US Has UFO Retrieval Program, Claims Pentagon Whistleblower

A prominent former member of the United States Intelligence Community (IC) says the U.S. government is in possession of intact aircraft not made of this Earth and the bodies of their non-human pilots.

“I thought it was totally nuts, and I thought at first I was being deceived,” Air Force veteran David Grusch, 36, said after allegedly being told of the above top secret program by senior intelligence officials.

Then, Grusch says, more people — including trusted confidants — stepped forward.

“People started to confide in me. Approach me. I have plenty of senior, former intelligence officers that came to me, many of which I knew almost my whole career, that confided in me that they were part of a program,” he claimed.

Grusch said the officers told him of a project he had never heard of before, one he says the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) Task Force should’ve been informed of — but wasn’t.

A decorated combat veteran of the War in Afghanistan, Grusch says he saw evidence of extraterrestrial life while working at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). He served as the NRO’s representative to the UAP Task Force from 2019-2021. From 2021-2022, he represented NGA as the agency’s co-lead for UAP analysis and was its representative on the task force.

Grusch filed a whistleblower complaint, stating he shared “proof” of his findings with Congress and the Intelligence Community Inspector General.

Grusch’s interview with award-winning investigative journalist Ross Coulthart aired last night after New York Times bestselling author Leslie Kean first reported his story.

“There is a sophisticated disinformation campaign targeting the U.S. populace, which is extremely unethical and immoral,” he told Coulthart at one point.

Newsweek has more on the startling claims:

“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.

…

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.

However, Semeter went on to say, “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.”
