UFOS buzzing warships and being reported by US pilots could be of alien origin, America's top spy chief has said in a stunning admission.
Avril Haines, the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), who oversees all 16 US spy agencies including the FBI and CIA, was speaking at the Our Future in Space event at the Washington National Cathedral.
