Bill Clinton made the astounding assertion that he looked for aliens during his presidency.
During an appearance on “The Late Late Show with James Corden” that aired on Thursday, Clinton said he sent US agents to the mysterious Area 51 to hunt for aliens.
“We also sent people to Area 51 to make sure there were no aliens,” he said, to which Corden questioned who went to the once-top secret military base.
“Oh, if I told you that…” Clinton laughed before disclosing he dispatched Sandy Berger, his national security adviser, who died of cancer in 2015.
For decades, the top-secret military station in the Nevada desert has piqued interest, with many conspiracy theorists claiming it harbors aliens and UFOs.
Some people believe the base was used to stage the 1969 moon landing.

The 75-year-old then went on to describe a trip he and his wife Hillary took to Hawaii, where they spoke with scientists working on enormous telescopes.
“I said ‘Do you guys argue about the likelihood of life in outer space?’ He said we have huge arguments,” Clinton said.
“He said, ‘there are those of us who think it’s 85 percent likely and those of us who think it’s 95 percent likely.’
“And these are people who spend their lives doing this. He said ‘we think, in other words, it’s very unlikely that there is not life’.
“There are a billion, not a billion planets, but a billion solar systems.”
People from all across the country descended on Nevada in 2019 with the purpose of storming Area 51.
The rally, dubbed ‘Storm Area 51: They Can’t Stop Us All,’ attracted half a million people. Huge telescopes to operate
Congress had its first hearing on UFOs in almost 50 years in May. While it did not confirm the existence of alien life, it did state that sightings of unexplained vessels are taken seriously as a national security concern by the US military.
Last Monday, NASA announced the formation of a team to investigate the unusual occurrences. From a scientific standpoint, researchers will collect data on “events in the sky that cannot be classified as aircraft or known natural occurrences.”
