UFO controversy reignites after former CIA-linked researcher claims US has acquired several extraterrestrial species | Today’s news
A former CIA-funded researcher has sparked fresh controversy after claiming the United States may have recovered four distinct alien species from crashed UFOs.
Hal Puthoff, a physicist and former adviser to the US government’s Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program, made the remarks during an appearance on The Diary of a CEO podcast hosted by Steven Bartlett alongside filmmaker Dan Farah.
“People involved in enforcement said there were at least four types. Four separate types,” Puthoff said during the interview.
“Now I haven’t had direct access to it, but I believe the people I’ve talked to – four different types of life,” he added.
Claims revive UFO crash debate
The comments reignited long-running debates about alleged secret UFO-hunting programs and whether governments have secretly met with non-human intelligence.
The latest claims follow explosive testimony before the US Congress in 2023 by former Air Force intelligence officer David Grusch, who claimed the US government was in possession of “non-human biological agents” recovered from unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) from crash sites.
Puthoff did not provide evidence or detailed descriptions of the alleged alien species.
However, his long-time associate Eric Davis reportedly claimed in earlier discussions that the creatures found were described in intelligence reports as “gray”, “Nordic”, “insect-like” and “reptilian”.
According to Davis, all of the alleged beings had humanoid features, including two arms and two legs.
Who is Hal Puthoff?
Puthoff is a Stanford-educated quantum physicist known for his work in paranormal research, remote viewing, and UAP investigations.
Over the years, he allegedly worked with or advised agencies including the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency.
He also served as chief scientific advisor to aerospace entrepreneur Robert Bigelow and Bigelow Aerospace, a company connected to government-funded UFO research efforts.
The document focuses on the alleged cover-up
Farah, director of the documentary The Age of Disclosure, said the project includes interviews with military officials, intelligence figures and political leaders who discuss alleged meetings with the UAP and government secrecy.
According to promotional material surrounding the documentary, participants discuss:
-Alleged cover-up of non-human intelligence services by the US government since the 1940s
-Claims that a crashed UAP craft was found with “inhuman bodies” inside
– Supposed secret “Legacy Program” operating outside of Congressional oversight
-Reports of UAPs appearing near US nuclear facilities
-Alleged covert competition between the US, China and Russia to reverse engineer unidentified vessels
The documentary reportedly includes appearances by senior US officials, military personnel and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
No public evidence was presented
Despite decades of speculation surrounding UFOs and extraterrestrial life, no verified public evidence has emerged proving the existence of extraterrestrial beings or recovered spacecraft.
US government agencies have admitted to investigating the unexplained aerial phenomena, but officials have repeatedly said there is no confirmed evidence linking the sightings to extraterrestrial origin.
The claims of Puthoff and others remain unverified.
