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.”
DoE is up to it’s neck in it...
If he's doing his job, he has vetted his sources.
At any rate, his sources will soon have to face the music when Congress either calls them to testify or issues them a subpoena if they refuse.
People behind the scenes in Congress and those close to the witnesses who testified say that we are now in a completely new era as regards UFO/UAP's.
I guess we regular folk will have to wait and see.
Absolutely.
Under oath is meaningless for crazy people no such thing exists zero evidence has ever been proved in any way nothing.
At best another ruse to get money for a dark project by the feds.
Drones fool a lot of people ever see a 4th of July show with them.
Did he claim that the were alien craft artifacts, or that someone told him there were? If it turns out there aren’t, he can still claim someone told him there were.
How have you concluded that this person is crazy? Is it because his testimony is so extraordinary? Or is there something else that you know that you can share?
Trump thought he knew his sources as well. It's been a long hard road he's been traveling to find out how wrong he was, that people he thought he could trust were the first to stick a knife into his back.
True, but that is the press. You can't expect those morons to get anything correct.
something else that you know that you can share?
Yes no such evidence has ever been found about a UFO crazy is the key word for anyone who says their is.
There is a vast amount of circumstantial evidence (eye-witness testimony) and this kind of evidence can be relied upon to convict a man of murder and send him to the electric chair.
BTW, I posted a comment on another thread that is germane here:
It is interesting to see how some folks on FR react to the subject of UFO's. I am reminded of the stages of grief/loss. The threat of a major paradigm shift or loss of one's perception of reality can cause the same kind of reaction.Here are the five stages:
A lot of people on FR are still in the Denial, Anger stage. You can see it in their irrational comments. Their minds are closed, their comments are emotional, not logical, and they often display some anger at those who disagree with them and at the subject of the threads themselves.
- Denial
- Anger
- Bargaining
- Depression
- Acceptance
As an aside, it is worth mentioning that the above-listed stages don't have clearly-defined borders--they bleed into each other. A person may be in denial and be quite angry at the same time. Or even be in denial and already depressed about the issue under consideration.
There is also photographic and radar evidence that has been captured at the time of the sighting.
Absolutely!
Keep your supply of tin foil hats handy so they don’t zap you.
BTW, I have drawn no conclusions as to this UFO flap. I am just looking that the information as it comes in.
NO denial reality is a way of life better check for pods under your bed.
I don't think you mean for your sentences to run-on the way they appear to.
You’ve ben playing with the aluminum to long get help.
I can’t figure out why you hate punctuation. Did your 1st grade English teacher send you to the principles’ office the day she taught about periods and commas.;-)
You stray from issues so much your starting to sound like Biden.
Must be in the same blood line.
At least I can use punctution.
