Has the United States government ever made contact with UFOs?
That question has been on Americans' minds for decades.
The idea that the US government is hiding some truth about alien life has long been the stuff of entertainment,
French groups, and conspiracy theories.
But more recently, that claim has gotten much more serious attention,
including from the government itself.
Our colleague Joel Scheckman, who covers national security, has been reporting on it.
For the past three years or so,
you've had a number of congressional hearings where these whistleblowers have come public saying that they had become aware of secret alien programs within the government.
Do you believe our government has made contact with intelligent extraterrestrials?
something I can't discuss in public setting.
That they do that, you know,
the government might even have some form of alien bodies that they're, uh, possession.
If you believe we have crashed craft, uh, stated earlier,
do we have the bodies of the pilots who piloted this craft?
As I've stated publicly already in my news nation interview,
biologics came with some of these recoveries.
Yeah.
As Joel has been digging into the government's growing interest in UFOs,
He's gained access to an unprecedented Pentagon investigation.
