Recovery programmes

Accounts of recovered objects and alleged hidden programmes. Direct participation, reported information and investigation are labelled separately.

Hypotheses and explanations

Proposed mechanisms, possible motives and alternative interpretations. These are different hypotheses, not a shared finding.

Earth-based NHI

Claims of non-human intelligence living or operating here on Earth, including “interterrestrial” ideas. A presence here is distinct from an Earth origin. Only relevant reviewed statements are linked.

David GruschUnderwater base claimAn underwater installation
He relayed an account of a large underwater base-like structure with an uncertain origin.2026-09-30 · Information attributed to contacts; transcript reviewJake BarberContinuing presence claimA continuing non-human presence here
Asked for an educated guess, Barber said he was told the eggs were crewed by greys and suggested the other recovered object belonged to another non-human species. He described a continuing presence here that usually escapes detection. This does not establish an Earth origin.2026-10-01 · Reported information and interpretation; original publisher auto-caption review

NHI conflict

Claims that different non-human groups have fought or interfered with one another. Reported accounts are separated from speculation; none is presented as an established event.

David GruschReports group conflictReported conflict between non-human groups
Discussing alleged crashes, Grusch said some involved conflict between non-human groups and referred to records. No such underlying records are supplied in the reviewed passage. This is a reported allegation, not his eyewitness account.2026-09-30 · Automated transcript review; original-recording verification pendingRoss CoulthartRoswell source accountRoswell: two craft in conflict
Written episode summaries attribute to Coulthart an account he says he was told: two craft associated with different non-human groups came down following conflict or collision at Roswell in 1947. This is unnamed-source reporting; the underlying event and exact audio wording have not been verified here.2026-11-08 · Secondary-summary indexing; original audio verification pending

Who worked with whom?

Relationships need their own evidence. These entries distinguish professional work, self-reported employment, expressed support and interview appearances.

How this record works

• Claims first. Each person has a numbered list with stable links, dates and the stated basis: personal observation, information from others, hypothesis or prediction.
• Quotes next. Short extracts retain their source and context. Automated podcast transcripts are useful for finding passages, but are marked until checked against the recording.
• Sources and chronology. Interviews, hearings, documents and later repetitions are dated separately from the incidents they describe. An upload, transcription or re-release date does not silently become the original statement date.
• Connections with a reason. A job, shared project, interview appearance and expression of support are different relationships. One does not prove the others.
• Corrections remain visible. Later additions should explain whether a statement is new, repeated, elaborated, qualified, corrected or withdrawn. A fresh appearance is not automatically a new claim.
