Government Officials on UAP and NHI

A collection of public testimonies regarding unidentified aerial phenomena and extraterrestrial encounters.

Brig. General Blaine Holt, USAF
2025
“I absolutely do not refute that there are extraterrestrials and that more will be coming out”

— Brig. General Blaine Holt, USAF

Jay Stratton, Former Director of US DoD UAP Task Force
2025
“I have seen with my own eyes non-human craft, and non-human beings”

— Jay Stratton, Fmr. Director of US DoD UAP Task Force

Luis Elizondo, Former DoD Intelligence Officer & Head of AATIP
2024
“UAP are real. Advanced technologies not made by our Government – or any other government – are monitoring sensitive military installations around the globe. Furthermore, the U.S. is in possession of UAP technologies, as are some of our adversaries. I believe we are in the midst of a multi-decade, secretive arms race – one funded by misallocated taxpayer dollars and hidden from our elected representatives and oversight bodies.”

— Luis Elizondo, Fmr. DoD Intelligence Officer & Head of AATIP (Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program)

Adm. Tim Gallaudet, US Navy Rear Admiral and head of NOAA
2023, 2024
“The fact that unidentified objects with unexplainable characteristics are entering US water space and the DOD is not raising a giant red flag is a sign that the government is not sharing all it knows about all-domain anomalous phenomena.”
“We’re being visited by non-human intelligence with technology we really don’t understand and with intentions we don’t understand either.”

— Adm. Tim Gallaudet, US Navy Rear Admiral and head of NOAA

Col Karl Nell
2023, 2024
“Non-human intelligence exists. Non-human intelligence has been interacting with humanity. This interaction is not new and has been ongoing.”
“His [Grusch] assertion concerning the existence of a terrestrial arms race occurring sub-rosa over the past eighty years focused on reverse engineering technologies of unknown origin is fundamentally correct, as is the indisputable realization that at least some of these technologies of unknown origin derive from non-human intelligence.”

— Col Karl Nell

Dr. James Lacatski, Former Head of AAWSAP
2023
“[…] the United States was in possession of a craft of unknown origin and had successfully gained access to its interior. […] This craft had a streamlined configuration suitable for aerodynamic flight but no intakes, exhaust, wings, or control surfaces. In fact, it appeared not to have an engine, fuel tanks, or fuel.”

— Dr. James Lacatski, Fmr. Head of AAWSAP (Advanced Aerospace Weapon Systems Applications Program)

David Grusch, USAF Intelligence Officer
2023
“I was informed in the course of my official duties of a multi-decade UAP crash retrieval and reverse engineering program to which I was denied access.”

— David Grusch, USAF Intelligence Officer – testimony to Congress

Senator Marco Rubio
2023
“Advanced objects demonstrating advanced technology are routinely flying over our restricted or sensitive airspace posing a risk to both flight safety & national security.”

— Senator Marco Rubio

Senator Marco Rubio
2023 & 2021
“Advanced objects demonstrating advanced technology are routinely flying over our restricted or sensitive airspace posing a risk to both flight safety & national security.”
“We have things flying over our military bases and places where we’re conducting military exercises and we don’t know what it is and it isn’t ours…”

— Sen. Marco Rubio, US Senator & Member of “Gang of 8”

Ryan Graves, Former Lt. US Navy & F/A-18F Pilot
2023
“I have witnessed advanced UAP on multiple sensor systems firsthand, and I’m here to voice the concerns of countless commercial aircrew and military veterans who have confided their similar encounters with me. I can tell you that advanced UAP are a national security and an aviation safety problem.”

— Ryan Graves, Fmr. Lt. US Navy & F/A-18F Pilot – testimony to Congress

John Ratcliffe, Former CIA Director
2021
“Usually we have multiple sensors that are picking up these things… Frankly, there are a lot more sightings than have been made public. Some of those have been declassified. And when we talk about sightings, we are talking about objects that have been seen by Navy or Air Force pilots, or have been picked up by satellite imagery, that frankly engage in actions that are difficult to explain, movements that are hard to replicate, that we don’t have the technology for, or traveling at speeds that exceed the sound barrier without a sonic boom… Technologies that we don’t have and, frankly, that we are not capable of defending against.”

— John Ratcliffe, Director of CIA, Fmr. Director of National Intelligence for CIA

Col. Philip Corso
1998
“Let there be no doubt. Alien technology harvested from the infamous saucer crash in Roswell, N.Mex., in July 1947 led directly to the development of the integrated circuit chip, laser and fibre optic technologies, particle beams, electromagnetic propulsion systems, depleted uranium projectiles, stealth capabilities, and many others. How do I know? I was in charge! I think the kids on this planet are wise to the truth, and I think we ought to give it to them. I think they deserve it.”

— Col. Philip Corso, Former head of the Foreign Technology Desk for United States Army Research and Development, National Security Council member, Eisenhower Administration.

Ben Rich, former Head of Lockheed’s Skunk Works
1995
“We already have the means to travel among the stars, but these technologies are locked up in black projects and it would take an act of God to ever get them out to benefit humanity… anything you can imagine we already know how to do.”

— Ben Rich, former Head of Lockheed’s Skunk Works

Adm. Roscoe Hillenkoetter, 1st CIA Director
1960
“Unknown objects are operating under intelligent control… It is imperative that we learn where UFOs come from and what their purpose is…”
“Behind the scenes, high-ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about the UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe that unknown flying objects are nonsense.”

— Adm. Roscoe Hillenkoetter, 1st CIA Director

Marine Corps Major Donald E. Keyhoe
1958
“The Air Force had put out a secret order for its pilots to capture UFOs. For the last six months we have been working with a congressional committee investigating official secrecy concerning proof that UFOs are real machines under intelligent control.”

— Marine Corps Major Donald E. Keyhoe

Rear Admiral Delmar Fahrney, USNR
1956
“Unidentified Flying Objects are entering our atmosphere at very high speeds and obviously under intelligent control. We must solve this riddle without delay.”

— Rear Admiral Delmar Fahrney, USNR

General Douglas MacArthur
1955
“You now face a new world, a world of change. We speak in strange terms, of harnessing the cosmic energy, of ultimate conflict between a united human race and the sinister forces of some other planetary galaxy. The nations of the world will have to unite, for the next war will be an interplanetary war. The nations of the earth must someday make a common front against attack by people from other planets.”

— General Douglas MacArthur

Air Chief Marshal Lord Hugh Dowding
1954
“Of course UFOs are real, and they are interplanetary. The cumulative evidence for the existence of UFOs is quite overwhelming and I accept the fact of their existence.”

— Air Chief Marshal Lord Hugh Dowding, Commanding Officer of the Royal Air Force during WWII

General Nathan Twining
1947
“This ‘flying saucer’ situation is not at all imaginary or seeing too much in some natural phenomena. Something is really flying around. The phenomenon is something real and not visionary or fictitious.”

— General Nathan Twining, US Air Force, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff 1955-1958
