Three military veterans testified in a highly anticipated hearing before Congress on Wednesday, including a former Air Force intelligence officer. The topic? Alien crafts and “biologics.”

Claims were made that the U.S. government has run a top-secret “multi-decade” reverse engineering program of recovered vessels, or UAP’s (unidentified aerial phenomena). 

The claim was also made that the U.S. has recovered non-human “biologics” from these crash sites. Three witnesses spoke before Congress.

First, Retired Major David Grusch, who was, at one time, part of the Pentagon’s Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Task Force, made a statement to the House Oversight Committee’s national security subcommittee that the U.S. is concealing a sanctioned program that retrieves and reverse engineers unidentified flying objects. The Pentagon has staunchly denied his claims. Grusch said that while he had been denied access to certain government UFO programs, that he still knows the “exact locations” of UAPs that are in U.S. possession.

Another statement was made by Retired U.S. Navy Commander David Fravor, who said that he was part of a team that witnessed a small, white, “Tic Tac-shaped” object traveling through the sky back in 2004. “What is shocking to us is that the incident was never investigated, none of my crew were ever questioned, tapes were never taken, and after a couple of days it turned into a great story with friends,” he said.

Fravor, along with other witnesses, went public with their statements regarding alien crafts in 2017.

He went on to say, “You know, I’m not like a UFO fanatic, that’s not me. But I will tell you that what we saw, with four sets of eyes, over a five-minute period still — there’s nothing, we have nothing close to it. It was amazing to see. I told my buddy I wanted to fly it.”

In closing, Grusch states that he has faced retaliation for coming forward as a government whistleblower. He has, however, declined to go into detail regarding the retaliatory tactics, citing an ongoing investigation.
