UFO hearing: Whistleblower testifies, claims US has possession of ‘non-human’ spacecraft
Washington: The US is concealing a longstanding programme that retrieves and reverse-engineers unidentified flying objects, a former Air Force intelligence officer testified on Wednesday to Congress.
The Pentagon has denied his claims.
Retired Maj David Grusch’s highly anticipated testimony before a House Oversight subcommittee was Congress’s latest foray into the world of UAPs — or “unidentified aerial phenomena,” which is the official term the US government uses instead of UFOs.
While the study of mysterious aircraft or objects often evokes talk of aliens and “little green men”, Democrats and Republicans in recent years have pushed for more research as a national security matter due to concerns that sightings observed by pilots may be tied to US adversaries.
Grusch said he was asked in 2019 by the head of a government task force on UAPs to identify all highly classified programs relating to the task force’s mission. At the time, Grusch was detailed to the National Reconnaissance Office, the agency that operates US spy satellites.
“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,” he said.
Asked whether the US government had information about extraterrestrial life, Grusch said the US likely has been aware of “non-human” activity since the 1930s.
