UFC legend Georges St-Pierre shares his ‘conclusion’ on UFO encounters
Georges St-Pierre is considered one of the greatest fighters in UFC history. These days, the Canadian MMA star is more concerned with a different acronym: UFO.
St-Pierre, the former welterweight and middleweight UFC champion, is well-known for his belief in alien life and UFOs (unidentified flying objects).
Actually, out of respect for the former two-division champ, we’ll refer to UFOs by their preferred name these days: UAPs. That stands for Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena.
St-Pierre, from Montreal, Canada, has never hidden his interest in the world beyond our exosphere. In a recent post on X, the former UFC champ shared his thoughts on a pile of UAP-related documents that were released by the Pentagon a few years back.
Specifically, he shared six theories — and his best shot at a “conclusion” on humanity’s encounters with beings and vehicles from other worlds.
The Pentagon genuinely declassified UAP videos in 2020, (more have been released since) and it was a significant moment because it confirmed that these unidentified anonymous phenomena (UAP) are being taken seriously by the government.

“The Pentagon genuinely declassified UAP videos in 2020, (more have been released since) and it was a significant moment because it confirmed that these unidentified anonymous phenomena (UAP) are being taken seriously by the government,” St-Pierre wrote. “For fun, I’ve made a list of some theories about what I think it could be.”
UFC legend Georges St-Pierre shares theories on UFOs
St-Pierre shared the following theories:
1. Secret technology (drones, holograms, weapons testing)
• Perhaps the most “rational,” some believe these are highly classified programs, either American (black projects like TR-3B, etc.), or allies or even adversaries (Russia, China) testing advanced systems (hypersonic drones, optical camouflage technologies, etc.).
• This would explain the reluctance to reveal too much information.
2. Manipulation or distraction (orchestrated false staging)
• Classic conspiracy theory: the government creates a false narrative around UAPs to divert attention from political, economic, or financial scandals, or even far more disturbing truths (e.g., genetic manipulation, biolabs, or geopolitical secrets). • In this hypothesis, the “actors” and “witnesses” would be accomplices or manipulated individuals.
3. Unknown (or poorly understood) natural phenomena
• Some scientists cite atmospheric phenomena that are still poorly understood: plasma, rare electromagnetic discharges, gravitational mirages, or strange interactions between the aircraft and ionized layers.
• This could also include psychophysiological effects on pilots, combined with optical illusions.
4. Extraterrestrial (or extradimensional / intraterrestrial) visitors
• Classic ET hypothesis: technologically advanced civilizations from elsewhere.
• Or, a more “esoteric” theory: entities from other dimensions, or already living hidden underground or under the oceans.
5. Lost Human Civilization (Breakaway Civilization)
• Fascinating theory: an extremely advanced human or humanoid civilization survived a global catastrophe (flood, ice age) and lived in hiding, observing our development.
• This is consistent with ancient accounts (Atlantis, Lemuria) or hypotheses about underground installations.
6. “Glitch” in our reality or consciousness (simulation, Matrix errors)
• Philosophical/Simulationist hypothesis: we live in a simulation or a programmed universe, and these phenomena are “bugs,” system tests, or manifestations of higher-order programming (Matrix-type).
