On August 11, 2025, a former U.S. intelligence official and UFO whistleblower, Dr. Eric Davis, made headlines by claiming during a Capitol Hill briefing that the U.S. government is aware of four distinct types of extraterrestrial beings: “Grays,” “Nordics,” “Insectoids,” and “Reptilians.”
The testimony, reported by the Daily Mail, has reignited public and political interest in unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), with social media platforms like X buzzing with reactions to the claims.
While Davis’s statements have fueled speculation, they remain unverified as the information remains top secret and unclassified information.
However, the statements are calling for greater transparency from lawmakers.
Davis, a physicist and former consultant for the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), detailed the alleged alien types during a closed-door briefing with congressional staff.
According to posts on X, including one from @Other_Worlders, Davis described “Grays” as small, gray-skinned beings with large heads, commonly associated with UFO lore; “Nordics” as tall, humanoid figures with fair features; “Insectoids” as insect-like entities; and “Reptilians” as shape-shifting, reptilian beings, a concept popularized by conspiracy theorist David Icke.
The Daily Mail noted that similar reptilian figures appear in ancient South and Southeast Asian myths, such as the Nāga, though due to the secretive nature, no current or modern evidence supports their existence as reported on Newsbreak.
The Push for Declassification Grows
The briefing, organized to push for declassification of UAP-related information, follows a series of high-profile congressional hearings on the topic.
In July 2023, former intelligence official David Grusch testified before Congress, claiming the U.S. had recovered “non-human biologics” from crash sites, a term he used to avoid saying “alien,” as reported by Yahoo News.
Davis’s recent claims build on this narrative, alleging a secret Pentagon program has been tracking UAPs and extraterrestrial entities for decades.
A separate whistleblower, Matthew Brown, echoed these assertions, telling the Daily Mail about a covert program monitoring alien-like objects, though the Pentagon has for protective reasons consistently denied such claims.
In a recent Luis Elizondo interview from NewsNation, a former Pentagon UAP investigator, said he could not comment on the 4 types of alien biologics.
Despite holding back, Elizondo previously stated on CNN that he believes these unidentified aircraft may be controlled or piloted by biologics that are ‘non-human’ beings, stating “We may not be alone, whatever that means.”
Public Reaction and Comments

Reactions on X reflect a polarized public response.
User @SomewhereSkies shared a link to the Daily Mail article, calling it a “bombshell” for UFO enthusiasts, while @DennisKoch10 emphasized the four alien types, sparking intrigue among followers.
Conversely, skeptics like @citizenpsych dismissed the claims as “unsubstantiated,” urging for concrete evidence, though top secret information as such is not easily obtained.
The lack of declassified documents or physical proof has fueled demands for transparency, with lawmakers reportedly pressing the Pentagon to release more information, as noted by Smithsonian Magazine.
Davis’s testimony aligns with a broader surge in UAP interest, driven by recent whistleblower accounts.
NewsNation reported on a former helicopter pilot who claimed involvement in a UFO retrieval program, while the Daily Mail covered other allegations, including a former NASA engineer’s claim of “trillions” of cloaked alien devices and an Army Green Beret’s assertion that alien technology was recovered from a crash site.
The Pentagon has refuted these claims, with a spokesperson stating no evidence supports the existence of extraterrestrial life, despite whistleblowers now coming to congress expressing a high alert-to-attention on the matter.
The controversy has also drawn attention to cultural and historical parallels, with the reptilian theory tracing back to Icke’s late-20th-century writings, which some critics haven often labeled as conspiratorial.
Despite the lack of verifiable evidence, the topic remains a focal point on X, with users like @DefenceOp amplifying Davis’s claims and fueling discussions under hashtags like #UFOtwitter and #UAP.
The absence of concrete proof keeps the debate speculative, but the growing number of whistleblowers has intensified calls for government accountability, per Newsbreak.
As Congress considers further UAP hearings, Davis’s claims underscore the tension between secrecy and public curiosity.
While believers see his testimony as a step toward disclosure, skeptics argue it risks sensationalizing unproven narratives.
The issue continues to captivate audiences, with no resolution in sight until more evidence is declassified.
