What did David Grusch testify about UFOs?
“On 26 July 2023, former intelligence officer David Grusch testified to Congress that the U.S. government operates a 'multi-decade UAP crash retrieval and reverse-engineering program.' AARO's 2024 Historical Record Report stated it found no empirical evidence for the program he described.”
David Charles Grusch is a former U.S. Air Force intelligence officer and former member of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency UAP Task Force. On 26 July 2023, Grusch testified under oath before the House Oversight Committee's Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs. He stated that he had become aware, while serving on the UAP Task Force, of a "multi-decade UAP crash retrieval and reverse-engineering program" being run by U.S. government contractors, and that he had filed a whistleblower complaint with the Intelligence Community Inspector General. Grusch did not present physical evidence; his testimony was based on conversations with other officials. AARO's 2024 Historical Record Report directly addressed Grusch's allegations and stated that AARO "found no empirical evidence" for the program he described. As of 2026 the broader investigation remains open, but no corroborating documentation has been declassified.
