A former intelligence community official testified on an alleged covert program to recover and reverse engineer crashed alien spacecraft. David Grusch said he was informed of the alleged program through his duties but was denied access to information.
The remarks came during a bipartisan hearing held by the House Oversight Committee's national security subcommittee. The three witnesses included Grusch, David Fravor, a former commanding officer in the U.S. Navy, and Ryan Graves, executive director of Americans for Safe Aerospace.
Grusch asserted the U.S. government first became aware of non-human intelligence in the 1930s. When asked by Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., if he has met people with direct knowledge of non-human-origin craft, Grusch said yes. When asked who the committee should call to testify in their next hearing, Grusch said he could provide a "cooperative and hostile list of individuals in the government who you should talk to."
Kirkpatrick recently told ABC News the vast majority of UAP sightings are readily explainable, with just 2% to 5% of reports containing unexplained anomalies. Also, he downplayed the existence of a secret program he may not be aware of.believe and have stated -- and we believe them now -- that they have seen something. And we are investigating," Kirkpatrick said.
