As Russia’s PM Medvedev jokes about aliens, it makes you wonder if there was any truth involved

It’s said that most jokes made by politicians have a touch of reality hidden beneath. Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedec told a whopper of a joke on air the other day and the details have some questioning whether the references weren’t at least partially factual.

At first, he gives a detailed explanation of how Russian Presidents exchange the top secret documents at the changing of the guard. One folder included is devoted to “the strangers who visited our planet.”

It is enthralling and to those who believe in aliens living among us, it might seem completely plausible. Then, he delivers the punchline about the documentary where people can get more details.

Watch the video. Was it all a joke or is there some truth hidden beneath?
