US researcher alleges four alien species recovered from UFO crash sites

Former CIA‑funded physicist Dr. Hal Puthoff said on Steve Bartlett’s “The Diary of a CEO” podcast that people involved in UFO recoveries have identified “at least four types” of extraterrestrial life. He cited his former colleague Dr. Eric Davis, who in 2025 named the categories as “Grays, Nordics, Insectoids and Reptilians,” describing each as humanoid with two arms and two legs.

Puthoff offered no direct access to the material, photographs, or scientific reports and provided no diagrams or documentation. The claim has not been substantiated by publicly available evidence, and officials have not confirmed any alien recoveries.
