WASHINGTON DC – A high-ranking former intelligence official has called on the Department of Defense (DOD) to disclose what he says is evidence of an “intact or partially intact” spacecraft of “non-human origin.”

As reported Monday by the Debrief, whistleblower and Air Force veteran David Grusch has alleged that the DOD has illegally withheld this evidence and further information about a clandestine spacecraft retrieval program from Congress. House Oversight Chair James Comer, R-Ky., confirmed the committee is planning a hearing.

Grusch, a former member of the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, previously led analysis for the DOD concerning unexplained anomalous phenomena (UAP), a more technical term for unidentified flying object, or UFO.

Grusch said he suffered retaliation from government officials when he turned over classified information about the spacecraft to both Congress and the Intelligence Community Inspector General in July of 2022. At the time, the inspector general called the complaint “urgent and credible.”

“Several current members of the program” for UAP crash retrieval, Grusch said, have independently corroborated its existence to the inspector general.

“We are not talking about prosaic origins or identities,” Grusch told the Debrief. “The material includes intact and partially intact vehicles.”
