Elizondo read bio-effects reports going back many years documenting medical consequences experienced by humans who encountered UAP technology.

Reported UAP biological effects touch all five senses and include sleep issues, nervous issues, fuzzy thinking, time distortion, and claimed development of psychic abilities.
“The litany of complications reported touch upon all five senses, and beyond. Sleep issues. Nervous issues. Fuzzy thinking and time distortion are common. Some women insist that they became pregnant following UAP encounters. There are the 'usual' reports of abductions and implants. And some people insist that they developed some sort of psychic abilities following encounters.”

Dr. Wellaide Cecim Carvalho treated approximately forty Colares Incidents victims in 1977, most with burns consistent with thermal or directed energy exposure.
“Dr. Carvalho treated about forty people in 1977. Most had burns consistent with exposure to either thermal or directed energy; the burns healed once the skin peeled off.”

All twenty-three burn victims tested by Dr. Carvalho had low haemoglobin levels.

Garry Nolan concurred with Will that all UAP experiencers whose MRI images were presented had suffered brain scarring known as white-matter disease.

AAWSAP/AATIP medical researchers concluded that the severity of UAP biological symptoms depended on the victim's genetic circumstances and proximity to the UAP.
“We felt certain that the severity of the symptoms was determined by two data points: each victim's own set of genetic circumstances, and how close the victim was to the UAP or phenomena at the time of the event.”

According to the warp bubble theory, radiation is blueshifted outside the UAP bubble such that witnesses may be bombarded with UV rays, soft X-rays, and possibly gamma rays.
“When the propulsion system of a UAP is operational, it would behave like a giant radioactive power plant. It would be blueshifting visible light into dangerous territory for living tissue. Witnesses would be bombarded with UV rays, soft X-rays, and possibly gamma rays.”

Elizondo opined that UAP harm to humans is unintentional, comparing it to standing behind a jet engine during takeoff.
“Outside of an event like Colares, I would argue the harm is unintentional. Jet engines were never developed to be deployed as weapons, but if you stand behind one when a commercial airplane is revving up, you're going to be hurt—badly.”

Elizondo identified biological effects as a sixth UAP observable not yet publicly discussed by the US government, including radiation burns, internal organ damage, and other documented medical issues.
“The sixth observable is not a flight characteristic and has not yet been discussed publicly by our government... many service personnel and intelligence officials who had UAP encounters have suffered biological effects as a result of their experiences. These include radiation burns, internal organ damage, and other very real and documented medical issues.”

Will and Garry Nolan discovered that nearly all the people in Will's AAWSAP studies had Native American DNA, specifically Cherokee blood.
“Most interesting to me was Will and Garry's discovery of the connection to Indigenous people of North America. It turned out that almost all the people in Will's studies—military and intelligence officials with remote-viewing abilities and/or UAP encounters and biological effects—had Native American DNA. Specifically, Cherokee blood.”
