Aliens, The Presidents, and The Letters They Never Saw

Plain Meaning | The Probability, The Presidents, and The Letters They Never Saw Are we alone? For most of human history, that question belonged to philosophers and theologians. Now it belongs to mathematicians, astrophysicists — and presidents. In 1961, astronomer Frank Drake introduced an equation that reframed the mystery of life in the universe as a matter of probability. Since then, we’ve discovered thousands of exoplanets. NASA now estimates there may be hundreds of billions in our galaxy alone. Life on Earth has proven shockingly resilient — thriving in boiling vents, frozen rock, and extreme radiation. Statistically speaking, the idea that we are alone is becoming harder to defend. But this episode goes further. Two presidents — Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton — openly pursued answers about UFOs and extraterrestrial life. Carter filed an official sighting report before becoming president. Clinton sent advisers to investigate classified sites. Both publicly admitted they ran into limits. Then there’s Barack Obama — who has said plainly that alien life likely exists somewhere in the universe… but claimed he found no evidence of government cover-ups while in office. Which raises a deeper question: If presidents are curious — even concerned — what do they actually get to see? In this episode, I share a personal story from my time working in the White House Office of Presidential Correspondence. I saw the letters. Thousands of them. Serious citizens writing about UFO encounters. Reports. Questions. Requests for answers. And I recount a story told to me by senior staff about President Obama personally asking what happened to those letters. The room laughed. He didn’t. This isn’t about conspiracy theories. It’s about probability. It’s about power. And it’s about what even the President of the United States may not be told. If the universe is this large… If life is this statistically likely… And if presidents themselves are asking questions… Then what happens when we finally have to accept the answer?
