The existence of UFOs has long been an ongoing debate and marked with scepticism, but you may want to hear what this whistleblower has to claim about the US government's knowledge regarding this phenomenon.
A recent Capitol Hill hearing is what has rekindled talks around Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) and the potential of extraterrestrial life.
In the UAP briefing in May, physicist Dr Eric Davis - who is well known for working on top-secret Pentagon projects - captured listeners' attention by claiming there are four different types of aliens that have a possibility of being operators of unidentified crafts.
The four distinct alien types he claims are 'Grays, Nordics, Insectoids, and Reptilians'.

So, what are the distinct differences between each of these claimed alien types? I’m glad you asked.
The idea of Grays took popularity in the mid-1960s, mainly due to the famous abduction case of Betty and Barney Hill. The couple said the abduction was performed by small humanoids with smooth grey skin, large black almond-shaped eyes, and had a lack of typical human features like noses or ears.
Nordics, on the other hand, are described as tall, slender beings, similar to Scandinavian humans, with blonde hair, blue eyes, and light skin.
Insectoids, as the name suggests, are described as having more insect-like traits like multiple limbs, exoskeletons, mandibles, and sometimes antennae.
Lastly, the Reptilian theory - this was popular in the late 20th century through conspiracy theorist David Icke and claims shape-shifting reptilian aliens.
Missouri Representative Eric Burlison, a member of the House Oversight Committee and UAP caucus, shared on The Endless Void with Kristin Fisher that he had heard these same four classifications in private discussions.
“I've heard those four classifications discussed in meetings in this office by others,” Burlison said. “But what I wasn't expecting was for him to say it. I wasn't expecting Eric Davis, you know, respected scientists, to say that.”
However, a self-claimed sceptic, Burlison admitted that he was uncertain about Davis’ sources.
He noted that the physicist's comments may come from firsthand knowledge or secondhand reports, indicating uncertainty, saying: "If true, this would be a paradigm-shifting moment. But if it is true, the government has no right to keep such a secret from the public it serves."
However, he is aware that the acknowledgement of there being a possibility of aliens could invite more scepticism.
"Some will think we're nuts," Burlison acknowledged. But he defended the investigation, stating that taxpayers help to fund Pentagon, intelligence, and energy department programs studying UAPs.
"I owe it to the American people to get to the bottom of this," he said.
