The United States is hiding a decades-old program that recovers and reverse engineers unidentified flying objects, a former Air Force intelligence official testified before Congress on Wednesday. The Pentagon has denied his claims.

The much-anticipated testimony of retired Maj. David Grusch before a House Oversight subcommittee marks the latest congressional foray into the world of "unidentified aerial phenomena" (UAP), which is the term official that the Government uses instead of Unidentified Flying Object (UFO).

While the study of mysterious flying objects often evokes conversations about aliens and "little green men," Democrats and Republicans in recent years have pushed for more research as a matter of national security out of concern that observed sightings by the pilots may be linked to adversaries of the United States.

Grusch has said he was asked in 2019 by the head of a government task force on UAPs to identify all highly classified programs related to the task force's mission. At the time, Grusch was assigned to the National Reconnaissance Office, the agency that operates the country's spy satellites.

"I was made aware in the course of my official duties of a multi-decade failed UAP reverse engineering and recovery program to which I was denied access," he said. Asked if the government had any information on alien life, Grusch replied that the United States has probably been aware of "non-human" activity since the 1930s.

The Pentagon has denied Grusch's claims. In a statement, Defense Department spokeswoman Sue Gough said investigators have uncovered "no verifiable information to substantiate claims that any programs related to possession or reverse engineering have existed in the past or currently exist." of extraterrestrial materials". The statement did not address UFOs that are not suspected to be extraterrestrial objects.

Grusch has said that he decided to become a government informant after his discovery and that he suffered reprisals for his testimony. He has declined to detail them, citing an ongoing investigation. "It was very brutal and very unfortunate, some of the tactics they used hurt me both professionally and personally," he has stated.

Rep. Glenn Grothman, a Wisconsin Republican who chaired the panel hearing, quipped as he opened the session to a packed audience: "Welcome to the most exciting subcommittee in Congress this week."

 

THE CONGRESS ASKS FOR INFORMATION FROM THE GOVERNMENT
That congressional subcommittee has asked the government to report the data it has on unidentified flying objects after hearing the statement of former members of the army who claim to have seen them and who also say that the authorities keep evidence of them.

The three retired soldiers who have appeared assured that the US authorities have detected over the country's airspace for decades what they considered a threat to national security, regardless of its origin.

Given the abundance of witnesses, in many cases both military and civilian pilots, the members of the subcommittee demanded that the US government establish a "transparent and secure" system so that these incidents can be reported to the authorities without damaging the reputation of the witnesses.

In addition to Grusch, Lt. Ryan Graves, a former US Navy F-18 fighter pilot, has testified. He has pointed out in his opening statement that "if UFOs are foreign drones, they are an urgent problem for national security." And he has added that, if they are of human origin, "it is a matter for science." "

"In any case, unidentified objects are a concern for aviation security," he said.
