Military whistleblower alleges the government is concealing extraterrestrial spacecraft

A man on the military's Unindentified Aerial Phenomena task force is coming forward as a whistleblower to allege the United States government has been secretly retrieving extraterrestrial spacecraft, reported The Daily Beast on Monday.

"Dave Grusch, an Air Force veteran and former member of the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, is identifying himself publicly for the first time Monday after the story was first reported by The Debrief," said the report. "Following the piece, he’s made bombshell claims during an interview with NewsNation’s Ross Coulthart, set to air Monday night. He claims that a number of high-level intelligence officers approached him with evidence, including oral testimony and physical documentation of a crash-retrieval program that was being hidden from the UAP task force."

“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,” said Grusch, who also said in the interview that he has filed a formal whistleblower complaint with Congress and the Intelligence Community Inspector General.

NASA and other space-related agencies have denied any such thing has happened.

"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," said The Debrief. "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."

While there is not any public evidence to support Grusch's claims, UAPs, more popularly known as unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, have become a routine sight, mainly by Air Force pilots. Some of them are ultimately explainable, but many have an unclear origin. The sightings have become so common there is even a nonprofit support group set up for pilots who have had such encounters.
