Retired US Navy Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet publicly stated in May 2026 that some unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) are controlled by an advanced non-human intelligence beyond known human capabilities [1, 2].
Gallaudet, a recognized expert on the UAP topic in the US, told Fox News on the show ‘Tomi Lahren Is Fearless’ that he has reviewed data videos of flying objects exhibiting extraordinary characteristics [2]. He said, "I've seen data videos of objects that are so clearly not ours or our adversaries, for example, objects that move between the ocean and the atmosphere and back without any visible interruption in disturbance of the sea surface and high rates of speed, we don't have technology that can do that" [2].
He described the intelligence controlling these phenomena as a "higher order non-humans intelligence that direct the movement of these phenomena" [2]. Gallaudet also cautioned against using terms like "alien" or "extraterrestrial," saying their origin and nature remain unclear. "I've not seen an alien, and we don't even, that's not really the best term in addition to extraterrestrial, because what we really don't know is where they come from, what their nature is, and again, their intentions," he said [2].
Gallaudet’s views add to growing public and official discussion about UAP, emphasizing unknown technology that challenges current scientific understanding [1, 2]. His statements were made public this month, marking a notable reaffirmation from a former senior Navy official.
The next developments in the UAP discourse may focus on further government or military disclosures and data reviews as interest continues to rise.
