Known forUFO claims

In June 2023, United States Air Force (USAF) officer and former intelligence official David Grusch claimed, based on classified information he says was provided to him by colleagues, that the U.S. federal government maintains a secretive UFO (or UAP) retrieval program and is in possession of "non-human" spacecraft and "dead pilots". In 2022, Grusch filed a complaint with the U.S. Office of the Intelligence Community Inspector General so that he could share classified information with the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. Grusch also filed a complaint alleging retaliation by his superiors over a similar complaint that he made in 2021. In June 2023 members of the U.S. House of Representatives announced plans for the House Oversight Committee to investigate the matter.

In more allegations, Grusch said that he saw documents reporting that Benito Mussolini's government recovered a "non-human" spacecraft that the Vatican and Five Eyes assisted the U.S. in procuring. According to Grusch, there was an ongoing concern among the people he talked to that Americans had been killed to protect the secret over the years, adding that he heard "some really un-American things". In response to Grusch's June 2023 claims, both the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) issued statements saying respectively that no evidence has been found for extraterrestrial life or for the possession or reverse engineering of any extraterrestrial materials.

Background

Before David Grusch made public claims in June 2023 about the U.S. federal government maintaining a secretive UFO retrieval program for decades and being in possession of "non-human" spacecraft and "dead pilots", Grusch had served the in U.S. Air Force and as a former intelligence official. As Penn State history professor Greg Eghigian notes, there have been many instances over recent decades in the U.S. of people "who previously worked in some kind of federal department" coming forward to make "bombshell allegations" about the truth regarding UFOs, and the whistleblower claims by Grusch fit this pattern.[1] Eghigian writes that "the crusading whistleblower dedicated to breaking the silence over the alien origins of unidentified flying objects" is a kind of American public figure that was first invented in the 1950s.[2] As Wired reported, in the most recent questions related to UFOs within Congress just prior to the claims from Grusch, some legislators had felt the need to push Defense Department officials on questions about UAPs in relation to "the four objects the Air Force shot down within an eight-day period" in February 2023.[3]

In his complaint, David Grusch accused Sean Kirkpatrick (pictured), the director of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, of withholding information from Congress

Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,[4] Grusch was a decorated combat officer within the USAF during the War in Afghanistan and is a veteran of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO).[5] From 2019 to 2021, he was the representative of the NRO to the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force.[6] From late 2021 to July 2022, he was the co-lead for UAP analysis at the NGA and its representative to the task force.[6] He assisted in drafting the National Defense Authorization Act of 2023, [7] which includes provisions for reporting of UFOs, including whistleblower protections and exemptions to non-disclosure orders and agreements.[8][9] It also requires the military to review UFO sightings back to 1945.[10] Grusch left the government on April 7, 2023.[11]

In June 2021, while serving as the National Reconnaissance Office representative to the UAP Task Force, Grusch filed a whistleblower complaint with the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG).[11][12] In it, he maintained that UFO-related classified information "has been withheld and/or concealed from Congress by 'elements' of the intelligence community 'to purposely and intentionally thwart legitimate Congressional oversight of the UAP Program'".[11] In February 2022 the law firm Compass Rose Legal Group, including partner Charles McCullough, a former ICIG, began to represent Grusch in connection with his complaint "and associated personnel matters".[12] In June 2023 Compass Rose announced that it had "successfully concluded its representation" of Grusch in the matter.[12]

In May 2022 McCullough filed a "Disclosure of Urgent Concern(s); Complaint of Reprisal" on Grusch's behalf with the IGIC.[11] The complaint, submitted under oath, was classified, with the website The Debrief[lower-alpha 1] later seeing an unclassified version of it.[11] The May 2022 complaint alleged that Grusch had been retaliated against, beginning in 2021, for his earlier complaint alleging that information was illegally withheld from Congress.[11] In July 2022 the ICIG found his complaint to be "credible and urgent" and Grusch said that the complaint was distributed to the Director of National Intelligence, as well as the Senate Intelligence Committee and the House Intelligence Committee.[11]

