Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, head of the U.S. Government’s UAP office, recently made the following comment about David Grusch’s claims regarding recovered ET tech:

“We are investigating each and every one of [Grusch’s claims & leads]. … There are some bits of information that are turning out to be things and events that really happened.”

As I’ve said before, David Grusch is genuine and sincere. Moreover, I’ve heard the same claim from a number of other serious and well-placed officials. I’m confident that Congress will find more reasons to take these profound claims seriously as they continue their investigation.

    It’ll be interesting to see if Dr. Kirkpatrick pulls a Dr. Hynek and does a full 180 of his views on The Phenomenon as soon as he steps down.

      I’m curious what the historical review he’s wrapping up before leaving will look like. His work so far with AARO aligns with the history of Project Blue Book and, like Hynek, it’s clear that Kirkpatrick is open to or even embraces the idea of NHI on a personal level. With the unknown members and agenda of AARO’s governing group, AAROExec, there’s really no telling how much of Kirkpatrick’s actions have been influenced or are done on his own accord.

        I’m thankful to see someone who can be objective about Kirkpatrick. I’m not sure what people expect but you don’t get jobs like this if you are a loose cannon who spills the beans at your first press conference.

        I want to know it all, too. My hope is the next person will open the cupboard door a little more. We all know this is a gradual process.

    This is not meant as snark, but where is the physical evidence? Even if it’s a piece of metal with curious properties or something.

      Allegedly in the hands of government contractors, where it’s in a grey area of both under and out of the hands of military and government. Then there’s the layers of security clearance, where you have to essentially be in the group to have access to any details. The lack of transparency by these groups even within our own government is what fuels the speculation on what, if anything, may have been recovered over the years.
