David Grusch, a former intelligence official, told Congress that ‘non-human biologics’ were found at crash sites
Joe Biden’s administration has faced calls to declassify documents related to UFOs, and this month the Senate introduced an amendment to annual defence policy legislation that seeks to do just that.
Three witnesses participated in the hearing . David Grusch,(pictured) a former intelligence official and whistleblower who said last month that the US has “intact and partially intact” alien vehicles, David Fravor, an ex-Navy commander who reported seeing an object flying across the sky during a 2004 training mission, and Ryan Graves, a retired Navy pilot who claims he spotted unidentified aerial phenomena off the Atlantic coast “every day for at least a couple years”.
Mr Grusch claimed individuals have been injured while working on reverse engineering UFOs, but he said he couldn’t get into specifics of how that happened, adding that non-human “biologics” were found along with recovered crafts.
“Non-human biologics” were recovered by the US government from crash sites, according to a former US intelligence official.
David Grusch said he was “absolutely” certain the US government is in possession of non-human vehicles.
Asked at a Congress hearing on UFOs whether the “pilots who piloted this craft” were also found, he said “biologics came with some of the recoveries, yeah”.
He was then asked if the biologics were “human or non-human”.
“Non-human”, he replied, adding: “That was the assessment of people with direct knowledge of the programme I talked to, that are currently still on the programme.”
He said he prefers to use the term “non-human” rather than alien or extraterrestrial.
Mr Grusch was giving evidence at a hearing in which an ex-Navy pilot claimed the US government was “hiding crucial information” about UFOs.
The hearing was announced last week amid increased attention on reported sightings of UFOs – officially known as unidentified aerial phenomena or UAPs.
Mr Grusch, who said he has not personally spotted a UAP, told the panel that he knows of “multiple colleagues” who were injured by UAPs, citing interviews with 40 witnesses over a four-year period.
He said he led Defence Department efforts to analyse reported UAP sightings and was informed of a programme aimed at collecting and reconstructing crashed spacecraft.
He added that the programme had been running for decades and was concealed by the US.
Asked whether the US government had information about extraterrestrial life, Mr Grusch claimed it was likely the US had been aware of “non-human” activity since the 1930s.
Much of the discussion centre on improving processes for reporting unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAPs — the military’s term for UFOS. There were also calls to remove the stigma for aviators who report UAP sightings and to ensure oversight of government programs that investigate them.
Retired Maj. David Grusch, who went from being part of the Pentagon’s Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Task Force to becoming a whistleblower, told the House Oversight Committee’s national security subcommittee that he had been denied access to some government UFO programs but that he knows the “exact locations” of UAPs in U.S. possession.
The Pentagon has denied Mr Grusch’s claims of a cover-up. In a statement, Defence Department spokeswoman Sue Gough said investigators have not discovered “any verifiable information to substantiate claims that any programmes regarding the possession or reverse-engineering of extra-terrestrial materials have existed in the past or exist currently.”
