We write a lot about politics. We haven’t written much on UFOs and space, although you can take a look at what my colleague Brandon Morse wrote about UFOs, as well as what our Andrew Malcolm wore on the fascinating things about the James Webb space telescope.

A decorated former combat officer is coming forward with some explosive news that, if accurate, is truly historic — and it involves some disturbing politics as well.

David Charles Grusch has a very credible resume. He’s an Air Force veteran who worked in the National Reconnaissance Office and served as their representative to Congress’ Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force from 2019-2021. He also worked at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency from 2021 to July 2022 where he was the “co-lead of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) analysis and its representative to the task force, which was recently renamed the All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office.”

That sounds like he should have some idea of what he’s talking about when it comes to unidentified aerial phenomena.

Grusch filed a whistleblower complaint with Congress and the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) on classified information that he says proves the “recoveries of partial fragments through and up to intact vehicles have been made for decades through the present day by the U.S. government, its allies and defense contractors.”

Grusch said that the recovered items have been confirmed to be “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.”

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

Grusch also gave an interview to NewsNation where he said that many intel officers approached him because of his job. They provided documents and told him of a secret retrieval program that the UAP Task Force “was not read into.” Not only were there “quite a few” such craft, but he said that they also recovered “pilots.”

“We are definitely not alone.”

“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.

“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.”

“We’re definitely not alone,” he said. “The data points, quite empirically that we’re not alone.”

Grusch said that there were “legacy programs” that are concealed and haven’t been properly reported to oversight authorities, like Congress. That’s a big problem right there, but it gets worse.

He said he sounded the alarm to Congress on the existence of a decades-long “publicly unknown Cold War for recovered and exploited physical material – a competition with near-peer adversaries over the years to identify UAP crashes/landings and retrieve the material for exploitation/reverse engineering to garner asymmetric national defense advantages.”

“There is a sophisticated disinformation campaign targeting the U.S. populace which is extremely unethical and immoral,” Grusch told News Nation, recognizing a “great personal risk and obvious professional risk” in speaking out publicly on the topic.

He said he’s been providing classified information on the matter to Congress since last year and that some of the people who have come to him have reported a “multitude of wrongdoing” such as “illegal contracting” and other criminality, as well as the suppression of information.

It isn’t only Grusch providing information — some of the people who are part of the recovery program that Grusch spoke about have now also provided information to the Inspector General, corroborating what Grusch said.

“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, as is the indisputable realization that at least some of these technologies of unknown origin derive from non-human intelligence,” Karl Nell, a retired Army Colonel who worked with Grusch on the UAP Task Force, told The Debrief.

According to The Debrief, the Intelligence Community Inspector General found Grusch’s complaint “credible and urgent” in July 2022.

Grusch made one final comment to them that is concerning.

Grusch said it was dangerous for this “eighty-year arms race” to continue in secrecy because it “further inhibits the world populace to be prepared for an unexpected, non-human intelligence contact scenario.”

“I hope this revelation serves as an ontological shock sociologically and provides a generally uniting issue for nations of the world to re-assess their priorities,” Grusch said.

Here’s the full NewsNation interview which is also pretty interesting.

Pentagon UFO whistleblower David Grusch says the United States is in possession of vehicles of non-human origin and bodies of the pilots.
