WASHINGTON, DC: A shocking claim from former congressman Matt Gaetz has stirred debate after he alleged the existence of secret 'alien-human hybrid breeding programs' during an appearance on 'The Benny Show', clips of which premiered on Tuesday, March 31. 

Speaking with Benny Johnson, Gaetz said he was briefed by a uniformed US Army official about the alleged operations, though he acknowledged he had not verified the claims.

Laying out the claim, Gaetz said, “I had someone come and brief me who was in a military uniform that was briefing me on the locations of hybrid breeding programs where captured aliens were breeding with humans to create some hybrid race that could engage in intergalactic communication.”

He added, “An actual uniformed member of the United States Army briefed me on that.”

He went further, saying, “What they explained is that the military ran a very secret program where aliens were in forced breeding programs with humans that had been abducted from war zones and from even the caravans of migrants.”

Gaetz specified the scale of the alleged operation, stating, “What a whistleblower was telling me is that there were like between six and 12 locations around the country where this happened.”

He also described the proposed exposure plan: “What he wanted was a group members of Congress to all show up at the same time at all of these different locations so that any of those activities could not be moved.”

However, he admitted the limitation, saying, “It’s a physical impossibility to get members of Congress to simultaneously show up at like eight locations at one time.”

At the same time, Gaetz made it clear that the claims were uncertain.

Linking the claims to past testimony, Gaetz said, “That was the testimony of David Grusch, that in crashes of craft recovered by the CIA, it wasn’t just hard materials. It was also biologics, but that they couldn’t identify a human source of those biologics.”

For additional context, he pointed to his own access to classified programs: “I sat on the emerging threats subcommittee. had access to DARPA, had special compartmentalized clearance. I even got to see things that other members of Congress didn’t get to see.”

He also suggested the US may have benefited from unknown technology, stating, “I believe that the United States military has benefited from the acquisition of technology and the reverse engineering of that technology.”

However, he stopped short of confirming extraterrestrial origins, adding, “Do I know its origin from aliens or out of space? I just know it’s not something that is indigenous to our own defense ecosystem.”
