A veteran of the Air Force who has come forward as a whistleblower claims to know where the federal government is storing presumably crashed UFOs.
Former National Geospatial Intelligence Agency employee David Grusch testified at a House Oversight Committee hearing on UAPs on Wednesday. UAP stands for “unexplained aerial phenomena” or “unidentified anomalous phenomena.”
During the hearing, Democratic Representative Robert Garcia of California asked Grusch directly if he believed the government possessed UAPs.
“Absolutely, based on interviews with over 40 witnesses over four years,” said Grusch, who went public with his claim that a UAP accident retrieval program has existed for decades earlier this year.

Asked where these are kept, Grusch replied, “I know the exact locations, and those locations were provided to the inspector general.”
According to the Daily Mail, Grusch stated that the United States has “intact and partially intact” vehicles that were not manufactured by humans.
He said coming forward as a whistleblower has led to “reprisal activity against myself and other colleagues,” which he called “administrative terrorism.”
Former Navy aviator Ryan Graves agreed, stating that UAP encounters are not “rare or isolated.”
Graves said that in 2014, his squadron stationed in Virginia Beach began detecting objects he described as “dark gray or black cubes … inside of a clear sphere.”
“These objects were staying completely stationary in Category 4 hurricane winds. These same objects would then accelerate to supersonic speeds,” Graves said.
Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN): “How do you know that these [UAPs] were not our aircraft?”

“He said a fellow pilot told him about one incident about 10 miles off the coast, in which an object between 5 and 15 feet in diameter flew between two F-18s and came within 50 feet of the aircraft,” CBS News reported.
“If everyone could see the sensor and video data I witnessed, our national conversation would change,” Graves said.
“I urge us to put aside stigma and address the security and safety issue this topic represents. If UAP are foreign drones, it is an urgent national security problem. If it is something else, it is an issue for science. In either case, unidentified objects are a concern for flight safety. The American people deserve to know what is happening in our skies. It is long overdue.”
During the hearing, Tennessee Republican Representative Tim Burchett asked Grusch whether anyone had been assassinated in relation to the revelations of UAPs.
“I have to be careful answering that question. I directed people with that knowledge to the appropriate authorities,” Grusch said, according to the Mail.
Burchett said the hearing was designed to end “the biggest cover-up in history.”
“We’re not bringing little green men or flying saucers into the hearing — sorry to disappoint about half of y’all,” he said.
“We’re just going to get to the facts. We’re going to uncover the cover-up, and I hope this is just the beginning of many more hearings and many more people coming forward about this.”