Compass Rose said that the whistleblower complaint, and its representation of Grusch, were "narrowly-scoped" and focused on Grusch's contention that "elements of the Intelligence Community improperly withheld or concealed alleged classified information" from Congress.[12] In a statement issued after Grusch gave interviews in June 2023, the law firm said:

The whistleblower disclosure did not speak to the specifics of the alleged classified information that Mr. Grusch has now publicly characterized, and the substance of that information has always been outside of the scope of Compass Rose's representation. Compass Rose took no position and takes no position on the contents of the withheld information. The ICIG found Mr. Grusch's assertion that information was inappropriately concealed from Congress to be urgent and credible in response to the filed disclosure. Compass Rose brought this matter to the ICIG's attention through lawful channels and successfully defended Mr. Grusch against retaliation[12]

Grusch's public claims

On June 5, 2023, Leslie Kean and The New York Times reporter Ralph Blumenthal, who had previously collaborated on a 2017 story by The New York Times that revealed the existence of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, provided a story detailing Grusch's claims to The Debrief where they reported that, "Grusch provided Congress with hours of recorded classified information transcribed into hundreds of pages which included specific data about the materials recovery program" and that several "current members of the recovery program spoke to the Inspector General's office and corroborated the information Grusch had provided for the classified complaint".[11]

The New York Times, Politico, and The Washington Post all declined to publish the story, on the basis that they needed more time to complete their editing and verification processes. Kean interviewed Karl Nell, a retired Army colonel who was also on the UFO task force, and "Jonathan Grey" (a pseudonym). According to Kean, "Grey" is a current U.S. intelligence official at the National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC). Kean wrote that Nell called Grusch "beyond reproach" and that Nell supported Grusch's claim that the U.S. was engaged in ongoing competition with other countries to "identify [UFO] crashes/landings and retrieve the material for exploitation/reverse engineering". According to Kean, "Grey" said, "The non-human intelligence phenomenon is real. We are not alone. This is a global phenomenon, and yet a global solution continues to elude us".[14][15]

Australian investigative journalist and author Ross Coulthart conducted the interview with Grusch released by NewsNation in June 2023

On June 5 an initial interview of Grusch by Ross Coulthart aired on NewsNation. Additional excerpts from this same interview aired on June 11.[4] Grusch's statements during the interview had been pre-authorized for release by the Department of Defense, as they did not contain classified information. The DoD stressed that allowing Grusch to speak did not imply that his claims were accurate.[16][17]

In the interview, Grusch claimed that the U.S. federal government maintains a highly secretive UFO retrieval program and possesses multiple spacecraft of non-human origin as well as corpses of deceased pilots.[18][19][20][21] Interviewer Coulthart stated on June 9 that he himself considered Grusch to be "highly credible" and that he believed Grusch's claims to be true.[22] Coulthart has covered UFO stories in the past, and in 2021 he authored "In Plain Sight: an investigation into UFOs and impossible science".

Asked whether any bodies had been recovered, Grusch answered, "When you recover something that's either landed or crashed, sometimes you encounter dead pilots. Believe or not, as fantastical as that sounds, it's true".[18] In a pre-taped, 40-minute segment of the interview that aired on June 11, Grusch said that the UFOs could be coming from extra dimensions; that Pope Pius XII had "back-channeled" the existence of a vehicle crashed in Italy in 1933 to the United States; that he had spoken with intelligence officials whom the U.S. military had briefed on "very large" crafts ("like a football-field kind of size"); that the U.S. government transferred some vehicles to "a cleared defense contractor" to provide "some analysis" to the government (an alleged arrangement that Grusch claimed was "totally unethical"); and that there was evidence of aggressive or "malevolent activity" by UFOs.[23] Grusch claimed there was "substantive evidence that white-collar crime" was committed to conceal UFO programs and that he had interviewed officials who said that people were killed "over the years" to conceal the programs.[23]

Grusch stated the oldest UFO case on which he had been briefed was a spacecraft in Magenta, Italy, in 1933, which had been kept by the government of Benito Mussolini until the U.S. Office of Strategic Services (OSS) obtained it between 1944 and 1945.[17][16] He also asserted that secretive U.S. programs aim to use materials "of exotic origin" to understand the workings of the crafts.[17] These claims as well as content from the initial NewsNation interview had been hinted on June 5 before the publication of any interviews.[24]

