Close followers of the history of UFO sightings, now acknowledged as UAPs (submersible unidentified anomolous craft are included) by the intelligence community, know that since the famous Roswell, NM encounter in 1947, allegations of alien material and even corpses spirited away from the crash sight and sent to Wright-Paterson AFB for analysis have been repeatedly made. This bombshell revelation by a high-ranking intelligence insider seems to add validity to those claims. Grusch says recoveries up to and including entire vehicles have been made for decades.
Grusch's shocking disclosures represent a growing effort to reveal what the government really knows about UFOs/UAPs after a decades long campaign of disinformation conducted primarily by the USAF (see Project Blue Book). There is an element of distrust involved between civilian leaders and the Pentagon establishment. But some insiders are now willing to take the risk of coming forward for the first time with knowledge of these recovery programs given new protections provided by Congress in the latest appropriations bill. A provision of that bill states that any person with relevant UAP information can inform Congress without retaliation, regardless of any previous non-disclosure agreements. An official with the National Air and Space Intelligence Center at Wright-Paterson told interviewers, “The non-human intelligence phenomenon is real. We are not alone. Retrievals of this kind are not limited to the United States. This is a global phenomenon, and yet a global solution continues to elude us.” According to this USAF intelligence officer, a vast array of advanced, sensitive sensors have been used to observe and identify extra-terrestrial performance of these "anomalous" machines.
Grusch told Congress that during the Cold War there was a competition between adversaries to identify and exploit crash or landing sites for materials that could be reversed engineered to gain "asymmetric national defense advantages". He also says that the program to recover extra-terrestrial material is on-going. He called the effort an "eighty year arms race". Information he has provided has been corroborated by current recovery program members. Grusch left the government in April, 2023, but remains well-supported by his colleagues. ICIG has found his whistleblower complaint to be "credible and urgent", and has forwarded it to the Director of National Intelligence, and the Senate and House Intelligence Committees.
As a result of his disclosures to Congress, Grusch allegedly suffered months of illegal retaliation beginning in 2021. He asked that details of these reprisals be withheld to protect the integrity of the ongoing investigation. Mulder, you were right all along!
