Former President Bill Clinton revealed this week that during his presidency, he sent his national security adviser to inspect Area 51 in Nevada for aliens.

Clinton said he and his former chief of staff, John Podesta "made every effort to find out everything about Roswell" during an appearance on "The Late Late Show with James Corden" on Thursday.

We also sent people to Area 51 to make sure there were no aliens," he said. James Corden then asked more about the subject. "Oh, if I told you that..." Clinton joked before revealing that he sent Sandy Berger, his national security adviser, who died of cancer in 2015.

"I said, 'We gotta find out how we're gonna deal with this because that's where we do a lot of our invisibility research, in terms of technology, like how do we fly airplanes that aren't picked up by radar and all that,'" Clinton discussed excitedly. "So that's why they're so secretive. But there's no aliens, as I know."

Clinton went on to recall a trip to Hawaii in 2018 with his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, during which they visited the W. M. Keck Observatory.

He said he met with scientists after touring the mountain's telescopes and asked them if they disagreed about "the likelihood of life in outer space." The scientists, Clinton told the audience, have "huge disagreements" on the subject.

"He said, 'There are those of us who think it's 85% likely and those of us who think it's 95% likely,'" Clinton said. "These are people who spend their lives doing this.

Congress held its first hearing on UFOs in over 50 years in May. While it did not confirm the existence of extraterrestrial life, it did state that sightings of unknown craft are taken seriously as a national security threat by the US military.

Last week, NASA announced the formation of a team to investigate the mysterious sightings. From a scientific standpoint, researchers will collect data on "events in the sky that cannot be identified as aircraft or known natural phenomena."
