Default Bill Clinton said he's convinced that Roswell did not involve UFO's
On the radio last night, they played Bill Clinton, who claimed to have looked at the original papers in 1998, and concluded that Roswell was for real. . . .

I can personally vouch that I witnessed its local Italian restaurant, and was molested by by its hideous cuisine.

I was reading a few years ago how some American people claimed Bill Clinton was in fact a half-breed alien, most of the reasoning being the man was born 9 months after the Roswell incident. I assume the tinfoil heads think human-alien copulation can produce some kind of half breed creature President, either that or they have been smoking to much stuff while watching reruns of Xfiles.

Found it on youtube:

Clinton UFO Interest

sounds like he's just making a funny joke. I think if I was the president, I'd go inspect Area 51 for no other reason than, it'd be interesting to see the test aircraft.

You may be thinking of David Icke, who believes the world is controlled by lizard aliens from the constellation draco. They live in underground bases on Earth, and on the far side of the moon, and they've have replaced many world leaders with either robots, disguised versions of their own species, or human/alien hybrids. In order to disguise themselves as humans, they have to drink human blood. - and Icke has a website chock-full of supporters. There have been some great moon hoax threads over there.

Has anything changed since the interview cited in Wikipedia: Roswell UFO incident?

Quote:
In an interview on September 9, 2005, former President Bill Clinton downplayed his administration's interest in the Roswell incident. He said they did indeed look into it but believes it had a rational explanation and did not think it happened. However, he added the caveat that he could have been deceived by underlings or career bureaucrats. If that were the case, he said he would not be the first American president that had been lied to or had critical information concealed from him.
Sounds like he's still joking about it -- at the expense of the believers. Sometimes the ridiculous needs ridiculing.

So that explains the reason the current US presidential candidates are such a joke.

Wow. Something someone said about aliens taken out of context? I'm shocked--shocked!

Ditto to a politician saying something that was taken out of context.

I heard it on coasttocoastam last night. It's free streamlink week, so you can listen to it yourself. It's about 3:50 minutes into the first hour. However, as I listen to it again, it's clear I misheard the former president. I thought he said "I was convinced there was a UFO", but he actually said "I was convinced there wasn't a UFO". Sorry. False alarm.

Hey, I half asleep at the time.

He does say that scientists have recently discovered an Earth-like planet 20 million light-years away though!

It's not even the first time that a politician's words about UFOs were taken out of context in this presidential campaign.

According to a retired Secret Service guy that is one of my customers, It was Lamp and an Ashtray, the agents were unable to respond, due to incontinence and general laughing.....just like in the Roman Palace in "Life of Brian"....
