A former intelligence official told lawmakers Wednesday that the federal government has misappropriated funds to retrieve and reverse engineer technology from crashed unidentified flying objects and has “non-human” remains in its possession from these recovery efforts.
During his explosive testimony under oath before the House Oversight Subcommittee on National Security, the Border and Foreign Affairs, David Grusch — a former national reconnaissance officer who served as a member of the Pentagon’s task force on unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAP — alleged that the federal government has relied on intimidation, budgetary trickery and classified reporting to conceal its decades-long awareness of extraterrestrial aircraft.
Grusch made international news last month after he publicly shared his allegations.
Over the course of his work, Grusch told lawmakers he was made aware of “a multi-decade UAP crash retrieval and reverse engineering program,” adding that the government was “absolutely” in possession of recovered craft and has been aware of the existence of non-human aircraft since the 1930s.
“The recoveries pre-date a lot of our work in this area,” he said.
Grusch told lawmakers he filed a whistleblower complaint with the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community regarding the government’s covert actions “following concerning reports from multiple esteemed and credentialed current and former military and intelligence community individuals that the U.S. government is operating with secrecy — above congressional oversight — with regards to UAPs.”
In addition to retrieving downed UAPs, Grusch told lawmakers that “biologics came with some of these recoveries.” While he did not view the remains himself, Grusch said they were “non-human” in origin, based on “the assessment of people with direct knowledge on the program I talked to.”
Grusch further alleged that the government’s recovery and reverse engineering efforts are subsidized by the “misappropriation of funds” and that he has “specific knowledge” of money budgeted for one program but subsequently redirected to fund UAP-related programs.
“I have concerns, based on the interviews I conducted under my official duties, of potential violations of the Federal Acquisition Regulation,” he added, saying that “specific corporations” have been involved in the government’s UAP programs — details which he said he previously shared with the House and Senate Intelligence committees.
He also said he had personal knowledge of individuals who were harmed to cover up or conceal knowledge of extraterrestrial technology. When asked if he knew of anyone who had been murdered, Grusch said he “directed people with that knowledge to the appropriate authorities.”
Lawmakers expressed concerns about the government’s unwillingness to allow a more detailed summary of Grusch’s allegations in a secure setting. Grusch repeatedly told members he was limited in what he could say during a public hearing.
“We were even denied access to a classified briefing in a [sensitive compartmented information facility] prior to this hearing due to the amount of hoops that we had to jump through to grant temporary clearance to witness Grusch who has knowledge of classified information,” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., said.
Congress has taken steps to enhance reporting on UAPs, including establishing the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office last year to investigate sightings. The head of that office, Sean Kirkpatrick, told Senate lawmakers in April that they had found “no credible evidence thus far of extraterrestrial activity, off-world technology or objects that defy the known laws of physics.”
But lawmakers at Wednesday’s hearing said that the intelligence community’s unwillingness to fully disclose the extent of its activities would not be tolerated moving forward.
“This is an issue of government transparency,” Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., said, adding that “we’re going to uncover the coverup.”
I think that it depends of what we want to see released to the public. For example, letting the public know we have the hydrogen bomb is one thing; yet, providing detailed engineering and manufacturing information is another. Even if ordinary people would not be able produce such a weapon, a state actor could. So, telling the people what they know about ETs and UFOs in general is something we should demand; however, details of derived weapon systems or even ships would need some discretion.
The only direct knowledge he has is of funds being re-directed from one program to another.
Such re-direction is common in military budgets, and has long been a staple of "black operations" budgets.
Thx. That’s kinda why I posted this article. Didn’t know much about the source, but was hoping that was the case.
Oh, he said he will indeed do exactly that, but not to the general public. His information is to be provided to only Congressmen who have appropriate clearances.
I know folks around here don’t believe me, but that “secrecy” horse, including technical details, left the barn a long time ago.
The Russians have it, the Chinese have it, a bunch of private corporations have it.
The only folks who don’t have it are normal citizens.
Certain people can be shown a monstrous Saturn V, burned Apollo ships, actual LEM hardware, thousands of high resolution mission photographs, and recent photographs of equipment at the landing sites; but, they still don't believe the US landed men on the moon. It all comes down to believing the witnesses, not the hardware.
He has names of those who provided him the information and locations of so-called crashed non-human craft and is going to turn it over to the Congressmen in a classified hearing or SCIF.
And he was testifying under oath.
I'm not saying I know what this is, but it is causing quite a stir if it is nothing but worthless hearsay.
Keeping it secret for eighty years and claiming it is “national security” is absurd on its face.

