House Oversight subcommittee hears Grusch, Fravor and Graves
July 26, 2023 · Rayburn House Office Building, Washington, DC · Congressional · Primary document linked
Two former Navy pilots described their own encounters. A former intelligence officer, David Grusch, testified under oath, based on interviews with other witnesses, that the U.S. holds craft of non-human origin and that biological remains came with some recoveries.
Why it matters (5/5)
Sworn public testimony alleging recovered craft; drew sustained media and legislative attention.
Caveats
Grusch's claims were secondhand and he gave few specifics in open session. AARO disputed his claim that access to some materials was denied. No supporting evidence was made public at the hearing.
