Majority of US voters believe govt knows more about UFOs than they're letting on as Congress preps to investigate Grusch's claims

UFO F-16
A majority of U.S. eligible voters believe the U.S. government knows more about UFOs than the public ahead of an investigation into claims about the existence of spacecraft, according to new polling exclusively conducted for Newsweek.

The poll, carried out by Redfield & Wilton Strategies, comes as the House of Representatives has said it would launch an investigation after a former intelligence official said the U.S. was in possession of non-human vehicles.

The survey, conducted on July 6, found 57 percent of respondents believed that the U.S. government has more information about UFOs and alien life than it publicly shared. And 21 percent said they did not think this was the case, while 22 percent said they did not know.

In June, former U.S. Air Force and intelligence officer David Grusch told The Debrief that "intact and partially intact vehicles" had been recovered by authorities, and that information was being hidden from U.S. lawmakers.

James Comer, the Republican chair of the House Oversight Committee, then said there would be a hearing into the claims. The investigation is to be led by GOP Representatives Anna Paulina Luna of Florida and Tim Burchett of Tennessee, who told Newsweek that retrieved UFO technology could be "being reverse-engineered right now," but we "don't understand" how it works.

Grusch then told the NewsNation network that objects of "non-human" origin had been discovered and collected.

'True' or 'crazy'? UFO whistleblowers coming 'out of the woodwork'

David Charles Grusch

In a June 26 interview with NewsNation, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) stated that multiple individuals had corroborated a whistleblower's explosive allegations of a secret, decades-long UFO crash retrieval and reverse-engineering effort.

As the top Republican on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and a member of the so-called Gang of Eight, Rubio's extraordinary comments carry particular weight.

According to Rubio, only one of two remarkable outcomes will ultimately explain recent developments, "Either what [the whistleblower] is saying is partially true or entirely true," he said, "or we have some really smart, educated people with high clearances and very important positions in our government who are crazy and are leading us on a goose chase."

"Most of these people," Rubio continued, "have held very high clearances and high positions within our government. So, you ask yourself: What incentive would so many people with that kind of qualification these are serious people — have to come forward and make something up?"

Pressed for details, Rubio stated that individuals with "firsthand knowledge or firsthand claims" are "saying to us what you've seen out there in the public record, whether it's about legacy [UFO] programs or about current events."

According to Rubio, the whistleblowers' statements are beyond "the realm of what any of us [on the Senate Intelligence Committee] has ever dealt with."

UFO-hunting Harvard scientists say debris from unidentified object that crashed into Pacific Ocean in 2014 appears 'artificial in origin', could be remnants of an 'interstellar spacecraft'

IM1 spheres recovered ufo crash
The Berkeley lab's new analysis of the IM1 spheres (examples pictured) now shows that the object was likely almost entirely composed of iron, which Harvard astrophysicist and Galileo Project founder Avi Loeb noted is unlike any meteors or asteroids known to man.
Tiny metal fragments recovered from an interstellar object that crashed into the Pacific Ocean appear 'artificial in origin', scientists say.

A Harvard duo recovered 50 unusual iron spheres after tracking down the unidentified object, known as IM1, off the coast of Papua New Guinea last week as part of a $ 1.5 million underwater search mission.

New lab analysis of the metal spheres reveals they are 'anomalous' and stronger than any observed meteor produced by nature, according to Professor Avi Loeb, former chair of Harvard's astronomy department who led the research.

Comment: It's worth noting the U.S. Space Command had kept data on this interstellar object classified, which prevented scientists from verifying the discovery for 3 years. Who knows what data or material has been kept under lock and key.

An artist's impression of the alleged 1933 UFO crash outside Magenta in northern Italy shows a craft shaped like a saucer
A top US intelligence officer claims World War II American forces retrieved a UFO that crashed in Italy in 1933 - and Italian researchers say they have the documents to prove it.

Former top National Reconnaissance Office staffer David Grusch shocked the world last month when he revealed he had blown the whistle in sworn testimony to Congress and government watchdogs, about an alleged secret US program that has obtained multiple 'non-human' flying saucers.

Grusch claims one of these alien spacecraft crashed in Northern Italy in 1933, and was secreted away by Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini, before it was captured by American forces at the end of World War II and shipped to the US.

DailyMail.com understands Grusch was briefed on the supposed June 1933 crash by a staffer who allegedly worked on the 'non-human' craft in a secret US government program.

Best of the Web: Senator Rubio heard shocking 'firsthand' accounts of UFOs from top Pentagon officials

rubio ufo
More whistleblowers in the Pentagon have come forward with 'first-hand knowledge' of secret UFO crash retrieval programs, US Senator Marco Rubio has revealed.

The Republican Florida Sen said officials with 'very high clearances' who have occupied 'high positions within our government' have come forward with 'first-hand knowledge or first-hand claims' of top secret Government programs.

Ex-Air Force officer David Grusch made worldwide news earlier this month when he claimed alien craft and bodies had been recovered and back-engineered by US officials.


Comment: The question hanging over all of these recent whistleblower revelations is 'why now?' It seems highly likely that all of this is serving some larger agenda, which for now remains hazy. Eyes and ears open.

Senate Intelligence bill gives holders of 'non-earth origin or exotic UAP material' six months to make it available to AARO

Gillibrand
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) sits on both the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Armed Services Committee. She chairs the Emerging Threats and Capabilities Subcommittee of the Armed Services Committee.
The U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) has unanimously approved legislation containing language that appears intended to dig out any UAP-associated technology that is or ever was controlled by the federal government.

