Five intelligence and space agency chiefs who believe aliens and UFOs exist

We’ve all been waiting for the day that we tune in to a breaking news story and see a high ranking official from NASA finally confirm that they have discovered life on other planets.

For a long time we have been mentally preparing ourselves to meet our martian counterparts, who we have long imagined to be these majestic, celestial beings who can perhaps teach us a thing or two about who we are, where we came from and where we are going.

So far we have searched a radius of up to 30 billion light years from our planet and found nothing, but we have still only explored a very small fraction of what’s out there.

Yet five intelligence and space agency chiefs – from the US, the UK, Israel and Russia – have said they’ve already seen enough to believe that aliens exist, possibly giving us a spoiler of more information to come. Here’s what they’ve said.

1) Former CIA director James Woolsey – The former American spy chief, who served as the head of the CIA between 1993 and 1995, told Black Vault in 2021 that at first he found tales involving “some kind of aircraft-like airframe” a bit “far out” until one case in which his friend was able to have his aircraft “stop at 40,000 feet or so and not continue operating as a normal aircraft.”

He explained: “There had just been enough things like that that have occurred that I think there will be a lot of examination of what’s going on over the course of several months or years. I’m not as skeptical as I was a few years ago, to put it mildly, but something is going on that is surprising to a series of intelligent aircraft, experienced pilots.”

2) Former CIA director John Brennan – Another ex-CIA chief to utter his belief in aliens in John Brennan, who ran the agency between 2013 and 2017. Speaking on the ‘Conversations with Tyler’ podcast in December 2020, Brennan said it would be “presumptuous and arrogant” to believe we are alone in the universe.

He said: “I think some of the phenomena we’re going to be seeing continues to be unexplained and might, in fact, be some type of phenomenon that is the result of something that we don’t yet understand and that could involve some type of activity that some might say constitutes a different form of life.”

3) Former MI6 chief Sir John Sawers – Sharing his views at the Digital Transformation EXPO in London in 2019, the former British spook, who was Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service from 2009 until 2014, said the universe’s infinite size means it would be “extraordinary” if comparable life doesn’t exist elsewhere.

He said: “I think it would be extraordinary if in an infinite solar system that planet Earth was unique. I think we should go forward on the assumption that nothing on this planet is unique.”

4) Former Israeli Defense Ministry space directorate chief Haim Eshed – In December 2020, veteran Israeli aeronautical engineering professor Haim Eshed, who headed Israel’s space directorate from 2007 till his retirement in 2011, not only claimed that aliens existed, but said that aliens were equally as curious about us as we are about them.

He told the Yediot Aharonot newspaper that humans and aliens had already signed a secret agreement including an “underground base in the depths of Mars" where there are American astronauts and alien representatives, although they have been “waiting until today for humanity to develop and reach a stage where we will understand, in general, what space and spaceships are" before they can announce the deal.

5) Russian space agency head Dmitry Rogozin – Dmitry Rogozin, who is the serving director-general of Russia’s space agency, Roscosmos, recently said in a Russian television interview that some UFO sightings can be attributed to aliens, although 99.9 percent of all sightings are "atmospheric and other physical phenomena."

According to RT, Rogozin told Rossiya-24 news that humans "might be a subject to some external observation", adding: "We can study bacteria, but we can also be studied just like bacteria.”
