Obama also denied popular conspiracy theories about allegedly hidden underground complexes by the US government or the detention of aliens at a secret military base <strong data-start=\"564\" data-end=\"575\">Zone 51<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"578\" data-end=\"887\">The politician noted that there are no underground facilities with extraterrestrials on the base, unless there is a large-scale conspiracy that could be hidden even from the President of the United States. His words quickly spread in the media and social media and reignited the global debate about UFOs and possible life beyond Earth.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"889\" data-end=\"936\">Why the topic of aliens has become relevant again<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"938\" data-end=\"1006\">The interest in extraterrestrial life has increased dramatically since the US started:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1008\" data-end=\"1228\">\n<li data-start=\"1008\" data-end=\"1075\">\n<p data-start=\"1010\" data-end=\"1075\">to declassify materials about <strong data-start=\"1039\" data-end=\"1073\">unknown aerial phenomena (UAP)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1076\" data-end=\"1145\">\n<p data-start=\"1078\" data-end=\"1145\">hold <strong data-start=\"1088\" data-end=\"1111\">Congressional hearings<\/strong> with the participation of the military and intelligence<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1146\" data-end=\"1228\">\n<p data-start=\"1148\" data-end=\"1228\">publish Pentagon reports on objects whose nature has not yet been explained<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1230\" data-end=\"1344\">These steps, for the first time in decades, moved the UFO topic from the realm of conspiracy theorists to <strong data-start=\"1305\" data-end=\"1343\">the sphere of official state debate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1346\" data-end=\"1380\">What is really known about Area 51<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1382\" data-end=\"1480\">The secret base in Nevada has been the centre of numerous conspiracy theories for decades.

This means that the question of extraterrestrial life remains <strong data-start=\"2255\" data-end=\"2286\">an open scientific challenge<\/strong>, and not just a topic of fiction.<\/p>\n<h2

data-start=\"2414\" data-end=\"2434\">world news<\/strong>, They had access to classified information.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2484\" data-end=\"2674\">Even the cautious phrase that aliens \u00abmay exist\u00bb is perceived as a signal:<br data-start=\"2572\" data-end=\"2575\" \/>The topic is no longer a taboo and is increasingly being discussed in <strong data-start=\"2624\" data-end=\"2673\">a serious political and scientific context<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2676\" data-end=\"2696\">The main conclusion<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2698\" data-end=\"2805\">The world is still <strong data-start=\"2711\" data-end=\"2751\">no evidence of the existence of aliens<\/strong>, but cannot completely deny this possibility.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2807\" data-end=\"2940\">Obama's statement only underscores that humanity is on the verge of new discoveries that could change our understanding of <strong data-start=\"2913\" data-end=\"2939\">the place of the Earth in the
