Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are expected to receive classified briefings on UFOs in the coming weeks, according to multiple sources. House members expect to receive classified briefings related to retired Air Force Maj. David Grusch, a former U.S. intelligence and military official who claims the government is covering up a UFO retrieval program.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) first shared the news to X on Tuesday, nearly three months after Grusch testified to a House Oversight panel. She said lawmakers were given the go-ahead to be briefed in a SCIF (sensitive compartmented information facility). Joe Khalil, a News Nation correspondent, later explained what the briefings might entail.
“CONFIRMED- I’m told there will be 2 members only briefings: One w/DOD Inspector General, the other w/Intel Community Inspector General,” he said on Wednesday. “The Intel Community IG, according to UAP / UFO whistleblower David Grusch, has specific info Grusch provided that he couldn’t share publicly.”
Grusch alleges a multi-decade retrieval and reverse-engineering program has been illegally kept from Congress. It could provide classified information to both inspectors general and that a whistleblower reprisal investigation had been opened. In his testimony before Congress in July, Grusch went as far as to testify under oath that “non-human” biologics have been recovered from UFO crash sites.
“This would take thousands and thousands of people for such an unbelievable cover-up to be occurring,” House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner (R-OH) said in a Fox News interview. “And for people to speak with such confidence over something that they do not know is, I think, something certainly everybody needs to be concerned about.”
However, some experts have warned that the classified briefings may not provide lawmakers with all the answers they are looking for. The government has a long history of secrecy on UFOs, and it is possible that some of the most sensitive information will be withheld from lawmakers.
