HELLO FUTURE: Trump, Obama’s “Aliens” Comment — What Did They Really Mean?
from HELLO FUTURE with Kevin Cirilli · host iHeartPodcasts
When Barack Obama acknowledged on national television that there are objects in our skies we “don’t know exactly what they are,” it wasn’t a punchline — it was a signal. On this episode of HELLO FUTURE, Kevin Cirilli sits down with sociocultural anthropologist Dr. Peter Skafish to unpack what that moment actually represents: not proof of aliens, but a historic shift in how governments talk about unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). From disclosure politics to the limits of scientific language, Skafish explains why the real story isn’t science fiction — it’s how institutions, democracy, and human imagination respond when confronted with the unknown.Meet The Future: https://mtf.tv/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
