A former US intelligence official has come forward with claims that the government has a clandestine UFO crash retrieval program which has recovered craft of non-human origin and, in some instances, their alien pilots. The remarkable revelations have been put forward by Air Force Veteran David Charles Grusch, who served as the senior technical adviser for Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) analysis for the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency as well as a senior officer for the National Reconnaissance Office. His stunning assertions were first detailed at length by the website The Debrief and then extrapolated further in an television interview with journalist Ross Coulthart (seen above).
Grusch says that he came to learn about the crash retrieval program during his time investigating UAP for the aforementioned intelligence agencies. According to the whistleblower, analysis of the recovered craft, which allegedly varied from debris to partially-intact vehicles, found that they were "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." Grusch indicated that the crash retrieval program is part of a long-running "publicly unknown Cold War for recovered and exploited physical material" gleaned from downed UFOs.
Reflecting on his discovery of the program, he told Coulthart that "I thought it was totally nuts and I thought at first I was being deceived," but his opinion changed when "plenty of senior, former intelligence officers" told him that they had been a part of the crash retrieval efforts. Amazingly, Grusch said, not only were otherworldly craft retrieved from these incidents, but "when you recover something that's either landed or crashed, sometimes you encounter dead pilots." In response to concerns from "individuals on these UAP programs" regarding the legality of these efforts, Grusch turned over a wealth of classified information to Congress regarding the clandestine retrievals and the findings that resulted from them.
Grusch says that he was subsequently subjected to retaliation for his whistleblowing efforts, which led to him filing a complaint with the Intelligence Community Inspector General wherein in his story was detailed "under the penalties of perjury." After ultimately leaving the government in April of 2023, the former intelligence official informed the appropriate agencies that he planned to share this fantastic information with the public which, intriguingly, they approved for him to do so. Alas, given the classified nature of the program, Grusch is unable to provide any documents or photos which could confirm his account, but insisted to Coulthart that "I am for real. I am sitting here at great personal risk and obvious professional risk by talking to you today."
