It is speculated that LeBron James and Barack Obama went on a UFO search once. Read on as we explore the wild rumor here
Did LeBron James and Barack Obama chase UFOs in the forest?
Back in July 2023, the US Congress held a public hearing about the government supposedly hiding a secret program on UFOs. Three retired military veterans spoke about decades-old UFO crash retrieval and reverse engineering. Apparently, Grusch, who worked with the National Reconnaissance Office made claims that he was aware of it but was denied access. He also hinted that the US might have known about extra-terrestrial activities since the 1930s.
Congressman Tim Burchett backed the idea of a cover-up. However, the Pentagon refuted it saying that there’s no proof of any extraterrestrial materials program.
A few days later in August 2023, a hilarious picture of Los Angeles Lakers legend LeBron James and 44th U.S. President, Barack Obama supposedly trying to find the hidden UFO went viral. The pair’s picture came at a time when the chaos over the UFOs was at its peak to add a touch of humor to the ruckus.
Nevertheless, it was all a creation of AI. A satirical account called Buttcrack Sports reposted it, and NBA fans on X (formerly Twitter) went wild.
Fans started trolling the work of AI. «LeBama,» «LeUFO,» «LeDoraTheExplorer» and «LeDroneStrike» were some of the hilarious responses.
Few people were also marveling at how good AI art has become.
The AI-generated picture of LeBron James and Barack Obama was made by designer and digital artist Derick David.
