Is the US government secretly holding alien bodies? Here's what former Pentagon UFO scientist claims
Astrophysicist Eric Davis claims he has seen classified evidence of four alleged alien species recovered from crashed UFOs.
A former consultant to the Pentagon's UFO research programme has claimed that the US government possesses the bodies of four alleged alien species recovered from crashed unidentified flying objects. Dr Eric Davis said on NewsNation's Katie Pavlich Tonight that he had personally viewed classified photographs and government records during decades of work on advanced aerospace and UAP-related projects.
He alleged the remains are stored in highly classified facilities and that some locations changed during the Obama administration. He did not present documentary evidence to support the assertions.
No evidence supporting these claims has been publicly released, and the US government continues to deny possessing proof of extraterrestrial life.
What did Eric Davis claim?
According to Davis, the alleged species are the Grays, Nordics, Insectoids, and Reptilians.
“I investigated unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) for 30 years. There's a minimum of four that we know of. I've seen the evidence, I've seen the records,” Davis said during the interview.
He also described that the Grays resemble the aliens depicted in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. He said the Nordics appeared similar to tall blond Scandinavians, while the Insectoids and Reptilians had distinct non-human features.
Davis also claimed that the classified records he reviewed were of dead extraterrestrial bodies recovered from crashed craft. He added, “I've heard that David Grusch had mentioned that there was one that he knew of that had been captured alive but I don't know anything else.”
The astrophysicist stated that many of the documents remain exempt from public disclosure because they have been classified for decades. He said they are not accessible through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
“I’ve seen classified and proprietary defense intelligence industry evidence. Evidence that the American public and the world have a right to see,” Davis said in a video shared on X.
Davis also urged President Donald Trump to grant immunity to UAP whistleblowers by waiving certain non-disclosure agreements, arguing that the public deserves access to the information.
He said, “Mr President, with your signature, you could waive the SF-312 NDA [non-disclosure agreement] to protect UAP whistleblowers like myself. I respectfully request that you take swift and decisive action as the nature of UAP should not be kept deeply classified.”
Grusch, who has also worked for the Pentagon as an intelligence officer, has been one of the most outspoken government whistleblowers when it comes to UFOs and alien life. He has also asked for immunity from the president.
What has the Pentagon released so far?
Despite Davis' assertions, the White House, the Pentagon and the Department of Defense have consistently stated that no verified evidence of extraterrestrial life or recovered alien bodies has been found.
The Trump administration has released multiple batches of declassified UAP files, including videos of unexplained aerial objects. However, officials have said these materials do not constitute proof of extraterrestrial origin.
Davis criticised the pace of those disclosures. He claimed that the public has only seen what he called the "bottom of the barrel" and that additional photos and videos could be released without compromising national security. His claims remain unverified.
Grusch testified before Congress in 2023. He alleged that the US operated secret crash-retrieval programmes. He acknowledged that many of his allegations were based on interviews with other officials rather than evidence he could publicly present. Those claims also remain unproven.
