Psychic Uri Geller claims Obama admitted UFOs – not at Area 51

Prominent psychic Uri Geller has made a bold claim by attributing a massive Area 51 disclosure to former President Barack Obama. Geller also discussed a mysterious UFO-related trip to Korea he made with the US forces over 50 years ago.

Uri Geller, who has enjoyed an over-five-decade career as a magician, psychic, and illusionist, posted on X with the core claim: “Barack Obama has just admitted that aliens are real!” stating it as a definitive fact and specifying they are not at Area 51.

In the video accompanying a lengthy X post, Geller referenced Obama’s recent podcast remarks in which the former president said that “Area 51 could be a good conspiracy.”

Geller then said that, in actual fact, aliens were taken to the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, just 6.5 miles away from Washington, DC.

Geller says that a UFO crashed around Area 51, but that injured and disfigured aliens were taken from the site, and that “Some were mangled, some were wounded, some were intact.”

In a video accompanying his X post, Geller also referenced a trip he made 50 years ago to Korea on an American military mission, though it’s not clear why he would be employed in such a case.

What did Obama actually say?

On an appearance with Bryan Tyler Cohen, Obama participated in a quick-fire question format, with the leading question of “Are aliens real?” to which Obama responded: “They’re real, but I haven’t seen them.”

On the podcast, he also clarified more specifically that aliens are not being kept at Area 51.

“There’s no underground facility, unless there’s this enormous conspiracy and they hid it from the president of the United States.”

He later clarified in an Instagram post:

Statistically, the universe is so vast that the odds are good there’s life out there. But the distances between solar systems are so great that the chances we’ve been visited by aliens are low, and I saw no evidence during my presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with us. Really!

The mere mention of the word conspiracy seems to have prompted Geller to let loose with everything he’s accumulated, bringing out old photographs from his personal museum and attempting to jump on the disclosure bandwagon.

Geller is mixing his evidence

What’s confusing in Geller’s original X post and follow-up is a photograph and explanation of a trip he took 50 years ago to Korea.

In his video, Geller purported: “I’ve been told many times not to talk about things to do with Korea. I don’t care anymore.”

“The American army flew me undercover to look for tunnels. But that wasn’t the main reason.”

He explains that a huge UFO was there, so large that the forces couldn’t move it. Geller claims that the huge stones surrounding the site (which is allegedly still there) absorbed the cosmic forces.

The reaction from the X community was highly skeptical, with one user suggesting that his animated photo undermined his credibility.

We can also factor in that by opening with a UFO explanation in the vicinity of Area 51, coupled with an animated video, then shifting back 50 years to a trip to Korea, even if there were some truth to what Geller is suggesting, his communication style is highly conflatory.