Grusch elaborated on his claims in a subsequent interview with mainstream French newspaper Le Parisien on June 7. Asked by journalist Gaël Lombart which nations had participated in the Italian incident, Grusch stated that it was the Five Eyes,[17] an intelligence alliance comprising Australia , Canada , New Zealand, the United Kingdom , and the United States.[25]

United States government responses

Department of Defense and NASA statements

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre referred questions about Grusch's complaint to the Department of Defense.[26] DoD released a statement stating, "To date, AARO (All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office) has not discovered any verifiable information to substantiate claims that any programs regarding the possession or reverse-engineering of any extraterrestrial materials have existed in the past or exist currently. AARO is committed to following the data and its investigation wherever it leads".[27]

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) stated, "One of NASA's key priorities is the search for life elsewhere in the universe, but so far, NASA has not found any credible evidence of extraterrestrial life and there is no evidence that UAPs are extraterrestrial. However, NASA is exploring the solar system and beyond to help us answer fundamental questions, including whether we are alone in the universe".[28]

Congressional plans and comments from members

In response to Grusch's claims, Mike Turner (R-OH), chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said that "every decade there's been individuals who've said the United States has such pieces of unidentified flying objects that are from outer space" and that "there's no evidence of this and certainly it would be quite a conspiracy for this to be maintained, especially at this level".[29] Representative Tim Burchett (R-Tennessee ), said that he had "a commitment" from both House speaker Kevin McCarthy and House Oversight Committee chair James Comer to hold a hearing on UFOs, despite the fact that this was not a top priority for party leaders.[3]

House Oversight Committee spokesman Austin Hacker said, "In addition to recent claims by a whistleblower, reports continue to surface regarding unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). The House Oversight Committee is following these UFO reports and is in the early stages of planning a hearing".[29][15]

Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) said, "I'm not surprised, necessarily, by these latest allegations, because it sounds pretty close to what they kind of grudgingly admitted to us in the briefing". He gave further indication of an upcoming hearing on the issue by adding, "It's not good. None of it's good. I think we want to get to the bottom of this".[3] Some senators, though not concerned about Grusch's specific claims, were alarmed by the prospect that Congress had not been briefed on special access programs.[3] Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), who led a Senate hearing on UFOs in April 2023, said she intends to hold a hearing to assess whether "rogue SAP programs" existed "that no one is providing oversight for". Lawmakers from both parties[lower-alpha 2] were also "disturbed by reports of UAPs hovering over U.S. military sites".[3][30]

Media reporting and commentary on Grusch's claims

Response from science and academia

Israeli-American Harvard theoretical physicist Avi Loeb, leader of the The Galileo Project that purports to investigate UFO sightings among other extraordinary claims, noted, like the DoD and NASA, that nothing extraterrestrial had been observed

The Guardian printed an opinion piece by Stuart Clark about Grusch's claims which included questions from three scientists. Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb, who co-founded The Galileo Project, which watches the sky around the clock looking for anything that moves, noted that nothing extraterrestrial has been observed. Radio astronomer Michael Garrett noted that crashed landings of alien craft "would imply that there must be hundreds of them coming every day, and astronomers simply don't see them". Sara Russell, a planetary scientist from the Natural History Museum in London, said that, "if you give me an alloy, it would take me less than half an hour to tell you what elements are in it", and that "it should be easy to understand whether something falling to Earth is man-made or extraterrestrial, and if it is the latter, whether it is naturally occurring or not".[31]

Greg Eghigian, a history professor at Penn State who has written about the history of the UFO phenomenon,[32] notes that "the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office, an office within the purview of the Department of Defence set up to investigate UAPs, has denied all of the claims made by Grusch". He "encourages caution" with this story and noted that claims similar to this by similarly credentialed claimants have been made on an ongoing since the 1950s without further corroboration. Eghigian doubts the veracity of these claims saying, "It looks like Grusch followed Pentagon protocol in publishing this information, meaning that the Department of Defence approved the information he would pass on to the press, which is something the department only does if the information is not classified. If Grusch is telling the truth, surely this information would be classified, and the department would not have allowed him to go on the record". At the same time, Eghigian points out that the larger conversation is evolving in what he calls "a sea change" over the past six years as "close to a majority of academics now believe that the study of UFOs warrants scholarly research".[33]

