In December, a leaked photo from a secret Pentagon task force showed a UFO flying near a U.S. Navy jet that military officials admitted could be “alien” or “non-human technology.”

And back in 2020, Eric W. Davis, an astrophysicist who worked as a subcontractor and then a consultant for the Pentagon UFO program, claimed he examined materials that “we couldn’t make it ourselves.”

He also claimed he gave classified briefings to a Defense Department agency in March of 2020 in which the retrieval and examination of “off-world vehicles not made on this earth” were discussed. source

Ex–Intelligence Official Says Government Is Hiding Alien Technology From Congress

The past six years have been a roller coaster for the extraterrestrial-minded in America. In 2017, the New York Times revealed that former senator Harry Reid had previously snuck away $22 million in Defense funding to investigate unidentified foreign objects. Since then, some Navy pilots have come forward to report frequent UFO sightings, while the Pentagon has revamped its investigation process in an effort to take the matter more seriously. The increased scrutiny hasn’t led to any breakthroughs; it turns out many of the objects the pilots sighted were just balloons.

But a new report from Leslie Kean and Ralph Blumenthal — part of the team that broke the Times story in 2017 — gives hope to the alien optimists.
On the science website the Debrief, the pair describe the story of a Defense intelligence whistleblower, David Charles Grusch, who has alleged that the Intelligence Community is hiding classified evidence of “intact and partially intact craft of non-human origin.”In a later interview with NewsNation, Grusch even claimed that the government has evidence of alien life in crashed spacecraft from another planet. “Well, naturally, when you recover something that’s either landed or crashed, smetimes you encounter dead pilots,” he said. “And believe it or not, as fantastical as that sounds, it’s true.”

Grusch claims in a complaint that the Pentagon, other nations, and defense contractors have recovered fragments “of exotic origin (non-human intelligence, whether extraterrestrial or unknown origin) based on the vehicle morphologies and material science testing and the possession of unique atomic arrangements and radiological signatures.” Grusch goes on to state that the “material includes intact and partially intact vehicles.”

While a previous UFO expert in the government might have been discredited, Grusch has bona fides that are worth taking seriously. Grusch is a 36-year-old combat veteran of Afghanistan who was a member of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force, the program run by the Office of Naval Intelligence to investigate UFO sightings. From 2019 to 2021, he served on the task force as the representative of the National Reconnaissance Office, considered one of the big five of the U.S. intelligence agencies. His colleagues think highly of him, too. Karl Nell, a retired Army colonel who was also on the UFO task force, told the Debrief that Grusch was “beyond reproach.” Nell even backed up one of Grusch’s claims in the complaint: that there is an ongoing competition with other countries to “identify [UFO] crashes/landings and retrieve the material for exploitation/reverse engineering.”

“His assertion concerning the existence of a terrestrial arms race occurring sub-rosa over the past eighty years focused on reverse engineering technologies of unknown origin is fundamentally correct,” Nell told the Debrief. “As is the indisputable realization that at least some of these technologies of unknown origin derive from non-human intelligence.” Another intelligence official investigating UFOs, Jonathan Grey, concurred. “The non-human intelligence phenomenon is real. We are not alone,” he said. “This is a global phenomenon, and yet a global solution continues to elude us.”

An unclassified version of the complaint shared with the Debrief states that the evidence of extraterrestrial tech was illegally withheld from congressional oversight by the Intelligence Community in order to “purposely and intentionally thwart legitimate Congressional oversight of the UAP Program.” When Grusch raised the concern, he was subject to months of retaliation. (He requested that the details of that retaliation be withheld “to protect the integrity of the ongoing investigation,” per the report.) An intelligence investigation has been launched in response to his whistleblower complaint. While the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence did not comment, the Pentagon cleared the information in the report in April. (The Debrief has also provided a look into its fact checking and reporting process for the story.)

n ex-U.S. military and intelligence worker has given an interview in which he says that the U.S. has found and covered up several “non-human origin” crafts.

David Grusch, a 36-year-old airforce veteran, told NewsNation on Monday evening that a top-secret military program found the wreckage of fully intact UFOs, or “unidentified aerial phenomena” (UAPs).

