The former intelligence officer who claims the US government has recovered multiple UFOs of ‘non-human origin’ has also claimed that dead pilots have been retrieved from wreckages.

David Charles Grusch, an Air Force veteran and former member of the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, said the US and other nations are engaged in a top-secret arms race to ‘reverse-engineer’ alien technology. 

He made the extraordinary claims in media interviews this week, after filing a whistleblower complaint providing what he calls classified ‘proof’ to Congress and the Intelligence Community Inspector General.

Grusch, 36, said that in addition to recovering partial and intact extraterrestrial craft for decades, the US government has also retrieved the remains of alien pilots.

‘Naturally, when you recover something that’s either landed or crashed. Sometimes you encounter dead pilots and believe it or not, as fantastical as that sounds, it’s true,’ he told NewsNation. 

Grusch is a former member of the Pentagon’s Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) Task Force, which was tasked with investigating UFOs and has since reorganized into the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), to include investigations of objects operating underwater.

Citing witness statements from numerous current and former intelligence officers, Grusch claims that key information about recovered non-human craft was withheld from the UAP Task Force during his tenure. 

‘I thought it was totally nuts and I thought at first I was being deceived, it was a ruse,’ Grusch told NewsNation. 

‘People started to confide in me. Approach me. I have plenty of senior, former, intelligence officers that came to me, many of which I knew almost my whole career, that confided in me that they were part of a program.’ 

He says that he learned of a secret US program attempting to reverse-engineer alien technology, which was not disclosed to the task force members.

‘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. 

Grusch said he had never seen photos of the alleged recovered craft, but that he had spoken extensively with others who had. 

In a statement to DailyMail.com on Tuesday, Department of Defense spokesperson Sue Gough said: ‘To date, AARO has not discovered any verifiable information to substantiate claims that any programs regarding the possession or reverse-engineering of extraterrestrial materials have existed in the past or exist currently.’

She added that the task force has established a process for individuals to come forward to aid in a congressionally-mandated historical review, which AARO is due to provide to Congress by June 2024. 

‘AARO is committed to following the data and its investigation wherever it leads,’ said Gough.

‘We are not talking about prosaic origins or identities. The material includes intact and partially intact vehicles,’ Grusch told The Debrief, which first reported his claims.

‘The existence of complex historical programs involving the coordinated retrieval and study of exotic materials, dating back to the early 20th century, should no longer remain a secret.’

Grusch, who served in Afghanistan and worked for the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), has handed over details of the alleged operations to Congress and the Intelligence Community Inspector General.

He has also filed a complaint against the Department of Defense and claims he’s been ostracized for his decision to blow the whistle.

The 36-year-old worked on the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force from 2019-2021.

A retired Army Colonel who was also part of the UAP task force, Karl Nell, said: ‘His assertion concerning the existence of a terrestrial arms race occurring sub-rosa over the past eighty years focused on reverse engineering technologies of unknown origin is fundamentally correct, as is the indisputable realization that at least some of these technologies of unknown origin derive from non-human intelligence.’ 

Grusch said that keeping the information secret ‘further inhibits the world populace to be prepared for an unexpected, non-human intelligence contact scenario’.

The claims comes days after a Pentagon chief admitted that unidentified metallic orb UFOs have been spotted ‘all over the world’.

Physicist Dr Sean Kirkpatrick, director of the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), told NASA’s first ever public hearing into the phenomenon: ‘We see these [‘metallic orbs’] all over the world, and we see these making very interesting apparent maneuvers.’

Dr Kirkpatrick presented AARO’s latest findings to NASA’s independent team of scientists and other experts who have been tasked with studying the UFO phenomenon — which has become increasingly less stigmatized following several high-profile congressional hearings and military sightings.

Scientists and policymakers from NASA’s independent panel also discussed their own proposed recommendations to the federal space agency, including: an active effort to remove the stigma surrounding UAP research, as well as a hunt for alien ‘artifacts’ within our solar system.

Meanwhile, it was also revealed at the NASA hearing that the space agency will work closely with the Pentagon’s official UFO investigators on top secret UFO cases.

Dr Kirkpatrick said that the Pentagon is closely collaborating with ‘NASA embeds,’ scientists who have been cleared for work on classified UAP cases where their expertise could help military investigators identify the mysterious craft or events.

