They do this sort of thing every time they need more distractions for the public. This Epstein shit is obviously getting too close for comfort, so they need to roll out Obama and have him say the thing that is usually reserved for "anonymous top US generals." Notice he never actually confirms anything, or gives any specific evidence, it's just the standard "Some people say they see weird lights in the sky, maybe there's something to that, think about that, not about what the US government is doing."
