(The National Pulse)—Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, has stated that she believes extraterrestrial life exists. However, she emphasized the need to tread carefully when discussing classified intelligence. Gabbard made the comments during an appearance on the Pod Force One podcast hosted by Miranda Devine.
When asked directly if she believes in aliens, Gabbard replied, “I have my own views and opinions. In this role, I have to be careful with what I share.” She later confirmed her personal belief in the existence of extraterrestrials and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), also referred to as unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs).
UFOs and UAPs have been a subject of speculation and investigation for decades. Last year, the House Oversight Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs held multiple hearings on the matter. Lawmakers from both parties have expressed interest in increasing transparency and declassifying information regarding UAPs.
Gabbard noted that while her office does not currently have concrete evidence that is ready to be disclosed, she remains committed to transparency. “We’re continuing to look for the truth and share that truth with the American people,” she said. She also mentioned unresolved questions regarding sightings of drones over New Jersey and other parts of the country, stating, “I just personally still have a lot of questions that are unanswered.”
The issue has gained additional attention following incidents like the Chinese spy balloon that traversed U.S. airspace in 2023. Gabbard confirmed the intelligence community holds classified information on the matter but declined to elaborate further. The balloon was eventually shot down, but the delay in action drew criticism of the Biden government’s handling of the situation.
