This is a weird, wild story and — tellingly — some second-tier captured media (e.g., Newsweek) are already promoting it, instead of debunking or burying it. But why?
The original article ran Monday in The Debrief, an intelligence news site, with the eye-popping headline “Intelligence Officials Say U.S. Has Retrieved Craft of Non-Human Origin.” And when they said “non-human,” I don’t think they meant bare-bottomed orangutans.
As far as I can tell, the headline is accurate, since the story goes on in great detail to describe declassified official reports supported in one way or another by multiple intelligence officials. There’s no smoking gun, but there is a giant cloud of smoke.
David Charles Grusch, 36, is an Afghanistan war veteran who served as the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) representative to the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force from 2019-2021. Then briefly until July 2022, he was the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) co-leader for UAP analysis and its representative to the UAP task force.
Here’s the gist: Grusch filed a whistleblower complaint with the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG), and briefed Congress. His complaint alleges that deeply covert programs possess retrieved intact and partially intact craft of non-human origin, so secret they were hidden even from Congressional oversight, and Grusch attached extensive classified information allegedly supporting his claims.
“We are not talking about prosaic origins or identities,” Grusch told the reporter, referring to information he gave to Congress and to the IC Inspector General. “The material includes intact and partially intact vehicles,” he stressed.
Intact alien vehicles? What?
There are some pretty weird aspects to this story besides allegations of aliens and intact UFOs.
Unlike the poor FBI whistleblowers, and unlike most whistleblowers, Grusch somehow was able to immediately grab a terrific, high-priced lawyer, possibly the best lawyer in the business for his case, a former director of the ICIG’s office. It’s comparable to having a former Supreme Court Justice as your attorney.
Lawyers are usually wary of representing whistleblowers because it’s easy to get caught in the crossfire, potentially consuming not just the lawyer but the entire law firm. Big firm lawyers almost never take these cases, because even if one is willing, other cautious partners stamp the veto. So it’s pretty unusual for Grusch to be so well-represented. It could be he just has really great contacts. Maybe.
Also unusual, the lengthy article rounds up a variety of other military and intelligence officials who absolutely vouch for Mr. Grusch’s integrity. For example, the article quotes Karl E.Nell, a recently retired Army Colonel and current aerospace executive who was the Army’s liaison for the UAP Task Force from 2021 to 2022 and worked with Grusch there, who said Grusch was “beyond reproach.”
Most whistleblowers immediately become pariahs, since none of their coworkers want to be in the vicinity when the hand grenade of retaliation goes off.
I realize that many UFO followers are very happy and excited about this story, and maybe they should be — it’s another Overton Garage Door ripped right off its tracks. Another conspiracy theory that is on a fast train to being established fact, a spreading, legitimate argument over (a) whether there are actually non-humans running around the planet and (b) whether the US Government has been lying about it all these years.
Still, something feels off to me. The story is too perfect. It’s so neatly wrapped up, right from the jump. True, I’m being cynical; if the story were real, you might expect all these trappings of truth to come along with it. But it’s not so much what was included as what seems missing … where’s the government pushback? How did this story brave the Deep State’s censorship gauntlet? Where are the sneaky hit pieces accusing Grusch of being a pedophile or a Putin stooge or something?
And why didn’t Grusch get rolled like the FBI whistleblowers did? Where’s the money for his lawyers coming from?
Maybe there is a good answer to every one of those questions. But as a veteran of the covid wars, my antennae bristle at anything that could justify another worldwide state of emergency. Since the pandemic failed to accomplish the Great Reset, and another 100-year pandemic seems unlikely to be accepted by anyone, what else might they have down in their bloodstained bag of tricks?
How about this: how might the world respond to evidence of hostile aliens? Fearfully? Would world leaders call for an emergency “coordinated” response? Would the Space Force budget need to be doubled? Tripled? More? Is there a scenario under which the entire world would need to go under martial law, or under a universal ID, because we just don’t know where the aliens are, or who might be collaborating with them?
Forget worrying about whether your neighbor has been vaccinated. How do you know she’s even human?
So I am profoundly skeptical and suspicious of this developing UFO story, which isn’t new, but is based on decades-old data, and is suddenly leaking out now, right before another presidential election, and is controversial and inflammatory.
This story passes the new C&C Fake News Test, explained below. With apologies to our C&C UFO folks, I smell another Fauci-sized rat.
Good detailed summary. Had the same reaction. Old events, too sharp a lawyer, details but nothing in hand. Follow on to stories months back from military sources. Trying to build credibility without showing even one card in your hand? Curious it hasn’t gone viral, really. Just another cloud of smoke hanging overhead.
I have no doubt that extraterrestrial craft are out there in space and they do visit our planet.
I saw one in the sky more than 40 years ago. It was in the afternoon on a bright sunny summer day.
It made some incredible moves that no aircraft of earthly origin could possibly make.
Just as I looked upward (overhead) while outside my parents house, it darted out from behind a cloud, covering a great distance (several miles) in a fraction of a second.
Then it just stopped (instantly) before darting back behind the same cloud on a slightly different path.
The object was shiny metallic, with the sun reflecting off of it, and it appeared to be circular in shape.
I don’t have any photos, and there was nobody else with me at the time to confirm my story.
I have kept this story to myself for many years until fairly recently.
What are the chances of this happening the way it played out? Close to zero.
There are no accidents. I believe that everything happens for a reason, even though we might not know the reason.
All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players… William Shakespeare
Correction: Upon further consideration, I now think that the distance traveled by the craft was around 1 or 2 kilometers (not several miles) in each direction.
This is a psyop. Totally devoid of actual facts. Its inuendo and implications rolled up in a jelly donut and served warm to those gullible enough to believe. I call bullshit on this alien story. No way those aliens would be dumb enough to come here and get caught crashing an aluminum can that seconds as a lemonaide stand on weekends.
Speaking of opening Overton Garage Doors, nearly a million people have already seen this recent RFK post:

I too believe there are Extra Terrestrial UFOs
But I don’t believe they can come all the way here and then crash
They are from light years away and are light years ahead of us
Don’t you dare take me to your leader
