US Congressional hearing on UAPs
Posted: Wed Jul 26, 2023 6:01 pm
The US congress has just held a hearing with witnesses and a whistleblower testifying under oath on the subject of UFOs / UAPs and the government's supposed knowledge and recovery of them. For anyone who pays attention to the topic, this is a landmark moment - not because anything new was revealed (at least not in the public hearing), but because of the context of how this is being dealt with.
This is the full hearing:

There's much to speculate on, and I don't have a tinfoil hat to hand, so I'll try to stick to the facts because some of this is wild, regardless of what (or who) you believe.
The immediate background to this is that a few weeks ago, a highly-credentialed, well-respected US intelligence official named David Grusch, who had clearance on essentially ALL special access programmes before resigning in April, claimed whistleblower status to tell Congress that there is a secret UAP recovery and reverse-engineering programme within the US government that evades Congressional oversight. He then gave an interview with Australian investigative journalist Ross Coulthart, who had independently verified Grush's claims with other witnesses Coulthart is in contact with.
Grusch is the first US official making these sorts of claims about UAPs who has gone through the proper whistleblower process, which means if he is found to be lying then he faces jail time. His career was flourishing and he ostensibly had no reason to resign other than the whistleblowing. Additionally, no part of the government or military has yet come forward to refute any of his claims. But most importantly, Grusch is not asking to be taken on his word - he's been very clear that he's asking Congress to follow the leads he's providing and investigate them. And this is where it gets really interesting.
Prior to the hearing, congressman Tim Burchett and congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna went to follow up some preliminary witness testimony at Eglin air force base, which had been pre-arranged by the congressional oversight committee. When they arrived, the commanding general of the base refused to allow them entry and basically told them to fuck off. Both representatives have spoken publicly about it and have apparently not been given any explanation as to why they were barred from speaking to the witnesses. It could just be the general flexing against Washington politics, even if goes beyond his authority to deny Congress access to key witnesses, but it screams of no smoke without fire.
The hearing itself involved Grusch, along with former pilots and first-hand witnesses to UAP encounters Ryan Graves and David Fravor, testifying under oath before Congress. Regardless of the reality of what's going on with UAPs, this is being taken seriously by the US government now. Much of the testimony from Grusch has been deferred to private 'skiff' hearings outside of a public context, but Grusch did make some extraordinary claims:
- Some UAP crash sites involved non-human biological material. He didn't go as far as saying bodies, but that seems to be his implication.
- To his knowledge, the US recovery programme has existed since the 1930s.
- He is going to provide exact locations to Congress of recovered UAP materials, along with names of specific individuals who are involved in the programme, individuals who are witness to it and individuals who have threatened his life since coming forward.
- He's also providing details of dozens of people he personally knows who have been injured as a result of recovering and reverse-engineering UAPs, as well as some who have been attacked to conceal the programme.
- The idea that UAPs are foreign or domestic technology was firmly refuted by all three witnesses.
Maybe it's all a big lie and Grusch, Graves and Fravor are making it all up, as well as the 40 or so witnesses in the military and intelligence community that Congress have so far spoken to in private and who have concurred with Grusch's story. Doesn't seem likely at this point, though. I've been fascinated by the topic all my life, but I've always maintained a rational, skeptical outlook on it. This is the first time where I've concluded that there is something to it - that it's more likely there is a non-human intelligence involved with UAPs than the possibility that there isn't. Just stop and think about it: an impeccable US intelligence official with corroboration by his peers has testified before Congress under oath and penalty of jail, while being threatened by his former superiors, that the US found non-human biology amidst the wreckage of non-human technology. That is huge, regardless of whether it's true.
I think the next few months could be very interesting.
