Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard revealed she believes aliens may exist but wouldn’t share any details about what the government knows when appearing on Miranda Devine’s “Pod Force One” podcast.

Gabbard, who oversees coordination among the 18 US intelligence agencies, was asked during the recent interview whether “there could be aliens” and begrudgingly replied, “I have my own views and opinions.

“In this role, I have to be careful with what I share,” she said — before adding, “Yes,” when pressed about whether she believes in the possibility of extraterrestrials and UFOs.

The DNI noted that while she has nothing she is “prepared to talk about” regarding the issue, her team will be transparent with the public when the time comes.

“We’re continuing to look for the truth and share that truth with the American people,” she said.

Multiple lawmakers in Congress are probing what the government knows about unidentified anomalous phenomena UPAs — aka UFOs. Last year, a House Oversight Subcommittee held multiple hearings on the topic.

Gabbard said she also still has unanswered questions about the flurry of drones spotted zipping over New Jersey residents’ homes last year, a phenomenon that sparked a national uproar.

Officials from both the Trump and Biden administrations were adamant that the objects were actually a “combination” of lawful personal, professional and government aircraft.

“I still have a lot of questions around that,” Gabbard acknowledged to Devine. “I’ve heard what the public official line is.

New Jersey faced a frenzy last year after a flurry of drone sightings.

“I just personally still have a lot of questions that are unanswered, because it wasn’t just New Jersey. It was happening in different parts of the country.”

Skeptics had alleged that sightings of satellites, planes and in some cases even stars were lumped into the drone frenzy.

But Gabbard said the US intelligence community at least has a lot of solid information on the suspected Chinese spy balloon that floated across US airspace for about a week in 2023.

“There’s a lot of classified information about that,” she said, declining to further elaborate.

President Joe Biden eventually ordered the balloon to be shot down over the Carolina coast, a move that many, including former President Donald Trump, criticized because they said it should have been done sooner.

Biden later publicly claimed the fact that the high-altitude Chinese device was discovered over the US “was more embarrassing than it was intentional.

“I don’t think the [Chinese] leadership knew where it was and knew what was in it and knew what was going on,” he told reporters later that year.
