The Western Standard recently published an article about Stanford professor, Garry Nolan, who said he believes aliens have been visiting earth for year and he “100% believes they live among us.”.Now, US Air Force veteran, former intelligence officer and current whistleblower David Charles Grusch has come forward, claiming the US government has in its possession extraterrestrial craft, and has for decades..It’s part of a UFO retrieval program the government has allegedly been trying to keep under wraps, said Grusch, telling NewsNation he recently turned over “proof” of the alleged covert program to Congress and the inspector general of the Intelligence Community as part of a whistleblower complaint.. UFOUFO .“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 Monday of the so-called secret program’s activities, suggesting more than just vehicles were found in some cases, reports The New York Post..“Well, 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 said. “We’re definitely not alone. The data points quite empirically that we’re not alone.”.At one time Grusch worked on the US government’s Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) task force, but did not provide any evidence to back up his claims, which were first reported on by science site The Debrief earlier Monday..He did confess that he hadn’t actually seen photos of the alleged extraterrestrial craft, but had spoken at length with intelligence officials who had allegedly come forward to him, says The Post..The Debrief says Grusch said the information about gathering UFOs “has been illegally withheld from Congress, and he filed a complaint alleging he suffered illegal retaliation for his confidential disclosures, reported here for the first time.”.“Other intelligence officials, both active and retired, with knowledge of these programs through their work in various agencies, have independently provided similar, corroborating information, both on and off the record,” reported The Debrief..“I thought it was totally nuts and I thought at first I was being deceived, it was a ruse,” Grusch said of the alleged program. “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.”.Christopher Mellon, who spent nearly 20 years in the U.S. Intelligence Community and served as the deputy assistant secretary of Defense for Intelligence, has worked with Congress for years on unidentified aerial phenomena, says The Debrief, which spoke to Mellon..“A number of well-placed current and former officials have shared detailed information with me regarding this alleged program, including insights into the history, governing documents and the location where a craft was allegedly abandoned and recovered,” Mellon told The Debrief..“However, it is a delicate matter getting this potentially explosive information into the right hands for validation. This is made harder by the fact that, rightly or wrongly, a number of potential sources do not trust the leadership of the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO)established by Congress.”.Grusch’s story was shot down by a Department of Defence spokeswoman, who told The Post in a statement the AARO, formerly the UAP task force, “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.”.“AARO is committed to following the data and its investigation wherever it leads. AARO, working with the Office of the General Counsel and the Air Force Office of Special Investigations, has established a safe and secure process for individuals to come forward with information to aid AARO in its congressionally mandated historical review,” continued the statement..“AARO welcomes the opportunity to speak with any former or current government employee or contractor who believes they have information relevant to the historical review.”.AARO director Sean Kirkpatrick revealed at a public NASA meeting late last month only a tiny fraction of the hundreds of UFO sightings reported over the past three decades are actually unexplainable, reports The Post, adding of the 800 sightings reported to the Department of Defense over the past 27 years, just 2% to 5% were “possibly really anomalous.”.A 16-member group of scientists and independent experts has been investigating UFOs and met in Washington, DC, last month for “final deliberations” before releasing a report detailing the findings of its nine-month UFO investigation, which is slated to be published in July, reports The Post.
