Project Aquarius: Inside the Alleged Alien Biological Entity Files
Uncover the myths, claims, and what’s known about this secretive operation.
For decades, whispers of secret government programs have fueled speculation about contact with extraterrestrials. Project Aquarius is one of these alleged operations' most tantalizing and shadowy. Born from post-Roswell panic and buried under layers of top-secret classification, Project Aquarius allegedly documented contact with Alien Biological Entities (EBEs)—non-human lifeforms recovered or encountered during covert missions.
But is there any truth to it?
Let’s explore what’s known, what’s claimed, and where myth and mystery collide.
What Is Project Aquarius?
Some researchers and whistleblowers believe Project Aquarius is a black-budget program overseen by a secretive arm of the U.S. government, possibly connected to the controversial Majestic-12 group (MJ-12).
The name first appeared in leaked documents that surfaced in the 1980s and 1990s—allegedly obtained by UFO researchers and insiders. According to these documents:
Project Aquarius’s mission was to collect, analyze, and catalog information on extraterrestrial life and technologies.
Specifically, it focused on EBEs—extraterrestrial biological entities—whether recovered from crashed craft, intercepted in communication, or encountered through classified diplomatic or psychic means.
The Story of EBE-1
A detailed depiction of EBE-1, an extraterrestrial biological entity central to Project Aquarius lore.
Central to the Aquarius narrative is EBE-1, allegedly recovered alive from the Roswell crash in 1947. Some accounts claim that:
EBE-1 was a member of a species known as the Ebens from Zeta Reticuli, tying directly into the Serpo exchange program lore.
He lived for several years under government custody and shared limited knowledge of his people and their science.
His presence prompted the formation of Project Aquarius as a data-collection and containment effort.
EBE-1 is described as intelligent, telepathic, and biologically fragile by human standards. His existence, if true, would radically redefine human history.
The Leaked Documents: Fact or Fabrication?
The most infamous files that mention Project Aquarius are tied to MJ-12 documents, including:
"Briefing Document: Operation Majestic-12" (1987)
Alleged "Aquarius Executive Summaries"
Files released by whistleblowers like Bill Cooper and Richard Doty
These materials describe:
Coded interviews with EBEs
Biological analysis reports
Alien communication protocols
Evidence of interstellar travel and off-world colonies
Skeptics argue these documents are elaborate forgeries, possibly part of a disinformation campaign to mislead UFO researchers. Others see them as leaks from frustrated insiders trying to reveal the truth without breaking national security oaths.
Alien Biology: What Did the Files Say?
If we take the leaks at face value, EBEs were:
Approximately 4 feet tall, gray-skinned, and humanoid
Had no digestive system, relying on enzymatic nutrient absorption
Possessed dual-brained structures, allowing for rapid learning and limited emotional expression
Had a lifespan far exceeding human norms, possibly over 300 Earth years
While no hard evidence of these findings has surfaced, the consistency across different accounts—many allegedly independent—keeps the discussion alive.
Where Project Aquarius Meets Project Serpo
Project Aquarius doesn’t exist in a vacuum. According to certain whistleblowers:
It provided the biological and cultural groundwork for the Serpo exchange program in the 1960s.
The EBEs in Aquarius were the same species that hosted U.S. astronauts on Planet Serpo in the Zeta Reticuli system.
Much of the data from Serpo was fed back into Aquarius files for long-term analysis.
If true, this would mean Project Aquarius served as a database and diplomatic interface between Earth and another star system.
Final Thoughts: Disinformation or Disclosure?
Project Aquarius is one of the most enigmatic elements of modern UFO lore. It intersects with conspiracy theory, national security, and genuine public fascination. While there’s no verified proof of its existence, the very idea raises profound questions:
Has humanity already made contact with intelligent life?
If so, why would that knowledge be buried under layers of secrecy?
And how much of what we dismiss as fiction might be classified as truth?
The mystery continues as long as governments deny, and documents trickle into public view.
