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.”
Did you see that Clapper was lurking right over the shoulder of, I think it was George Knapp, in yesterday’s hearing?
Kind of surprising in retrospect.
Yep. What was that all about?
Clapper is probably a “consultant” for one of the contractors who may be guilty of hiding legacy craft etal—his job is to gather Intel of what the Committee knows so the contractor can empty the relevant warehouses as needed.
"I'll give the Colonel his due. His chicken is pretty good. But it has nothing on KFS — this extra-crispy version of fried squirrel. We use between 10 and 12 herbs and spices, go ahead and count 'em, for a flavor that is remarkably similar to a famous chicken recipe."

Mouth watering. Unlike the squirrels on some threads, eh?
Re: the Department of Defence approved the information he would pass on to the press
As I understand it, the information Grusch passed on was cleared by the Defense Office of Prepublication and Security Review (DOPSR) and that information was reviewed mostly to make sure no classified info was included and that Grusch had not violated his NDA.
As said, I think that's what Grusch meant when he said he had followed protocol (in other words, Grusch was saying, in effect, that he hadn't broken the law).
As a threat?
And he was sitting up there front and center so his employers could see that he was on the job.
See CGBG’s post #64.
Secretly selling weapons to the Iranians in order to fund the armed conflict in Nicaragua is a classic example of that.
Whistleblower alleges government coverup of UFO
No clear photos of film
No parts
No bodies
Happy farm missing another ones.
Very wholesome stuff like picnics and hiking.
NRO is the National Reconnaissance Office.
I suppose I should have been more clear. There is no such thing as a national reconnaissance officer.
I note that because all of the stories that I read about this “whistle blower” misstate his resume.
That, his body language, and personal experience with folks with former high level jobs and clearances lead me to believe he is full of crap.
” he is full of crap.”
An IG is going to evaluate whether that is true or not.
He made a lot of specific statements that are either true or false—and are easily verifiable and/or falsifiable.
There is no certainty in these things but I like the odds of his telling the truth.
As he said, he has names, photos, locations, etc. for bodies and crashed vehicles.
On top of that, he is under oath.
He made a lot of specific statements that are either true or false—and are easily verifiable and/or falsifiable.
Verification of hearsay will be hard.
I only saw parts of his testimony. Can you give me an example of a claim that would be easily verifiable and/or falsifiable?
That may be part of the reason, but the Russians and Chinese are not stupid, even if they are godless.
IMO, Grusch is sincere but are the other actors, the ones who passed the info on to him? In these days of will to power, systemic lying, scheming, corruption, and so on, I think not.
They Came From Uranus.
Critics rave: This movie stinks.
Sure:
—Defense contractors (that he will name in private session) will have alien craft artifacts or they will not.
—The IG will be able to show the alleged misappropriation of federal funds to cover the ongoing costs to reverse engineer/store/hide/coverup alien craft or they will not.
—Other whistleblowers will come forward to testify to the Committee or they will not....
and those are just a few examples—we are talking double digits of verifiable/falsifiable stuff here.
