Hillary Clinton says that aliens may have already visited humanity.

"I think we may have been [visited already]. We don't know for sure," the Democratic presidential front-runner told The Conway Daily Sun during a campaign stop in New Hampshire last week.

Her comment came after being asked about her husband Bill Clinton's comments during an appearance on late-night show "Jimmy Kimmel Live" in 2014, when he suggested that extraterrestrial life could exist.

"I just hope it's not like 'Independence Day,'" said Clinton, referring to the film where aliens attack earth.

Hillary Clinton told a Sun reporter that she would "get to the bottom" of UFOs. The reporter said the two spoke before, in 2007, when Hillary Clinton said the top open-records request her husband receive at his library involved UFOs.

She also noted that campaign chairman John Podesta, who served as White House chief of staff under Bill Clinton and in Barack Obama's White House, is a major fan of UFO theories.

"He has made me personally pledge we are going to get the information out," Clinton said. "One way or another. Maybe we could have, like, a task force to go to Area 51."

Aww, you can't embed Youtube videos? I was totally going to stick the X-Files theme here.

And they tried to paint Al Gore as a looney for talking about global warming? Speculating about aliens is irrelevant and has no place in her job description.  I know some dumb interviewer brought it up, but she should have redirected immediately and gone on to unemployment, terrorism, or the economy.  I hope I can force this memory out of my brain when she becomes president.

Trying to broaden her base by appealing to conspiracy theorists? That'll get her elected. If husband Bill didn't find out anything after 8 years in the White House, makes me think she isn't serious.

I'm such a bad person, but when it says getting to bottom of UFOs, I think getting to the bottom of aliens.. which leads me to think of..

You're worried about aliens blowing up L.A. with some fancy death ray? You know what's really blowing up L.A., Mike (Wallace)? Handguns. Also, racial profiling, police injustice and poverty. O_o

Still not as sexy, but there are lots of fun ways to make a point.

Hillary is not that far off. It has happened before, so...

Are you absolutely sure that's such a bad idea? I mean, at least UFO conspiracists are benign. If it get's her a few votes, it may be a smart thing to say. You might be surprised how may people actually believe in extraterrestrial conspiracies.

Not good.  Republicans already think that Democrats are reptilian aliens ... it would energize their base if proof was provided ;-)

But no, I can't believe she said this!  And I can't believe that anyone who ran for office and said this, wouldn't have to immediately cancel their stupid campaign ;-(

Too bad Nimoy is gone ... this could have provided several episodes of "Ancient Politicians" ;-)

OK, it was on the Jimmy Kimmel show, where people joke around, plus it was well over a year ago.

Thank God!  At least I can fiddle with the context, and chalk it up to just being silly.

OH! I overlooked that part! That shed's a whole new light on it...
