(Brendan Smialowski\/AFP via Getty Images)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>During that hearing, Mr. Grusch <strong>accused the Pentagon and its private contractors of covering up a \u201cmulti-decade\u201d program to reverse-engineer technology retrieved from crashed UFOs piloted by \u201cnon-human\u201d beings, or \u201cbiologics\u201d as he called them.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He also mentioned knowledge of people harmed or injured in efforts to cover up or conceal the extraterrestrial technology program.<\/p>\n<p>Though apparently only limited information was disclosed during Friday\u2019s 90-minute briefing at the Capitol Building in Washington, the attendees agreed that the hearing seemed to confirm Mr. Grusch\u2019s claims.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u201cBased on what we heard,\u201d<\/strong><\/em> Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) said, <em><strong>\u201cmany of Grusch[\u2019s] claims have merit!\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u201cI think everybody left there thinking and knowing that Grusch is legit\u2014if they didn\u2019t think that before,\u201d <\/strong><\/em>attested Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.).<\/p>\n<p>The Tennessee legislator, one of the stronger voices calling for transparency on the issue of UAPs, nevertheless left the meeting somewhat frustrated, saying the meeting was just \u201cmore of the same.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cBy design this issue is very compartmentalized,\u201d he explained. \u201cIt\u2019s like looking down the barrel of a .22 rifle. All they know is just right in that little circle.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cNow it\u2019s just whack-a-mole\u2014you go to the next [briefing], until we get some answers.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>For Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) the limited information presented only proved there was a <em><strong>\u201cconcerted effort to conceal as much information as possible\u2014both in Congress and to the general public.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u201cI asked very specific questions and was unable to get specific answers,\u201d <\/strong><\/em>he said. \u201cAnd so that\u2019s a problem, and we\u2019re not going to stop until we get the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Eric Burlison (R-Mont.) was a bit more optimistic, calling the briefing a step in the right direction.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI think that some people were looking for things,\u201d he said<strong>. \u201cThis was not the venue to determine those things, but for me, I got a lot of clarity,\u201d <\/strong>he added.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) was glad that \u201ceveryone that was in the room received probably new information.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, Mr. Garcia introduced the Safe Airspace for Americans Act, along with Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-Wisconsin), a bill that enables civilian pilots and personnel to report UAP sightings with the Federal Aviation Administration.<\/p>\n<p>During the July hearing, <strong>Mr. Grusch said he hoped that unearthing the non-human reverse engineering programs will act as \u201ca catalyst for a global reassessment of our priorities.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A Pentagon spokesperson replied at the time that it has not found \u201cany 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u201cThis is not about whether there are aliens or there are not aliens,\u201d <\/strong><\/em>Mr. Moskowitz, a member of the UAP Caucus, said in early December. \u201cThe problem is when we ask those questions, rather than being provided information that would prove it false, they stonewall the information, and that is what piques the interest.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>      <span class=\"field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden\"><a title=\"View user profile.\" href=\"https:\/\/cms.zerohedge.com\/users\/tyler-durden\" class=\"username\">Tyler Durden<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden\">Sun, 01\/14\/2024 &#8211; 12:50<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/political\/air-force-whistleblowers-concerns-legit-over-us-govt-ufo-program-cover-house-oversight\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"feedzy-rss-link-icon\" rel=\"noopener\">Read More<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Air Force Whistleblower&#8217;s Concerns &#8220;Legit&#8221; Over US Govt UFO Program Cover-Up; House Oversight Committee Authored by Wim De Gent via NTD News, A classified briefing&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1450595","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","wpcat-1-id"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pbimBl-65mH","jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1450595","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1450595"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1450595\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1450595"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1450595"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1450595"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
