David Grusch, former US Air Force intelligence officer and whistleblower stated that he "absolutely" thinks the government has unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAPs (which has supplanted UFO in official jargon), as well as the bodies of its operators.

During a congressional committee on Wednesday, Grusch expressed that he was informed during his official duties " of a multi-decade UAP crash retrieval and reverse-engineering program. I made the decision, based on the data I collected, to report this information to my superiors and multiple inspectors general, and in effect becoming a whistleblower."
 
When pressed for details throughout, Grusch repeatedly stated that he could not respond in public, since the information is confidential.

He claimed that the US government is withholding information on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) not just from the public but also from Congress, and that he "personally interviewed" people with intimate knowledge of non-human craft.
 
Grusch told Congress that his testimony was based on knowledge from people with "a longstanding track record of legitimacy and service to this country -- many of whom also shared compelling evidence in the form of photography, official documentation, and classified oral testimony."

US Representative Tim Burchett backed the notion that the government was hiding information, declaring, "We're going to uncover the cover-up."

The session also included evidence from two previous Navy officers who testified they saw UAPs.

Burchett declared that a government that does not trust its people is not transparent and cannot be trusted.

Last month, Grusch claimed to NewsNation that the Pentagon is hiding "quite a number" of alien spaceships that have crashed and even dead extraterrestrial beings. 

The Pentagon's Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) task force has been denied access to the crash retrieval program because it is top-secret. For decades, the program has been engaged in "retrieving non-human-origin technical vehicles," according to Grusch.

Sean Kirkpatrick, the chief of the Pentagon division tasked with identifying UAPs that represent a possible threat, informed Congress earlier this year that no indicators of alien activity had been discovered.

In April, Kirkpatrick testified that "The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office has found no credible evidence thus far of extraterrestrial activity, off-world technology, or objects that defy the known laws of physics." 

The initiative Grusch described, however, works with greater secrecy than AARO. 

He claimed that the fact that Americans were mostly in the dark about the purported extraterrestrial visitors was the result of a "sophisticated disinformation campaign targeting the US populace, which is extremely unethical and immoral."