Disinformation campaign allegations

Grusch and others have published dueling allegations about the existence of a UFO disinformation campaign. On one side, Grusch says this so-called campaign is being used against the public to oppose the veracity of "non-human" (or alien) claims[34], while on the other side, proponents claim this campaign is being used for opposite reasons—to feed Grusch disinformation about aliens to encourage the public to believe in the extraordinary claim of aliens and crashed ships for ulterior motives. Grusch told Ross Coulthart, "There is a sophisticated disinformation campaign targeting the U.S. populace which is extremely unethical and immoral".[18] Adam Gabbatt of The Guardian described Grusch's position as "a common conspiracy trope in the UFO community".[21] Dani Di Placido noted that this conspiracy trope is rooted in science fiction, and is weakened by Grusch's own position. "Grusch's claims of a vast, insidious cover-up, so secret that others have been murdered to protect it, is undermined by the fact he has been given a platform to broadcast these claims".[35]

The New York Times columnist Ross Douthat alleged that the disinformation campaign might be coming from the U.S. government, but for reasons that are the opposite of those claimed by Grusch. "There is clearly now a faction within the national security complex", wrote Douthat, "that wants Americans to think there might be alien spacecraft, to give these stories credence rather than dismissal".[36] Douthat speculated that the reason why such stories continue to circulate and have currency over time has various explanations, ranging from being used to justify increased military spending or as a psy-op to "discredit critics of the national security state", among other possibilities.[36] Andrew Follett, writing for National Review, suggested the possibility of a government psy-op, arguing that Grusch's claims and those who promote them bear "an ominous similarity to previous well-documented misinformation campaigns by the government", particularly the campaign against Paul Bennewitz.[37] Gareth Nicholson, editor for the South China Morning Post, explored some of the military and technological reasons for the purported existence of such a campaign, "the current UAP flap could be an attempt by the US military to engage in a disinformation campaign to disguise real aerospace breakthroughs or an attempt to flush out advanced technologies held by rivals such as Russia and China ".[38]

Response from an Air Force veteran with a UFO story

On June 17, 2023, the Minot Daily News published reactions to the Grusch claims from retired U.S. Air Force Captain David Schindele, who was a Minuteman I intercontinental ballistic missile launch crew commander. Schindele spent six-and-a-half years writing a book about a UFO experience that he recalls from 1966 that was reported in the Minot Daily News as a local story that same year. His book It Never Happened, Volume 1: U.S. Air Force UFO Cover-up Revealed was published several years ago. In his 2023 interview about the Grusch claims, Schindele said that he has "nothing but tremendous gratitude, admiration and respect for UFO whistleblower David Grusch". He added, "It is my hope that David Grusch will become a national hero in his release of a 'monumental secret,' which is something the American people should have known about long ago".[39]

Mainstream media reporting

Ezra Klein, a columnist with the New York Times , who interviewed Kean for his podcast on June 20, 2023

Ezra Klein, a columnist with the New York Times , posted a podcast interview with Kean on June 20, 2023 noting that "the main reactions" to her recent story about Grusch "have been to either embrace it as definitive truth or dismiss it out of hand" and that he wants to ask, "What is actually being claimed here? Which claims have evidence, and which don't? How does this story fit into the broader context of U.F.O. revelations over the past few years?". In the interview, Kean tells Klein that Garry Nolan knows and respects Grusch, and Kean reiterates to Klein that "Jonathan Grey" is a pseudonym for an intelligence official who, like Grusch, says that he has seen documentation (but no direct evidence) of the claims that the U.S. government possesses "non-humann" spacecraft. Kean also recounts to Klein why she published her story in the The Debrief. Klein asks a series of skeptical questions and gets some acknowledgment from Kean regarding aspects of the allegations by Grusch that do not make sense.[40]

