![]() The desire to investigate UFOs/UAPs is a rare example of bipartisan consensus in Washington. This time, we have a high-ranking former intelligence official claiming that much of what the fringiest conspiracy theorists have long claimed regarding UFOs might have the tinge of truth about it-and Capitol Hill is taking his claims seriously. After Kean and Blumenthal’s initial report, we’re no longer in tinfoil-hat territory-there’s no music from The X-Files or clips from Independence Day playing in the newscasts. In an interview with NewsNation, Grusch also claimed that they found bodies of the creatures that piloted those vehicles.* Grusch has already testified before Congress in closed-door sessions, and will join others in the public testimony that has been scheduled in the House of Representatives for July 26.ĭespite the fact that UFOs have been in popular culture for decades, there’s something about this moment that feels categorically different. Six years later, two of the journalists who worked on that report for the Times-Leslie Kean and Ralph Blumenthal-published an article in the Debrief in which a former intelligence official named David Grusch claimed that the government and various aerospace companies possessed objects “of exotic origin (non-human intelligence, whether extraterrestrial or unknown origin),” including aircraft (or sea-craft, in some cases). ![]() UFOs found their way back into the mainstream spotlight in 2017 when the New York Times reported on the existence of a clandestine Pentagon program dedicated to investigating “aircraft that seemed to move at very high velocities with no visible signs of propulsion, or that hovered with no apparent means of lift.” There have been groups of people who believe that the government and various corporations are in possession of alien technology and bodies since July 1947 (or in some cases, even earlier), when it was claimed that a flying saucer of extraterrestrial origin crashed in the small desert town of Roswell, New Mexico. Unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, are a mainstay of pop culture, but have long been considered fringe by both scientists and the media. In the coming weeks and months, the phrase “Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon”-the rebranding of the old, loaded term “UFO”-is going to enter the popular lexicon as Congress begins a series of unprecedented public hearings on the topic.
