Sue Gough, a spokeswoman for AARO, said in a statement that the office '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.' She also said the department is 'committed to timely and thorough reporting to Congress.' What the witnesses said at the UAP/UFO hearing From left, Ryan Graves, David Grusch and David Fravor testify before a House subcommittee about unidentified anomalous phenomena on July 26, 2023, in Washington, D.C. Lawmakers say the military knows more about the objects than it has disclosed to Congress. While military officials have said most cases have innocuous origins, many others remain unexplained. The Pentagon's All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office, which Congress established to investigate the incidents, has investigated roughly 800 reports of UAPs as of May. The UAP issue has gained widespread attention from Congress and the public in recent years with the release of several video recordings of the encounters, which typically show seemingly nondescript objects moving through the air at very high speeds with no apparent method of propulsion. He later said he had interviewed officials who had direct knowledge of aircraft with 'nonhuman' origins, and that so-called 'biologics' were recovered from some craft. He said he was denied access to those programs when he requested it, and accused the military of misappropriating funds to shield these operations from congressional oversight. He told lawmakers that he was informed of 'a multi-decade UAP crash retrieval and reverse-engineering program' during the course of his work examining classified programs. Grusch served as a representative on two Pentagon task forces investigating UAPs until earlier this year.

Washington - A former military intelligence officer-turned-whistleblower told House lawmakers that Congress is being kept in the dark about unidentified anomalous phenomena, known as UAPs or UFOs, alleging at a hearing that executive branch agencies have withheld information about the mysterious objects for years.ĭavid Grusch, who served for 14 years as an intelligence officer in the Air Force and National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, appeared before the House Oversight Committee's national security subcommittee alongside two former fighter pilots who had firsthand experience with UAPs.