Nick Pope, a journalist and investigator of UFO phenomena for the U.K. Ministry of Defense, was among the first to comment on Grusch's allegations stressing the lack of evidence

Interviewed by The Guardian on June 6 and 8, British journalist Nick Pope said that, during his time in the early 1990s investigating UFOs for the U.K. Ministry of Defense, he "had seen no hard evidence of non-human craft or materials", but hoped that Grusch's allegations would bring UFO investigations closer to a conclusion and said that the accounts by Grusch and Grey of alien materials was "very significant".[28] In another interview, Pope stated that the upcoming hearing by the U.S. House of Representatives will be unlikely to determine whether Grusch's allegations are correct, because individuals asked to testify may decline to comment on the ongoing investigations connected to the formal complaint filed by Grusch in 2021. Regarding what information is required to determine the validity of Grusch's claims, Pope explained, "Number one is the project name or office name. Number two is who is the person in charge of that – the director, the commanding officer, whoever it is. Thirdly, what agency is it embedded in?"[15] Writing for The Atlantic on June 7, Marina Koren characterized The Debrief as a website "that says it specializes in frontier science and describes itself as self funded". According to Koren, this case fits a long pattern of previous unprovable claims and that, "so far, the best evidence [Grusch has] come up with, besides his own word, is the government's denial".[41] Conservative political commentator Tucker Carlson stated during his first show on Twitter on June 6, "UFOs are actually real, and apparently so is extraterrestrial life. Now we know".[42]

Andrew Prokop wrote in Vox on June 10 that "skeptics question whether Grusch is just repeating tall tales that have long circulated through the UFO-believing community, suggesting he may be just a gullible sap (if not an outright fabulist). They also point out that prestigious media sources have so far remained wary of Grusch – the New York Times, Washington Post, and Politico were all offered his story but none thought it was publishable. The Debrief, which published it, is a notably UFO-friendly outlet, as are Leslie Kean and Ralph Blumenthal, the two journalists who wrote the story. And purported bombshells like this in the past have tended to fizzle out".[43] The New York Times columnist Ross Douthat noted in a June 10 opinion piece that it sometimes looks as if the U.S. government wants us to believe in UFOs and also observed strong parallels between Grusch's claims and recent claims by Stanford pathology professor Garry Nolan, among others.[36]

Surrounding the June 11 release of more Coulthart interview content, NewsNation included multiple voices. Skeptical investigator Mick West was included in June 8 and 11 interviews[44] and said, "I don't think what [Grusch is] saying is accurate" and that, while "it's possible he's believing what he's saying, it's an incredible story that really needs some actual verification".[45] Author Michael Shellenberger also appeared in multiple interviews, including one with Brian Entin of NewsNation on June 11,[44] saying that he had spoken to "some of the same sources that have been feeding Mr. Grusch information" and that they claimed that the U.S. government possesses "at least 12 to 15 non-human aircraft" with "at least four morphologies, different structures" and that "six were in good shape; six were not in good shape". Shellenberger stated to NewsNation on June 11 that he remained skeptical of Grusch's claims but was reporting what he (Shellenberger) had from overlapping sources.[46]

Tom Rogan, writing in the Washington Examiner on June 12, was skeptical regarding the extent of Grusch's claims, but said that they should be further investigated and that, although he has "been unable to confirm it", he believes that "the U.S. government is in possession of UFO-related materials of exotic design".[47] On June 12, Matt Stieb, writing for New York, described Grusch's claims in Coulthart's interview as "crazy".[23] Matt Laslo, writing for Wired on June 13, described the sympathetic hearing of Grusch's claims by some members of Congress as an indication that in "our strange new political universe of alternative facts turned dystopian reality, once-fringe notions have built-in fan bases in today's Capitol".[3] Dani Di Placido, writing for Forbes on June 13, concluded that "Grusch has provided no evidence for his claims, which are suspiciously close to common science fiction tropes, and should be recognized as such".[35]

Outside the United States, the story received attention from multiple foreign mainstream news outlets, among which were Denmark ,[48][49][50][51] Germany ,[52][53][54] France ,[17][16] the Netherlands,[24] Sweden[55][56] and Norway .[57][58]
