On July 2, 2026, Rolling Stone published a report by journalist Katherine Eban describing a December 2025 meeting at the Department of Health and Human Services. The meeting was scheduled to cover homelessness and related policy, but according to the report, it turned into a discussion about UFOs. The White House had sent billionaire Robert Bigelow, founder of Bigelow Aerospace and Budget Suites and one of the longest running private funders of UFO research, to meet with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
According to two people familiar with the meeting referenced by Rolling Stone, the two men agreed that aliens likely exist, and Bigelow pressed Kennedy to have President Trump disclose what the government knows. Kennedy reportedly described his own awareness of certain alien species. Both men declined to comment through spokespeople. Months later, Trump ordered the Pentagon to begin releasing UFO files, a process that started in February 2026. Whether the two events are connected is not confirmed.
Bigelow is also the connection to the next development. In the 1990s, he funded a private research group called NIDS, the National Institute for Discovery Science, to study Skinwalker Ranch. One of the scientists he hired was astrophysicist Eric Davis. In a new interview on The Good Trouble Show, hosted by Matt Ford, Davis made several claims that line up with the Rolling Stone reporting.
Davis stated that there are a minimum of four different alien species known in both the public domain and the classified world. He noted that he holds no classified proof he can share, only what his security training and inside sources allow him to describe. Davis also described what he calls the legacy program, private defense contractors he says have handled crash retrieved craft. According to Davis, that effort was shut down in 1989, and per a senior vice president he references, the CIA revisits it roughly every ten years, issuing new contracts as laboratory technology advances, then returning the material to storage when reverse engineering fails.
Davis then turned to AARO, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office. He and Matt Ford said its work runs largely through contractors, referencing a fired prime contractor and a current firm, Arlo Solutions, that possibly specialize in insider threat and perception management. Davis also claimed that AARO’s first director, Sean Kirkpatrick, was mentored by Glenn Gaffney, a former CIA deputy director for science and technology.
Gaffney’s name has surfaced before in connection with an alleged blocking of a non-human intelligence technology transfer from Lockheed Martin to AARO, and he reportedly sat on an AARO advisory board. AARO has not confirmed these claims, and Kirkpatrick has consistently said there is no evidence that UFOs are alien in nature.
On the question of secrecy, Davis explained that Standard Form 312, the nondisclosure agreement signed by cleared personnel, still permits a person to bring classified information to Congress when the concern involves fraud, waste, or abuse. That is the same channel David Grusch used when he came forward.
