White House: No evidence of aliens on Earth

But it must be true - I saw it on the Internet!

Some headlines we don't have to make up.

The White House - yes, the one where President Barack Obama lives in Washington, D.C. - has officially announced, in effect, that Area 51, the X-Files, Roswell and other stories about aliens interacting with humans are, well, made up.

As quoted by the Associated Press:

 “The U.S. government has no evidence that any life exists outside our planet, or that an extraterrestrial presence has contacted or engaged any member of the human race,” the Obama administration said in a statement. “In addition, there is no credible information to suggest that any evidence is being hidden from the public’s eye.” 

“The fact is we have no credible evidence of extraterrestrial presence here on Earth,” according to the statement posted to the White House website and attributed to Phil Larson, a research assistant at the Office of Science and Technology Policy.
