Crashed UFOs recovered by America contained multiple forms of alien life, according to a bombshell claim.

It comes from ex-CIA-funded researcher Dr. Hal Puthoff, who said “at least four” different extraterrestrial species have been discovered in wreckage collected by the US.

The comments came during an appearance on “The Diary of a CEO” podcast alongside filmmaker Dan Farah, whose documentary “Age of Disclosure” explores claims surrounding unidentified aerial phenomena.

Dr Puthoff, 89, is a former adviser to the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program and has long been connected to investigations into UFOs and advanced aerospace technology.

Speaking on the podcast, he said: “People who have been involved in recoveries have said there are at least four separate types. I have not had direct access to that, but I believe the people I talked to.”

To confirm, no physical evidence has been submitted to back up any of the claims.

As NASA says: "We have not yet discovered life on any other planet, and we have not seen any scientifically supported evidence for extraterrestrial life.

"But if we think about life on this planet, beyond the big things — the elephants, the whales, redwoods trees –– and focus on the tiny things, nearly everywhere on Earth that we’ve looked, we’ve found microbial life.

"We can’t yet say for sure whether or not aliens exist. To quote Carl Sagan: 'The universe is a pretty big place. If it’s just us, it seems like an awful waste of space.' So, NASA will keep looking."

The latest claims come after former Air Force intelligence officer David Grusch told Congress in 2023 that the US government possessed “non-human biologics” allegedly recovered from UFO crash sites.

Grusch’s testimony sparked global debate over whether secret retrieval programmes examining unidentified craft could exist within the US military and intelligence apparatus.

Farah, whose documentary premiered earlier this year, claimed he had privately spoken with people allegedly connected to recovery operations but said many were too frightened to speak publicly.

He recalled one source backing out of an interview at the last moment, saying they feared participating would “forfeit” their life.

No hard evidence supporting the existence of extraterrestrial beings or recovered alien craft has ever been publicly produced, and the claims remain highly controversial.
