Fox News host Jesse Watters lit the internet on fire after airing a jaw-dropping segment discussing alleged UFO crash recoveries, “non-human intelligence,” and even so-called “reptilian” alien species that some researchers claim have been secretly studied by the U.S. government for decades.

The bombshell discussion comes after the Trump administration’s recent release of declassified UFO/UAP files through a new Pentagon transparency initiative that has already generated massive public attention.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported Dr. Hal Puthoff, 89, a Stanford-trained quantum physicist who previously led remote-viewing programs for the CIA and advised the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP), made the explosive assertion during an appearance on Steve Bartlett’s “The Diary of a CEO” podcast this week.

“People who have been involved in recoveries have said there are at least four types. Four separate types,” Puthoff said. “Now I have not had direct access to that, but I believe the people whom I talked to — four separate types of life.”

According to Davis, all four are humanoid in appearance with two arms, two legs, and a basic human-like body plan.

He describes them as follows:

Grays: Small, hairless beings with massive black eyes. Nordics: Tall, human-looking entities resembling people from Northern Europe. Reptilians: Scaly, lizard-like creatures that walk upright, often with tails. Insectoids/Mantids: Bug-like humanoids that resemble praying mantises. During his primetime show, Watters declared bluntly: “We are not alone.”

Watters posted the clip on X, which has now garnered over 1 million views, writing:

“RESEARCHERS SAY DOZENS OF CRASHED UFOS HAVE BEEN RECOVERED — WITH FOUR DIFFERENT ALIEN SPECIES ON BOARD

TWO ARMS, TWO LEGS… LONG TAILS LIKE A LIZARD! 7 FEET TALL!

SOURCES ARE TOO SCARED TO TALK… SAYING AN INTERVIEW COULD ‘FORFEIT THEIR LIFE’”

[Hot Tabasco]

I’m amazed that aliens can master interstellar travel,

If mankind is still alive 1,000 years from now, how far advanced in technology do you think we could evolve from today?

[missthethunder]

“It wants to be looked at, gazed upon, invited in, allowed, the door opened. To be summoned.”

That’s why the mat in front of my door does not say “welcome”.

It just says “be kind”.

[yesthatjallen]

That’s called a false pregnancy.

[yesthatjallen]

"If mankind is still alive 1,000 years from now, how far advanced in technology do you think we could evolve from today?"

You can play 'What If' all day but that doesn't prove aliens have visited the Earth.

[catnipman]

“Even if you saw pictures you wouldn’t believe it.”

probably ...

though if they were indisputable pics from indisputable Fed UFO files, maybe ... though videos from such a source might be a bit more convincing

[ProtectOurFreedom]

...in 1,000 years, how far advanced in technology do you think we could evolve from today?

That's an interesting question, one I have fun discussing with our son. I bring it home for him by describing what his great grandparents saw in their lifetime, his grandparents and his parents. He's even amazed at age 35 the changes that he's seen.

If you were alive in 1700, how many of the inventions in that century (much less 1,000 years) could you have foreseen? Same with 1800, 1900 and 2,000.

[JohnnyP]

I worked at Area 51 for a time, once in the fall of ‘82 for three weeks, then again over the winter of 84/85, about five months total. I don’t believe Bob Lazar.

[Mark17]

One has a pregnancy without engaging in sex and then no embryo with neither and abortion or birth.

That’s pretty much the same things I have heard. Maybe this is how new nephilim are created.

[captmar-vell]

lol . .I need a doormat with a pic and quote from that rude Star Wars Mos Eisley Barkeep guy
‘We dont serve there kind in here, your ‘grays’ they’ll have to wait outside”

[captmar-vell]

Amen to your words and to your prayer.

[GingisK]

That doesn’t fit her experience, which was explicit.

[GingisK]

Maybe this is how new nephilim are created.

They told her that this is how they repair their very old genetics. They have been around so long that it is like they have become inbred.

[unread]

What..no fuzzy photos.?

[unread]

"Have you looked at some of the members of Congress lately? San Francisco? Portland?"

Yeah, I gotta agree with you on that. Some of those folks just gotta be from someplace else...

[Mark17]

I never thought of it quite like that. Interesting point.

[GingisK]

Technology so advanced it can travel interstellar space, but when it gets here...

F-35s, a technology so advanced that they crash after flying 100 miles.

[bert]

What a bunch of unadulterated, totally ignorant bull shit.

[Republican Wildcat]

Hardly responsive to what I wrote...

[woodbutcher1963]

Curious, did you ever hear about S4 or have access to that part of the base?

Bob states that he worked exclusively at S4 and not at the main base at area 51.

Are they actually separated by ten miles?

I REALLY want to hear what you have to say on this subject.

[woodbutcher1963]

Also, do you believe what Commander David Fravor(US NAVY Ret) has testified before Congress regarding the crafts he witnessed while operating a US Naval aircraft?

That the visual evidence released last year by the US government seems to corroborate the method of flight that Bob Lazar described back in the 1980s and twice on the JRE podcast? Meaning the flying saucer tilted in the direction that it moved just as Bob described. The US NAVY presented radar, visual and Fluer(sp?) evidence that these crafts are real. This was presented by multiple whistle blowers before Congress last year.
