe except Earth.

Clinton is just one of many high-profile names, including former US President Barack Obama and NASA chief Bill Nelson, who have encouraged people to take the talks of aliens and UFOs seriously.

NASA only last week announced it was launching its probe in the UAP, while Russian space agency Roscomos also confirmed they are also conducting an investigation. g.v/abcnews. al
