In a congressional hearing, a former American intelligence official, David Grusch, disclosed that the US government had conducted a “multi-decade” program aimed at collecting and reverse-engineering crashed UFOs.
As the issue of alien life reached its highest-profile discussion to date, Grusch, who previously led the analysis of unexplained anomalous phenomena within the US Department of Defense agency, revealed that “non-human” beings had been discovered.
The hearing, triggered by Grusch’s claims in June, explored the alleged secrecy surrounding alien spacecraft harbored by the government.
Under oath, Grusch reiterated some of his previous claims, stating, “I was informed, in the course of my official duties, of a multi-decade UAP crash retrieval and reverse-engineering program, to which I was denied access.”
Grusch’s allegations had led to intense global interest and sparked an immediate investigation by the Republican-led oversight committee.
The hearing exposed the struggles faced in obtaining information from government agencies regarding UFOs.
Grusch also expressed facing severe retaliation for his allegations, causing both professional and personal harm.
Despite the intrigue surrounding the hearing, some skeptics cautioned against drawing hasty conclusions.
While Grusch revealed that the government possessed “non-human” biologics from recovered UFOs, his claims under oath appeared more guarded than in previous media interviews.
The hearing also featured witnesses, a former Navy commander, David Fravor, and a retired Navy pilot, Ryan Graves, both recounting their sightings of unidentified aerial phenomena.
Although the Pentagon denies any cover-up, the debate on the existence of UFOs continues with passionate advocates and lingering doubts about the government’s ability to keep extraordinary secrets.
