Non-human bodies are the alleged remains of intelligent beings of non-human origin, said by some witnesses and researchers to have been recovered with crashed unidentified craft. The idea has circulated since accounts of the 1947 Roswell incident and is a central element of modern crash-retrieval allegations. No government has acknowledged holding such remains, and none has been made available for independent scientific study. The claim overlaps with broader allegations about non-human biologics, a term that can cover tissue or other material rather than complete bodies.

The modern public record begins with the July 2023 House Oversight hearing, where former intelligence officer David Grusch testified that biologics had been recovered with some craft and that they were non-human, which he said was the assessment of people with direct knowledge of the program he had spoken with. On September 12, 2023, journalist Jaime Maussan presented two small mummified figures to Mexico's Congress, saying they were non-human beings more than 1,000 years old from Peru. Mexico's national university said it had not endorsed his conclusions, and a forensic archaeologist who examined similar Nazca figures for Peruvian prosecutors reported that they were dolls assembled from animal and human bones with synthetic glue.

Claims multiplied in 2026. In March, Representative Eric Burlison said the White House had cleared him to visit military facilities where non-human craft or bodies might be held; after a first visit he told the New York Post he had not seen a craft and remained "a skeptic until I see it." In August, physicist Eric Davis told NewsNation that he had "seen the records" of recovered non-human bodies. In October, former UAP Task Force director Jay Stratton said in connection with his memoir that a source told him the Roswell crash was real, that wreckage and non-human bodies were recovered, and that some beings initially survived.

Official positions run the other way. In 2023 a Pentagon spokesperson said the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office had not found verifiable information substantiating claims of programs possessing or reverse-engineering extraterrestrial materials, and AARO's 2024 historical report found no empirical evidence of off-world technology. The allegation therefore rests on testimony, secondhand accounts of records and specimens of disputed provenance. It remains the most consequential and least documented part of the crash-retrieval story: it has shaped congressional language, whistleblower requests for immunity and public expectations of the 2026 records releases, yet no recovered remains have entered the scientific record.
