Are we alone in the universe? A former U.S. military and intelligence official doesn’t think so.
Air Force veteran David Grusch, 36, claimed on NewsNation that the U.S. had discovered and hidden many objects of “non-human origin” and that a top-secret military program had found the wreckage of completely intact UFOs, also known as “unidentified aerial phenomena” (UAPs).
“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.
According to him, the federal administration has been deceiving the American public in order to conceal the existence of these craft, part of “a sophisticated disinformation campaign” which he called “extremely unethical and immoral”.
In recent months, the U.S. government has declassified a number of UAP films, one of which depicts an enigmatic orb traveling over the Middle East in 2022. Last year there were 510 UAP sightings, up from 366 the year before, according to a report released in January by the Office for the Director of National Intelligence. Only 171 of them were assessed to “appear to have demonstrated unusual flight characteristics or performance capabilities, and require further analysis,” the paper said. The others were “balloon-like entities,” or clutter.
“Without sufficient data, we are unable to reach defendable conclusions that meet the high scientific standards we set for resolution, and I will not close a case that we cannot defend the conclusions of,” Sean M. Kirkpatrick, who is the director of the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), said at a meeting.
