This is the opening and closing statement that former intelligence officer David Charles Grusch prepared for the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability on 26 July 2023. Grusch served 14 years in the US Air Force and at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, and he was a member of the UAP Task Force. He testifies that officials told him of a multi-decade UAP crash retrieval and reverse engineering program that he was denied access to. He also describes retaliation after becoming a whistleblower and asks Congress to investigate.
staff, which included the coordination of the Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) and supporting contingency operations. In 2019, the UAPTF director tasked me to identify all Special Access Programs & Controlled Access Programs (SAPs/CAPs) we needed to satisfy our congressionally mandated mission. At the time, due to my extensive executive-level intelligence support duties, I was cleared to literally all relevant compartments and in a position of extreme trust in both my military and civilian capacities. I was informed, in the course of my official duties, of a multi-decade UAP crash retrieval and reverse engineering program to which I was denied access to those additional read-on’s. I made the decision based on the data I collected, to report this information to my superiors and multiple Inspectors General, and in effect become a whistleblower. As you know, I have suffered retaliation for my decision. But I am hopeful that my actions will ultimately lead to a positive outcome of increased transparency. Thank you. I am happy to answer your questions. Closing Statement It is with a heavy heart and a determined spirit that I stand, under oath, before you today, having made the decision based on the data I collected, and reported, to provide this information to the committee. I am driven in this duty by a conviction to expose what I viewed as a grave congressional oversight issue and a potential abuse of executive branch authorities. This endeavor was not born out of malice or dissatisfaction, but from an unwavering commitment to truth and transparency, an endeavor rooted in our inherent duty to uphold the United States Constitution, protect the American People, and seek insights into this matter that have the potential to redefine our understanding of the world.
