Senior US senators including Marco Rubio have been told in classified settings that highly intelligent non-human beings may be real, according to a former top congressional staffer. The claim, delivered publicly by Kirk McConnell, suggests that lawmakers heard detailed testimony inside secure facilities about recovered alien craft and even non-human bodies.
Kirk McConnell is not a fringe figure. He served for 37 years across the Senate Armed Services Committee, the Senate Intelligence Committee and the House Intelligence Committee before retiring from government service almost two years ago. Speaking about investigations that followed the 2017 New York Times reports on unidentified aerial phenomena, McConnell said he was directly involved in bipartisan efforts to examine the issue.