“These are retrieving non-human origin technical vehicles, call it spacecraft if you will, non-human exotic origin vehicles that have either landed or crashed,” Grusch said. He added that, in those wreckages, the pilots of the craft were found.

“Well, naturally, when you recover something that’s either landed or crashed, sometimes you encounter dead pilots and, believe it or not, as fantastical as that sounds, it’s true,” the whistleblower said. Grusch previously worked as the National Reconnaissance Office’s representative to the UAP Task Force. He also saw combat in Afghanistan.

There were 510 UAP sightings in 2022, up from the 366 in the previous year, according to a report from the Office for the Director of National Intelligence in January. Only 171 of these were deemed to “appear to have demonstrated unusual flight characteristics or performance capabilities, and require further analysis,” according to the report. The remainder were “balloon-like entities,” or clutter.

Grusch’s claims cannot be verified by Newsweek, but they have kickstarted a discussion on social media about whether aliens could be on our planet.

“The majority of UAPs can be accounted for as balloons, drones, or drifting aerial junk. In some cases, the visual impression is impacted by ‘perspective bias,’ where a slow nearby object looks like a large, rapid, distant object,” Joshua Semeter previously told Newsweek. He is a professor of electrical and computer engineering and director of the Center for Space Physics at Boston University.

“That said, there is a small percentage of observations that remain unexplained. These cases generally involve an object that exhibits unusual flight characteristics—for instance, rapid acceleration, rapid velocity, or extreme maneuverability—characteristics that cannot readily be accounted for through known technologies,” said Semeter, who is also a member of NASA’s independent panel to study UAPs.

The U.S. government has declassified several videos of UAPs in recent months, one of which showing an mysterious orb flying in the Middle East in 2022. The Navy has verified footage released in 2017 by The New York Times and the The Washington Post of a Tic-Tac-shaped craft flying off the coast of California.

Grusch also told NewsNation that the federal government has been lying to the people to cover up the existence of these craft. “There is a sophisticated disinformation campaign targeting the U.S. populace, which is extremely unethical and immoral,” he said.

In 2023, other officials have made similar allegations. In January, a Tennessee Republican congressman Tim Burchett accused the U.S. government of a “huge cover-up” following a rise in UAPs, during an interview also with NewsNation. Burchett told Newsweek in March that he believed “we have recovered a craft at some point, and possible beings.”

And in that same month, Christopher Mellon, a former deputy assistant secretary of Defense for Intelligence, wrote in Politico that he knew of a secret government program “involving the analysis and exploitation of materials recovered from off-world craft.”

In 2020, one defense contractor told the New York Times that he had briefed Defence Department officials, regarding objects from “off-world vehicles not made on this Earth.”

“My personal belief is that there is very compelling evidence that we may not be alone,” Luis Elizondo, the former military intelligence official who led a government UFO program, told CNN in 2017. However, no solid evidence of these claims has yet come to light.

“Without sufficient data, we are unable to reach defendable conclusions that meet the high scientific standards we set for resolution, and I will not close a case that we cannot defend the conclusions of,” Sean M. Kirkpatrick said at a meeting of the subcommittee discussing the declassified government videos in April. He is director of the Pentagon’s newly instated All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO).

“I should also state clearly for the record that, in our research, AARO has found no credible evidence thus far of extraterrestrial activity, off-world technology, or objects that defy the known laws of physics,” Kirkpatrick added. source

Whistleblower: U.S. Has Been Sitting on Recovered ‘Crafts’ of Extraterrestrial, Non-Human Origin for Decades

The whistleblower says that American authorities have retrieved intact and partially intact crafts of alien origin as part of a global arms race to harness technology of so-called ‘non-human origin.’

Intelligence Office Whistleblower Claims U.S. Has UFOs Of Non-Human Origin

36-year-old David Charles Grusch, a veteran of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), claims the United States has retrieved and studied UFOs of non-human origin.

“We are not talking about prosaic origins or identities,” Grusch told The Debrief. “The material includes intact and partially intact vehicles.”

“Grusch claims he has given Congress and the Intelligence Community Inspector General extensive classified information about deeply covert programs that he says possess retrieved intact and partially intact craft of non-human origin,” The Debrief reports.
