THE CLINTON FILES I sent agents to see if there were ALIENS at Area 51 & scientists tell me we are NOT alone, says Bill Clinton
BILL Clinton admitted he sent agents to Area 51 as he wanted to know if there were aliens on the base.
The former United States president also revealed scientists told him they are up to 95 percent sure humanity is not alone in the universe.
Bill Clinton, 75, was speaking about the traditionally fringe topic on The Late Late Show as discussions around UFOs take center stage in Washington DC.
Strange phenomena in the sky were once the realm of conspiracy theorists, but now US lawmakers and intelligence officials are taking the topic seriously as a national security concern.
US officials have admitted there are objects in the sky which they do not understand - which are now more commonly called Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP).
When Late Late Show bandleader Reggie Watts asked about the topic, the audience laughed, only for Bill to turn to them and say: "That's a legitimate question now."

He then went on to tell a story about a visit he and his wife Hillary made to the WM Keck Observatory in Hawaii.
The double telescopes - Keck 1 and Keck 2 - are two of the biggest in the world and search the skies for any sign of life in outer space.
Clinton toured the facility and asked the scientists about the possibility of extraterrestrials out there somewhere in the universe.
He said the scientists said they had "huge arguments" - but the dispute is between those who believe it is "85 percent" likely, and those who think it is "95 percent" sure.
They told him it's "very unlikely" that there is no life somewhere else in the massive universe other than on Earth.
"These are people who spend their lives doing this," Bill told Corden.
