Claims about hidden programs are again drawing attention from people who follow unexplained aerial sightings. The evidence remains outside public view, leaving the story disputed and unresolved.
Dr. Hal Puthoff, a former CIA-funded researcher tied to past Pentagon UFO work, has claimed that people involved in alleged crash recoveries described four different kinds of non-human life.
According to Fox News, Puthoff made the claim on “The Diary of a CEO” podcast during a discussion with filmmaker Dan Farah.
The claim arrives as public interest in UFO investigations has increased following congressional hearings and new government document releases.
Points to insiders
“People who have been involved in recoveries have said there are at least four types. Four separate types,” Puthoff said. “Now I have not had direct access to that but I believe the people who I talked to — four separate types of life.”
The Daily Express writes that no physical proof has been presented to support the allegation.
NASA’s position remains far more restrained. The agency has said researchers have not confirmed life beyond Earth.
“We have not yet discovered life on any other planet, and we have not seen any scientifically supported evidence for extraterrestrial life,” NASA said, according to the British newspaper.
The claim also echoes 2023 testimony from former Air Force intelligence officer David Grusch, who told Congress the US had recovered “non-human biologics” from alleged crash sites.
Familiar UFO labels
The New York Post reported that Dr. Eric Davis, who worked with Puthoff on a Pentagon-linked UFO research program, previously associated the alleged beings with names often used in UFO circles: Grays, Nordics, Insectoids and Reptilians.
Those labels are not scientific classifications. They are disputed descriptions circulating among UFO researchers and believers.
Farah said some people he contacted for his film backed away from speaking publicly about alleged retrieval programs.
“One I thought was going to do an interview and then a couple days before sent me a message saying ‘After further consideration and long talks with my wife, I decided I’d be forfeiting my life if I participated in your interview,’” Farah said.
The renewed attention has not changed the central issue: Puthoff’s claim is striking, but the public has still not been shown evidence that would allow scientists, officials, or independent investigators to test it.
