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.”
Government Executive is government's business news daily and the premier digital destination for senior leaders in the federal government's departments and agencies. Our readers are the high-ranking civilian and military officials who are responsible for defending the nation and carrying out the laws that define the government's role in our economy and society.
non-human = Nazis
Wtf? Are perpetual Trump indictments no longer sufficient distraction from the bidung scandals?
Government Executive is a solid publication most of the time—lots of news that federal government employees and contractors find useful.
It is usually “nuts and bolts” but occasionally drifts into leftist or Deep State propaganda.
It is good news that they published this. It will encourage other whistleblowers to come forward since this is a publication that many of them read.
If anyone wants on or off this ping list, let me know.
The headlines across the interwebs are exploding with coverage of yesterday's House Oversight Committee hearings on this topic. I couldn't find anything new (not already covered in the hearing threads from yesterday), but I though this one was interesting because of the source and the mention of government (DOD, I presume) budget shenanigans to cover various related "sneaky" operations.
Government Executive is for insiders, not the mass public.
“Distraction” is irrelevant—this is a nuts and bolts—not political—publication.
Thx. I was unaware of that POV.
“...federal government has misappropriated funds to retrieve and reverse engineer technology..”
~~~
This isn’t about money, this is about wars between the deep state and proxy wars for other interests. Almost every aspect of our government has been compromised by very rich and powerful foreign interests, and there are clandestine R&D and blackbox programs that our enemies want to get intel on because they have been successfully compartmentalized.
Why are these whiney a$$holes complaining that we are doing research????
Good find—don’t let the trolls discourage you.
As I said to another poster yesterday if these witnesses are willing to risk their lives to take on the Deep State we should not complain if we have to deal with the army of the uninformed.
I didn’t watch this but I’m guessing they said nothing or the same old same old can’t this and can’t that
I believe a HUGE problem with Gov is that we just do not know where and how various agencies get money.
I would expect that if they cut off funding to CIA/FBI, and others. That they would continue forever. As they have massive hidden assetts. And huge financial networks providing them with income.
I've been too distracted with UFO threads to read the news.
The money is the key to unlock the door to Deep State secrets.
Funds were and still are misappropriated—those who did and do so belong in jail.
You didn’t miss anything. It was just 2 congressmen and a farmer from Roswell, New Mexico talking about a fake alien autopsy back in the 1940’s.
Funds were and still are misappropriated—those who did and do so belong in jail.

I disagree.
Do you think we should have had house oversight hearings in real time when they were running the Manhattan project?
HELL NO
I allege that Congress likes to waste taxpayer money by having hearings about ostensibly imaginary things.
Project Blue Beam
This hearing had lots of information never before released to the public.
This thread from yesterday is worth your time to review the details:

“Do you think we should have had house oversight hearings in real time when they were running the Manhattan project?”
With the extent of wrongdoing that the government has tried to hide behind “national security” and classification, yes, I have come to the conclusion that the drawbacks of full transparency with the public are far better than the drawbacks of an unrestrained secret government that answers to nobody.
The damn commies got the bomb within a couple years anyway, after all.
We are talking about legacy technology—much of it as early as the 1940s and 1950s.
Keeping it secret for eighty years and claiming it is “national security” is absurd on its face.
