“I would ask him again,” Biden told Fox News White House reporter Peter Doocy during his joint press conference with South Korea President Moon Jae-in on Friday.

Biden had joked he would only take Doocy’s question if it was not a “mean” inquiry like his “usually” were.

Obama was asked about video and images of unidentified objects taken by U.S. Navy and Air Force pilots or via satellites in an interview this week with CBS’s The Late Late Show with James Corden.

“What is true, and I’m actually being serious here, is that there is footage and records of objects in the skies that we don’t know exactly what they are,” Obama said.

“We can’t explain how they move, their trajectory,” he added. “They did not have an easily explainable pattern. And so, I think that people still take seriously, trying to investigate and figure out what that is.”

Obama’s remarks are the latest federal government acknowledgment of the aerial phenomena after former President Donald Trump’s Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe spoke about it with Fox News’s Maria Bartiromo in March.

Interest in the unidentified objects is piquing before the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and Secretary of Defense provide Congress’s intelligence and armed services committees with an unclassified report on the issue next month. The report is expected to include data and other information from the Office of Naval Intelligence, the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force, and the FBI.

Moon’s visit was Biden’s second in-person bilateral meeting at the White House since becoming president. The pair’s talks focused on North Korea, with Biden telling reporters he and Moon were “deeply concerned about the situation.”

“We’re under no illusions how difficult this is. None whatsoever,” Biden said of his goal of denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula. “The past four administrations have not achieved the objective.”
