UFO whistleblower claims US government found ‘non-human biologics’ at crash sites
“Non-human biologics” were recovered by the US government from crash sites, according to a former US intelligence official.
David Grusch said he was “absolutely” certain the US government is in possession of non-human vehicles.
Asked at a Congress hearing on UFOs whether the “pilots who piloted this craft” were also found, he said “biologics came with some of the recoveries, yeah”.
He was then asked if the biologics were “human or non-human”.
“Non-human”, he replied, adding: “That was the assessment of people with direct knowledge of the programme I talked to, that are currently still on the programme.”
He said he prefers to use the term “non-human” rather than alien or extraterrestrial.
Mr Grusch was giving evidence at a hearing in which an ex-Navy pilot claimed the US government was “hiding crucial information” about UFOs.

The session was held by the House Oversight Committee, which covers US national security and foreign affairs.
The hearing was announced last week amid increased attention on reported sightings of UFOs – officially known as unidentified aerial phenomena or UAPs.
Mr Grusch, who said he has not personally spotted a UAP, told the panel that he knows of “multiple colleagues” who were injured by UAPs, citing interviews with 40 witnesses over a four-year period.
He said he led Defence Department efforts to analyse reported UAP sightings and was informed of a programme aimed at collecting and reconstructing crashed spacecraft.
This programme had been running for decades and was concealed by the US, he said.
Asked whether the US government had information about extraterrestrial life, Mr Grusch claimed it was likely the US had been aware of “non-human” activity since the 1930s.
The Pentagon has denied Mr Grusch’s claims of a cover-up. In a statement, Defence Department spokeswoman Sue Gough said investigators have not discovered “any verifiable information to substantiate claims that any programmes regarding the possession or reverse-engineering of extraterrestrial materials have existed in the past or exist currently.”

Joe Biden’s administration has faced calls to declassify documents related to UFOs, and this month the Senate introduced an amendment to annual defence policy legislation that seeks to do just that.
Interest has been so been high that NASA held its first public meeting on the issue earlier this year.
A panel of scientists and retired astronauts said there had been a spike in sightings, though only a small fraction contained signals which could be deemed “anomalous”.
Charlie Kirk has been posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Donald Trump.
The USA’s highest civilian honour was received by the conservative activist’s widow, Erika, at the White House.
Mr Kirk, 31, was fatally shot on 10 September while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University.
He founded Turning Point USA and toured American university campuses, debating students about current affairs.

Addressing those attending the ceremony in the White House rose garden, the US president said they were there to “honour and remember a fearless warrior for liberty” and a “beloved leader who galvanised the next generation”.
He said Mr Kirk’s name was being entered “forever into the eternal roster of true American heroes”.
Mr Trump described Charlie Kirk as an “American patriot of the deepest conviction, the finest quality and the highest calibre”.
He said his nation had been “robbed” of an “extraordinary champion”.

Has Charlie Kirk become a MAGA ‘martyr’?
And Mr Trump said Mr Kirk was assassinated in the “prime of his life for boldly speaking the truth, for living his faith, and relentlessly fighting for a better and stronger America”.
The ceremony coincided with what would have been Mr Kirk’s 32nd birthday.
Mr Trump described Erika Kirk, now head of Turning Point USA, as someone who had “endured unspeakable hardship with unbelievable strength”.

A 22-year-old man, Tyler Robinson, from the city of Washington in Utah has been charged with Mr Kirk’s murder. Prosecutors said they would seek the death penalty.
At a memorial event held at a stadium in Arizona, Erika Kirk told an enormous crowd she forgave her husband’s killer.
“The answer to hate is not hate,” she said.