David Grusch — a former national reconnaissance officer...
What is a "national reconnaissance officer?"
like the original monkey into space these could be next level vehicles designed to test the effect on a monkey therefore the non human designation.
Could be some of our own stuff that these pilots say they encountered.
The truth is always buried in the weasel words used by the government to protect secrets.
If turly in our defense national interests one thing, but is some other potential next level transportation , like concorde was, for private $$$ interests then another.
Cloaking all that in UFO’s the perfect cover
The “secret” is out—but most folks don’t believe it—so I guess it is still “secret”...

I am sorry to inform you that I have no "fuzzy photos of UFO's and aliens."
Mine are all clean-shaven and as crisp as the CRISPR technology allows.
Being all super-hush-hush secret, I know that the whispering Chinese from whom I received this critical information should remain nameless because revealing my sources would compromise something. Or the other. So they say, when they say it.
Best uncritical wishes.
WT the Extraterrestrial
They may have weapon system and platforms that the others may not have developed yet, even if they are sifting through the same sort of rubble. Certain details may always need to be protected. Also, some very dangerous weapons might be within reach of a civilian manufacturer. In all cases, our elected officials should know a fair amount of detail in order to fund it and control it and regulate its release to the public. Citizens should be privy to as much as feasible. Most important, everyone should benefit from whatever can be derived from that technology, and everyone should be privy to our place in the cosmos.
Your sentiment that all of that belongs to us is right and just.
And don't forget. You're gonna be a Star!!!;-)
Greg Eghigian, a history professor at Pennsylvania State University and expert in the history of UFOs as it occurs in the context of public fascination,[28] notes that there have been many instances over recent decades in the U.S. of people "who previously worked in some kind of federal department" coming forward to make "bombshell allegations" about the truth regarding UFOs with the whistleblower claims by Grusch fitting this pattern.[29] Eghigian described the 1940s-50s media enthusiasm about flying saucers, and comments that the successful books on the subject by authors Donald Keyhoe, Frank Scully and Gerald Heard, "provided the model for a new kind of public figure: the crusading whistleblower dedicated to breaking the silence over the alien origins of unidentified flying objects."[30] Since then all these similarly credentialed claimants have been unable to provide any further corroboration.[30] Eghigian noted the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office denied all of the claims made by Grusch and he questioned the veracity of Grusch's claims. According to The Guardian:
Eghigian is also skeptical about the veracity of these claims because it looks like Grusch followed Pentagon protocol in publishing this information, meaning that the Department of Defence approved the information he would pass on to the press, which is something the department only does if the information is not classified. If Grusch is telling the truth, surely this information would be classified, Eghigian says, and the department would not have allowed him to go on the record.[29]

That's very, very nice of you to offer. But stars are very, very hot, I know this because I touched one once and go a burn. So please, can I be a habitable planet instead? It would be so nice.
Klaatu barada nikto, in order To Serve Man some Chinese food, because you'll only be hungry an hour later. Maybe fried squirrel?
they have to bring in the DoE since a LOT of stuff goes into their black hole never heard from again...
“everyone should benefit from whatever can be derived from that technology, and everyone should be privy to our place in the cosmos.”
Yup—when you think about that the talk about “national security” starts to ring very hollow.
Imho the Cabal could not care less about nations, much less “national security”. It is their sword and their shield while they do the dirty...
We have lots of squirrels on these threads.;-)
