Grusch Returns to Capitol Steps: “At Least Four Types of Non-Human Intelligence”

Three years to the day after his explosive congressional testimony, David Grusch returned to the steps of the U.S. Capitol for a bipartisan press conference demanding full UAP transparency. Standing alongside members of Congress and disclosure advocates, Grusch made his most detailed public claims yet.

Grusch stated that the U.S. government is aware of “at least four different types of non-human intelligence.” Some are “corporeal bipedal type life” with physical bodies. Others exist on what he described as a “continuum” – including what he characterized as “sentient” non-corporeal entities. He said that in his official duties he was exposed to human and signals intelligence concerning foreign adversary UAP crash retrieval and exploitation efforts.

Grusch told TMZ that Pentagon insiders are “too afraid to talk” and told reporters he wants to help Congress and the president achieve full disclosure. He emphasized: “The American people deserve more than vague denials and selective releases.”

Rep.

Burlison: “Disclosure Is Inevitable” – Congress Receiving Claims of Recovered UFOs at Specific Facilities

Rep. Eric Burlison issued his strongest public statement yet: “The American people are closer to the truth than ever before. Disclosure is inevitable.” He called on current and former government employees and contractors to come forward.

At the press conference, Burlison said Congress is currently receiving credible claims of recovered UFOs and reverse-engineering programs at specific facilities: “This information is not yours to keep. It belongs to the American people.” He directly asked President Trump to grant immunity to UFO whistleblowers.

Missing Scientists Raised at Presser – Congress Dodges

A reporter at the press conference asked twice about the missing and dead defense aerospace scientists, including Gen. McCasland. Congress members largely dodged the question, though Rep. Burchett responded: “Of course something is going on.”

Mike Coletta, who says he worked with McCasland, noted it was his “favorite part” of the press conference – someone finally raising it publicly with the people who have the power to investigate.

Burchett: “All the Aliens Have Been Moved From Area 51 – Into Private Contractors”

Rep. Tim Burchett said the materials and programs associated with UAPs have been moved out of Area 51 and into private contractor facilities: “All we can get there is a T-shirt.” He added: “The moving van has already been there.” This tracks with Burlison’s focus on FFRDCs and contractor facilities as the real hiding places for recovered materials.

Grusch Points to 1971 Australian Classified Assessment on CIA Cover-Up

During the press conference, Grusch directed the public to a specific document: a 1971 Australian government intelligence assessment, formerly classified “Secret,” now available at the Australian National Archives. He encouraged people to “read pages 7 through 16.”

The document, authored by Harry Turner of Australia’s Joint Intelligence Office, argues that the CIA used the 1953 Robertson Panel to persuade the Air Force to publicly “debunk” UFOs through Project Blue Book – while secretly funding advanced “saucer” aircraft and crash programs into anti-gravity propulsion. Turner wrote that “by erecting a facade of ridicule, the U.S. hoped to allay public alarm” and “act as a cover for the real U.S. programme of developing vehicles that emulate UFO performances.”

Grusch citing a foreign ally’s intelligence assessment – one that directly accuses the CIA of a deliberate cover-up strategy – adds international corroboration to the domestic claims he and other whistleblowers have been making.

Burlison: CIA “Noticeably Absent” on UFO File Releases

After the press conference, Burlison told reporters the CIA is “noticeably absent” from the government’s file releases: “The Department of War has been aggressive in releasing their documents, images, and videos. But we’re not getting that from the CIA.” This directly echoes the Aaron Lukas investigation identifying CIA leadership as the primary obstruction point.
