The Truth About Aliens - Avi Loeb

Added: 2026-05-26

[00:00:00]In the recent UAP file releases and briefings, there's been recurring claims of four distinct types of extraterrestrial beings. You know that they're being called the gray Nordics, I think, reptilians and insecttoids.

[00:00:15]On your perspective, you know, if you're a scientist, one of the world's most renowned scientists on the search for for life out there, what do you make of these of these four types? So uh I I'll give you an anecdote. Um a year ago uh I um was invited to speak in front of the US Congress and uh the day before that I went to the oil domain anomaly resolution office uh in the Pentagon. uh and I met with the director John Koslosski and his team and I asked them explicitly do you have access to all documents all materials within government and they said yes they have the classification and then I asked them did you see anything unusual and they said well everything that we looked at it was either lowquality data that we couldn't interpret or uh it looked like uh it's humanmade. Uh there is nothing spectacular except for some FBI reports they said that uh are not supplemented with uh data from instruments and in fact we saw some FBI reports in the release from May 8th that talk about an unusual object. So that's interesting. And then a day later I met um with members of Congress, but next to me was Eric Davis uh who argued that there are four types of aliens that were biological pilots that were found in crash sites to which the US government has access. And uh and so that was just a day later. And so I you know I asked my wife who should I believe you know that they're saying very different things, right?

[00:02:05]And I still cannot tell who to believe because I haven't witnessed the the evidence for that. So people can tell me stories that are not real. I mean we all know that when there is a a car crash, different people report differently about it. And uh also when you know there is a soccer match, the the referees usually rely on video cameras, not on what people tell them. So, so it's really difficult for me to assess whether there is any truth behind the stories that the US government retrieved from crash sites either spacecraft, alien spacecraft or biological pilots that were there and and unless I I see it, you know, unless someone shows it to me and so far nobody did. Um and u so at the moment uh I'm completely agnostic and not willing to believe those stories but not rejecting them because maybe there is something to them and uh if there will be an attempt by the US government to share such information with scientists I will be delighted even if they ask me to sign a non-disclosure agreement I'll be delighted to to work on that because I just want to know the answer. Is there some do we have a neighbor? You know, and I don't it's it's not as if I'm I want to show off when I know the answer and and and inform the world. I just want to know it myself first. And if they if they show it to me and and sign me on an NDA, then that's fine. um you know it's just the most thrilling discovery that um humanity would ever make because uh right now in textbooks on cosmology including my textbooks I wrote three of them uh the universe is portrayed as a cold and lonely place full of matter and radiation but uh if we do find that we have a neighbor it will change our approach to it we will feel an emotional connection. If the neighbor is far more in accomplished because they reached our backyard before we reached theirs, uh then we will be inspired to explore space and we will learn new science and technology probably from them and uh altogether it it would be a huge leap forward and also we'll change our focus from uh conflicts on this planet earth uh to something much more inspiring. You know, I think that's one reason why the public is so excited about it because it takes your mind away from the troubles of the daily news when we read the things here on earth appear to be quite depressing, you know, and um I think that an encounter will bring humanity to a better place. That's why I think it will have a huge impact on society. There aren't many subject in science that can have even a remotely a similar impact. I mean discovering that we are at the center uh that that we are not at the center of the universe was not uh so impactful. I mean it basically changed some religious or philosophical narratives but but discovering that there is someone more intelligent than we are or more accomplished technologically would be a huge shift in the way we perceive ourselves. It will bring a a sense of humility to our life which is very much needed. Uh we are probably not at the top of the food chain cosmologically speaking. It does catch a lot of of headlines and of course a lot of you know excitement but at the same time why would a Nordic type of alien interact with a reptilian one. So it's very confusing to >> I have another um way of interpreting those claims. Um, I'm sure the US government, like any other government, has a program to retrieve materials from crash sites because it's one way to learn about the technologies of adversarial nations. If we recover an airplane manufactured by Russia or China, we can learn what kind of equipment they're using, what kind of technologies. So obviously we would be very interested in crash sites of such airplanes, right? So uh there must be a program for retrieval and reverse engineering of uh equipment that is uh found in crash sites and uh in the process of doing so obviously you'll find also pilots belonging to different nations and there would be you know that the pilots that are coming from China are very different than pilots from Russia in the way that so when you talk about four types you can talk about you know four ethnic origins of humans that may may service the pilots on on on on humanmade airplanes. Um and now um why would it be associated with aliens?

[00:07:13]Simply because we you know the US doesn't want uh other nations to be aware of what the US found. So they will give it a label aliens and uh talk about different types of pilots in reference to different countries of origin. And uh when they say these are alien craft uh you know they they just mean to hide the identity uh or or what the US actually knows. And then when someone within government hears that they would say oh amazing not only we found some craft alien craft but there are also p biological pilots there. So I can imagine a program that is aimed at adversarial nations and recovered craft and the pilots from humanmade technologies here on earth and uh was you know in order to misinform those countries the label alien was attached and then some people within government got confused. I I can imagine that scenario. That would sound to me more plausible. But who knows? If such bodies exist, I would like to see them.