Kirkpatrick added that AARO plans to deploy ‘dedicated sensors for typical UAP’ sightings, equipment independent of the existing military defense sensors that have thus far picked up UAP evidence in the course of their normal duties.

Both NASA’s head of science, the space and atmospheric physicist Dr. Nicky Fox, and AARO’s director, Dr. Kirkpatrick, also took time to rebuke unnamed individuals for harassing members of the NASA panel.

Both said that these attitudes, online and among officialdom, have contributed to the continuing social stigma surrounding UAP.

NASA UAP study group member Karlin Toner, senior advisor for data policy integration of the FAA’s Office of Aviation Policy and Plans, recommended that the space agency work to ‘make it safer to explore data’ for any scientists facing the ‘negative stigma’ surrounding UAP.

Toner suggested that the independent panel ‘consider advising NASA to more fully assess the cultural and social barriers to studying and reporting UAP,’ to effectively work hard to end the stigma on UAP research among the scientific community.

NASA, she said, should ‘implement a plan to leverage its brand image to start removing these obstacles.’

Ultimately, however, as the chair of NASA’s independent UAP panel, theoretical astrophysicist David Spergel, described it, their group’s main purpose is to answer this one question: ‘How can NASA contribute to understanding the nature of UAPs?’

He summarized the current state of data collection efforts on UAP as ‘unsystematic’ and ‘fragmented across various agencies’ often using instruments that were fit for their security or safety mandate, but ‘uncalibrated for scientific data collection.

A Republican lawmaker has accused senior U.S. intelligence officials of abusing their power to quash stories about the disgraced first son’s laptop.

Congressman Mike Turner, who represents Ohio in the House of Representatives and is the chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, said some of the country’s top spies wrongly branded reporting by the New York Post as the work of the Kremlin.

The 2020 article broke the news that the 53-year-old appeared to be using his connections to his father to land lucrative business deals abroad. 

Turner was speaking to Fox News about a letter signed by 51 former intelligence officials signed to discredit the reports on Hunter’s leaked emails. 

‘Joe Biden knew that he was lying to the American public, and he used these 51, who had past credentials in intelligence, to claim that something was Russian misinformation’ Turner said.

The head of the House’s intelligence committee said there had been ‘unexplained infusions of money into the Biden family that really has no cause and understanding.’

‘The FBI is — should be looking at these as evidences of a crime. But, in fact, that appears the FBI is being less than helpful, if not obscuring the congressional — obstructing the congressional investigation,’ he added.

The 63-year-old has alleged that Secretary of State Antony Blinken, at the time serving as a Biden campaign adviser, helped to organize the intelligence officials’ public statement.

Turner’s comments came Tim Burchett, a Republican Congressman from Tennessee, said GOP officials had been unable to ‘track down’ one of their key witnesses.

Burchett said the FBI and DOJ have ‘turned a blind eye’ to both the missing informant and the Biden family’s alleged corruption.

‘It’s of the utmost importance that the FBI work with us to be able to try to identify what research they’ve done, what investigations they’ve done, because we have people that want to come forward, but honestly, they fear for their lives,’ he told Fox News.  

Burchett sits on the House of Representatives oversight committee, which is headed by James Comer, a Republican from Kentucky, and it is the elected body’s main investigatory panel.

Comer has already opened an investigation that alleges as many as ten Biden family members benefitted from their connections to the commander-in-chief.

Biden’s business dealings have long irked members of the GOP, who accuse the president’s son of exploiting his family ties to land lucrative contracts abroad.

An anonymous IRS whistleblower, via his lawyer, has said he is willing to testify he is also receiving preferential treatment in a federal investigation into his tax affairs. 

He has previously had business interests in China and Ukraine, although the long-time lobbyist denies any wrongdoing.

The 53-year-old denies exploiting his family connections in order to win contracts abroad

The ex-Navy reservist, booted out of the military in 2014 for testing positive for cocaine, was in the spotlight again last week.

He appeared on the president’s recent trip to Ireland, despite White House officials insisting he would not attend any official events.

Since Joe Biden took office, the administration has insisted the president never speaks to his son about his business dealings and has no involvement in them.

Sources close to the president also say he has never discussed investigations into members of his family with the Justice Department.
