We’ve run into roadblocks from members, the intelligence community, the Pentagon. In the Baptist church we say that the devil is in our way, and the devil has been in our way for this thing. “It’s been so difficult to get here today. That announcement drew a chuckle, but Burchett became more serious as he accused government agencies of a lack of cooperation with the oversight committee investigation. We’re just going to get to the facts,” Burchett said. “We’re not bringing little green men or flying saucers into the hearing. On Wednesday, however, Burchett sought to downplay, somewhat, what people would hear. Tim Burchett, a Republican congressman from Tennessee who is co-leading the UFO investigation, has claimed in recent weeks that the US had evidence of technology that “defies all of our laws of physics”, and that alien craft possess technology that could “turn us into a charcoal briquette”. Since then, the intrigue around what evidence the government has, or doesn’t have, around UFOs has only intensified. Grusch’s allegation, aired in interviews with the Debrief and NewsNation, that the federal government was hiding this evidence of alien craft from Congress sparked a firestorm in June, prompting the Republican-led oversight committee to launch an immediate investigation.


Grusch added: “I am hopeful that my actions will ultimately lead to a positive outcome of increased transparency.” Under questioning, Grusch confirmed that he had knowledge of “people who have been harmed or injured” in the course of government efforts to conceal UFO information.Īsked by an oversight committee member if he had “feared for his life”, Grusch replied: “Yes definitely.” “It hurt me both professionally and personally,” Grusch said. Speaking on Wednesday, Grusch said he has faced “very brutal” retaliation as a result of his allegations. He said that in his role in the government he had been charged with investigating what military, defense and other agencies knew about aliens and alien craft, but alleged he had been prevented from accessing secret government UFO programs. Grusch filed a whistleblower complaint in 2022. The hearing attracted intense global interest, and provided speculation and claims that the US is hiding evidence of alien life and technology – mixed with large doses of skepticism. “I was informed, in the course of my official duties, of a multi-decade UAP crash retrieval and reverse-engineering program, to which I was denied access,” Grusch told the committee. On Wednesday, Grusch repeated some of those claims – although not all – under oath. The hearing was prompted by claims from Grusch in June that the government was secretly harboring alien space craft.