The new UAP/UFO provisions are being publicly reported in detail in this article for the first time anywhere.

The new UAP provisions are part of the Fiscal Year 2024 Intelligence Authorization Act (IAA, S. 2103), which was approved unanimously by the Senate Intelligence committee in a closed-door session on June 14. On June 21 I reported on the committee's action, but the text of the UAP amendment was not yet publicly available at that time. The committee formally filed the bill and it was assigned its number on June 22; it was posted on the Internet early on June 24.

The new UAP language (found in Section 1104 of the bill) would require "any person currently or formerly under contract with the Federal Government that has in their possession material or information provided by or derived from the Federal Government relating to unidentified anomalous phenomena that formerly or currently is protected by any form of special access or restricted access" to notify the director of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) within 60 days of enactment, and to provide within 180 days (six months) "a comprehensive list of all non-earth origin or exotic unidentified anomalous phenomena material" possessed and to make it available to the AARO director for "assessment, analysis, and inspection."

AARO is the Pentagon office established by Congress to conduct investigations of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), and to collect information on current and past federal government activity pertaining to UAP.

Pentagon 'unable' to confirm or deny discovery of materials originating from non-human intelligences or unknown origin within secretive programs

pentagon
The Pentagon is unable to confirm or deny whether its UFO office, known as the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), has discovered any verifiable information to substantiate claims that any current or former U.S. programs have had possession or reverse-engineered materials from non-human intelligences or unknown origin.

Department of Defense (DoD) spokesperson, Susan Gough, told Liberation Times:
"To date, AARO has not discovered any verifiable information to substantiate claims that any programs regarding the possession or reverse-engineering of extraterrestrial materials have existed in the past or exist currently."
But when pushed, whether the term "extraterrestrial" could extend to materials of unknown origin or non-human intelligences (a term used specifically by whistleblower David Grusch), Gough declined to go beyond the existing on-record statements provided by the DoD.

Liberation Times has offered the DoD an opportunity to comment further on its stance regarding such terminology - as of publication, there is no indication that such a move is likely.

Although noteworthy that the DoD refuses to comment further, this is not an admission that programs dealing with materials of unknown or non-human origin have been discovered.

There may be a variety of reasons for using the term "extraterrestrial", a term which means 'of or from outside the earth or its atmosphere.'

Why does the government keep obstructing UFO transparency efforts?

censored
It's been nearly 27 years since I submitted my first Freedom of Information Act, or FOIA, request on UFOs. I was 15 years old at the time. That request unearthed a four-page Defense Intelligence Agency document detailing a 1976 event in which multiple UFOs shut off the communications and instrumentation panels of two separate Iranian F-4 Phantom jets. The advanced capabilities of these UFOs sparked my interest, and through the FOIA, I quickly discovered the incident was not an isolated one. I learned that there was much more to discover within official files.

My website, The Black Vault, showcases thousands of UFO files I've received from the government. The documents, overall, hint at a mysterious phenomenon the U.S. military and government have struggled to identify adequately for decades. Indeed, they appear to have often kept the public in the dark using various tactics to block legally or at least severely prohibit accessing some of these records that date back to the 1940s.

Fast forward to December 2017, and that secrecy seemed to be lifting. A former government intelligence officer, Luis Elizondo, came out of the shadows to talk about his work running a secret Pentagon UFO study. Politicians became interested, and legislation was passed mandating UFO research offices and congressional hearings. The intent was to get the public some answers.

Anyone with interest in the mystery was overjoyed that the government was taking it seriously, the military was taking action, and they were going to share their findings. At least, we thought they were going to share their findings.

Unfortunately, the transparency appears to have been a facade. Behind the scenes, something has been brewing for years. Even though politicians talked openly about what is now called Unidentified Aerial Phenomena/Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, or UAP, and the media seemed to take it more seriously, the government was working hard to lock down UAP-related information.

Keep watching the skies.

According to an organization known as the National UFO Reporting Center, two military jets engaged an object referred to as an "Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon" over Bad Axe early this month.

Witnesses reported watching a pair of F-16s engaged in a "dogfight" with an object they were unable to see as they moved a camper at the storage units across from the Bad Axe Meijer store on June 3.

Canadian MP Larry Maguire: UAPs are real, and Canada should take them seriously

With the news that Canada's Minister of Defence was briefed about the issue of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), it's time for parliamentarians and the government of Canada to take this issue seriously.

For decades, the public has been told claims about UAP (what were once called UFOs) are either banal or altogether nonsense. It is now apparent there is something very real going on — something that warrants high-level briefings from military leaders. This deserves legitimate inquiries, and it is time to demand action from our government departments. Moreover, it's time for them to engage with the scientific community in an open and transparent manner.

The greatest barrier to better understanding the phenomena is the stigma surrounding it. It is encouraging to see this begin to subside and allow the topic to be both publicly acknowledged and studied.

American senators and members of Congress have shown greater willingness to seek information, ask questions and engage the public in recent years. However, unlike its counterparts in the United States, the government of Canada has yet to show even the slightest curiosity or concern.

The evidence of UAP is overwhelming and has been affirmed by presidents, former heads of the CIA, the current NASA administrator, intelligence officials, and trained military observers. Now that there is an ability to have serious discussions on this matter, more individuals with impeccable backgrounds feel comfortable speaking publicly about what they know.

Comment: This article was published last year. A year later, and Maguire is back in the news for writing a letter to the Minister of National Defense where he confirms the existence of a Five-Eyes program into investigating retrieved UAP materials. Read that story here:
