Intelligence Officials Say U.S. Has Retrieved Craft of Non-Human Origin

“A former intelligence official turned whistleblower has given Congress and the Intelligence Community Inspector General extensive classified information about deeply covert programs that he says possess retrieved intact and partially intact craft of non-human origin.”

“The information, he says, has been illegally withheld from Congress, and he filed a complaint alleging that he suffered illegal retaliation for his confidential disclosures, reported here for the first time.”

“he filed a complaint alleging that 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.”

“is a veteran of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO).”

“He served as the reconnaissance office’s representative to the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force from 2019-2021.”

“From late 2021 to July 2022, he was the NGA’s co-lead for UAP analysis and its representative to the task force.”

“Grusch said the recoveries of partial fragments through and up to intact vehicles [have been made for decades] through the present day by the government, its allies, and defense contractors.”

“Analysis has determined that the objects retrieved are “of exotic origin (non-human intelligence, whether extraterrestrial or unknown origin) based on the vehicle morphologies and material science testing and the possession of unique atomic arrangements and radiological signatures,” he said.”

“In accordance with protocols, Grusch provided the Defense Office of Prepublication and Security Review at the Department of Defense with the information he intended to disclose to us. His on-the-record statements were all “cleared for open publication” on April 4 and 6, 2023, in documents provided to us.”

“Grusch prepared many briefs on unidentified aerial phenomena for Congress while in government and helped draft the language on UAP for the [FY2023 National Defense Authorization Act]”

“spearheaded by Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Marco Rubio and signed into law by President Biden in December 2022.”

“Grusch asserted that UFO “legacy programs” have long been concealed within “multiple agencies nesting UAP activities in conventional secret access programs without appropriate reporting to various oversight authorities.””

“He said he reported to Congress on the existence of a decades-long “publicly unknown Cold War for recovered and exploited physical material – a competition with near-peer adversaries over the years to identify UAP crashes/landings and retrieve the material for exploitation/reverse engineering to garner asymmetric national defense advantages.””

“Beginning in 2022, Grusch provided Congress with hours of recorded classified information transcribed into hundreds of pages which included specific data about the materials recovery program.”

“Congress has not been provided with any physical materials related to wreckage or other non-human objects.”

“In May 2022, McCullough filed a Disclosure of Urgent Concern(s); Complaint of Reprisal on behalf of Grusch with the ICIG about detailed information that Grusch had gathered beginning in 2019 while working for the UAP Task Force.”

“The Intelligence Community Inspector General found his complaint “credible and urgent” in July 2022.”

“According to Grusch, a summary was immediately submitted to the Director of National Intelligence, Avril Haines; the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence; and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.”

“Karl E. Nell, a recently retired Army Colonel and current aerospace executive who was the Army’s liaison for the UAP Task Force from 2021 to 2022 and worked with Grusch there, characterizes Grusch as “beyond reproach.””

“characterizes Grusch as “beyond reproach.””

““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,” said Karl Nell, the retired Army Colonel who worked with Grusch on the UAP Task Force.”

“Jonathan Grey is a generational officer of the United States Intelligence Community with a Top-Secret Clearance who currently works for the National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC), where the analysis of UAP has been his focus.”

““The non-human intelligence phenomenon is real. We are not alone,” Grey said.”

““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.””

“Christopher Mellon, who spent nearly twenty 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.”

““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 said.”

“The first briefing he facilitated on retrievals of unexplained objects was provided to staff members of the Senate Armed Services Committee on Oct. 21, 2019, and to staff members of the Senate Intelligence Committee two days later, as [reported] by *The New York Times*.”

“Nolan has previously applied some of those technologies to the analysis of exotic materials, publishing the first peer-reviewed paper examining such materials.”

“In May 2022, Carson presided over the first open Congressional hearing on UAP since 1968.”
