A leading UFO expert has cast doubt on claims the bodies of deceased aliens have been recovered along with their spacecraft.
Professor Avi Loeb of Harvard University, who is a leading US astrophysicist who sits on the UAP Science Advisory Council, has given his thoughts on the wild claims suggesting shadowy US officials are in possession of the remains of extraterrestrial beings as well as crashed alien ships - insisting if there was evidence, it would have been shown to US President Donald Trump, who has been spearheading a push for greater transparency around the reporting of UAPs (unidentified anomalous phenomena).
In an essay posted on his website, Loeb wrote: "This board [the UAP Science Advisory Council], with comprehensive representation across the executive branch, military and intelligence community, vigorously follows the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE) and would be delighted to review any evidence for technologies of non-human origin.
"Obviously, any groundbreaking revelation about alien intelligence would be of great political benefit to the Trump administration.
"Why can’t anyone offer President Trump a guided tour to an alien spacecraft or at least some footage of alien bodies?"
Loeb was referring to claims by former UAP Task Force Director Jay Stratton, who gave a candid interview on Fox News recently,
Host Bret Baier asked: "Does the Government have nonhuman craft in its possession?" and Stratton replied: "Yes, it does."
When asked: "Have you seen one with your eyes?", Stratton then said: "I have seen non-human beings and non-human craft in my own eyes."
He also claimed shadowy US officials are attempting to "reverse-engineer" the alien technology as part of a secretive project.
However, Loeb claims Stratton should provide evidence through the official channels if what he's saying is true.
He wrote: "I invited him to speak with the UAP Science Advisory Council. Jay did not respond to my invitation ... Why is it a higher priority for Jay to speak with [Fox News host] Bret than with a Council that is dedicated to chasing the evidence and releasing it to the public? ...
"There is no doubt that Jay Stratton has a high professional credibility ... While his resume is undeniable, the claims Jay makes are not corroborated by publicly verifiable data ...
"We have to see the spacecraft that Jay claims to have seen (or data associated with these spacecraft) in order to accept his claim ...
"If someone holds the spacecraft, that someone can show it to the President of the United States.
"Jay claims that the president is not aware of the spacecraft despite the unprecedented interest in seeing it by the White House. We must see the evidence to gauge whether Jay is speaking the truth."
