After more than four hours in which the United States Congress turned one of its hearings into alien territory, a question of logic remained in the air after the session dedicated to unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), the UFOs of the entire life, to force the government to give more information. Where are the aliens?
One of the witnesses, David Grusch, a former Air Force intelligence officer, testified under oath that for decades the United States government “maintained a program to hide ships” from other galaxies, and even “non-human biological remains.” ” since the thirties of the last century, although he accepted that he knew about this because someone told him, since he was denied access.
So the options, among other answers, are that the beings from outer space are either already infiltrated in society, or they are very intelligent to travel millions of kilometers but incapable of surviving on Earth, or, simply, given what there is here, they prefer to stay as far away as possible.
There was a certain circus air, after weeks of fostering an atmosphere of conspiracy and incipient threat. “Alien ships have the technology to turn us into a coal stone,” Republican Tim Burchett, one of the leaders of the House Oversight Subcommittee investigation, said a few days ago. This Wednesday, however, he joked. “We’re not going to bring little green men or flying saucers,” he said. While Glenn Grothman, chair of the session, welcomed “the most exciting subcommittee this week on Capitol Hill.”
In the rostrum there were spectators from various countries before the more than expected testimony of Grush once it came to light in the media last June and which led to this hearing.
The former intelligence officer, who was in the Department of Defense until 2023, filed a complaint for the concealment of information in 2022 and, upon discovering that he was going to be subjected to a disciplinary process, became a “whistleblower” or secret leaker. In his appearance, he assured that in 2019 he was required by the head of the force that investigates the UAPs to register all highly classified programs related to the task force’s mission. He then was assigned to the National Reconnaissance Office, an agency that operates spy satellites.
“I was made aware, in the course of my official duty, of material recovery from accidents and a reverse engineering program, to which I was denied access,” he stated. He replied that the US government has information about extraterrestrial life and that the executive has been “aware of non-human activity” since the 1930s.
Grush insisted that the government recovered alien beings along with alien vehicles. “Do we have the bodies of the pilots of those ships?” they asked. “As I’ve already said publicly, biologics came in with some of these recoveries,” he replied. Those biological producers, he clarified, were “non-human” and, he specified that “this is how the people with direct knowledge, with whom I spoke and who are still in the program, alluded to them.”
However, the effect of the oath made him be much less audacious when it came to speaking compared to the interview he gave to “NewsNation”, the origin of all this commotion, where he argued that the US administration has an alien ship the size of a football field. In “Le Parisien” he later went on to say that the US is in possession of a bell-shaped vehicle that Mussolini recovered in northern Italy.
In Congress, he maintained that he felt fear for his life, “definitely” and that he suffered brutal reprisals. “They hurt me professionally and personally,” he stressed. He confessed that others “have been harmed” by the official efforts to hide the UFOs, but he refused to publicly recount these revenge tactics in a more specific way, nor to report if anyone has died as a result of this repression or to give names of colleagues with knowledge of the findings. He justified that it is secret material and could face criminal punishment. “I can’t talk about it in open session,” he said.
Susan Goug, a Pentagon spokeswoman, denied any cover-up, stressing in a statement that the Defense Department task force “does not have any verifiable information to substantiate claims that any programs related to the possession or reverse engineering of extraterrestrial materials existed or exists now.”
The former combat pilots David Fravor and Ryan Graves also participated in the session, who in 2017 and 2018 already explained to “The New York Times” their encounters with unidentified objects that had an acceleration capacity that they had not seen never.
Neither of them speculated on the origin of what they saw, although Graves remarked that “our sky is full of UFOs, they are not rare or isolated, but they are very little reported.” Many of the sightings, according to his version, are not reported for fear of the pilots being classified as outcasts.
The two reported these incidents to the Pentagon at the time, an agency that has compiled many other unexplained incidents. Due to pressure from Congress, the military command has already produced a report in which it concluded that a good part of these elements are airborne debris, Chinese espionage devices or weather balloons. In that document it was accepted that there was ignorance about certain objects, but in any case they denied their extraterrestrial origin.
The session ended without reliable evidence of the existence of the so-called little green men. There was a consensus between representatives of the two parties, something very rare in these times of confrontation, that the executive should be more transparent when explaining these phenomena for security reasons. “We cannot trust a government that does not trust its citizens,” Burchett proclaimed. “We must end the wild speculation about UFOs, which does not benefit anyone,” Grothman concluded.
