Below is The Debrief article that introduced UFO whistleblower David Charles Grusch to the public. This article, in part, led to the July 26, 2023, US House of Representatives (HOR) Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs’ hearing on UFOs/UAP. It was Inspector General Intelligence Community (IG IC) Thomas A. Monheim who referred David Grusch to the Congressional Intel Committee with the admonition that Grusch’s allegations were “urgent and credible”. He should be questioned about this under oath.

It is a felony to lie under oath to Congress.

On July 26, 2023, US intel officer turned UFO whistleblower David Grusch testified to Congress, under oath, the following:

• He is coming forward with this information due to his sense of obligation to honor the oath he took to uphold the Constitution of the United States.
• From 2019 to 2021 he served on the original UAP Task Force (UAPTF). (The UAPTF at that time reported to the Deputy Secretary of Defense David Norquist.)
• The United States Government (USG) has retrieved multiple extraterrestrial (ET) spacecraft, some damaged but some intact.
• The US government has known about the existence of crashed spacecraft of non-human origin since 1933 when such a (crashed) craft was recovered near Magenta, Italy and was then “scooped” by the United States’ military.
• “The Program” (the term used by Grusch) to study and reverse-engineer these multiple non-human spacecrafts has existed within the US Department of Defense (DoD), liaising with privileged private US aerospace companies, for many decades.
• Non-human (ET) UFO pilot remains, which Grusch refered to as “biologics”, have been recovered, retained, and studied in “The Program”.
• “The Program” is directed by a group of career government officials who are both in and out of government.
• For decades there has existed a counterintelligence / disinformation campaign intended to disenfranchise American citizens from this critical information, and he is aware of the “tradecraft” that has been applied to accomplish this mission. He will detail that “tradecraft” in a classified setting.
• He and many other potential whistleblowers (~ 40?) have been harassed and threatened in malicious attempts to discourage their coming forward to Congress and to the public with this information. Grusch refers to this as “administrative terrorism”.
• He declines to answer in this public hearing but would answer in a SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility) whether some people have been murdered to keep these facts away from the American public.
• He can provide a list of insider individuals “in the know” who are either hostile to or supportive of disclosing this information to the public.
• He alleges misappropriations of government (taxpayer) funds that are illegally funneled to corporations based on IRAD (Independent Research and Development) invoices rather than competitive government bidding.
• He stated he believes the “secrecy” and the deliberately constructed stigma surrounding UFOs/UAP has become a threat to the national security of the United States.
• On April 22, 2022 Grusch briefed the head of AARO, Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, about “his concerns” and provided Kirkpatrick with details of “where to look”.

History

The UAP Task Force (UAPTF) was established by The Pentagon at the behest of Congress on August 4, 2020. Retired intel officer turned whistleblower David Grusch testified that he was on the staff of the original UAPTF. On November 23, 2021, the UAPTF inexplicably morphed into the awkward sounding AOIMSG, the Airborn Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group that was headed by Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, PhD. Within 8 months, AOIMSG devolved into the present-day All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), established on July 20, 2022, that continues to be headed by Dr. Kirkpatrick. Grusch has never claimed that he worked with AARO but has noted that he reported certain findings to AARO during his subsequent work with the NRO (National Reconaissance Office) and/or the NGA (National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency). In a letter (below), Dr. Kirkpatrick denies this.

In his book In Plain Sight, journalist Ross Coulthart writes that during a series of phone calls with a dying US Dept. of Naval Research director Nat Kobitz, Coulthart asked him about “The Program” to reverse engineer recovered alien technology. Kobitz admitted to Coulthart that “The Program” does, in fact, exist. Listen to Coulthart’s account of that exchange as presented through Project Unity:

Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, PhD

When we listen to Dr. Kirkpatrick’s recent interview with ABC News correspondent, at the 6:20 mark we hear this exchange:

DWYER: “You can say categorically that you have seen no convincing, confirmable evidence of intact spacecraft kept by the US government?”

KIRKPATRICK: “No, I have seen nothing that leads me to that conclusion.”

DWYER: “Is it possible there is some secret program that you are just not aware of?”

KIRKPATRICK: “I don’t think so. I have access to anything and everything I need.”

So, there is a glaring conflict between the testimony given under oath to Congress by David Grusch and what Dr. Kirkpatrick casually states in this interview with ABC’s Devin Dwyer. Must American citizens parse every single word spoken by our employees in government to get to the truth about non-human UFOs/UAP and the legacy programs in place to reverse-engineer them?

On July 28, 2023, this letter of rebuttal, allegedly written by Dr. Kirkpatrick and posted to his LinkedIn account, appeared on social media. I saw it on Twitter.

The letter is undated. There is no DoD letterhead. The letter is unsigned. Regarding the contents of the letter, we should question the following:

1. Why is Dr. Kirkpatrick responding to Grusch’s allegation (that he gave Kirkpatrick the names of corporations, divisions, and individuals involved in “The Program” on April 22, 2022) via his personal LinkedIn page in a letter that does not carry the DoD or DNI letterhead, i.e., in an apparently unofficial capacity?
2. If AARO is trying to remove the stigma attached to UFOs/UAP, why does Kirkpatrick claim that those who chose to work for AARO did so “with not unreasonable anxieties about the career risks this would entail.” Such a statement subtlety reinforces the UFO/UAP stigma.
3. During the July 26 hearing there was no specific statement from Grusch that any member of AARO was personally responsible for the retaliation, harassment, threats, and even murders that Grusch alleges or intimates have occurred, yet Kirkpatrick’s response suggests that such allegations against AARO were made by Grusch. I did not hear that in Grusch’s testimony.
4. Kirkpatrick states that Grusch refused to speak with AARO. Grusch stated that he spoke with Kirkpatrick about “his concerns” on April 22, 2022. Thus, Grusch presented his concerns to AOIMSG which was also headed by Kirkpatrick in April 2022. Therefore, Kirkpatrick has received the information from Grusch about “The Program” but has either ignored it or, for some reason, failed to act on it. Either way, one of these two men is lying.
5. Kirkpatrick states that some information Grusch has presented to Congress has not been presented to AARO. Given that Congress specifically mandated the establishment of AARO to get to the truth about UFOs/UAP, this allegation seems highly unlikely. If Kirkpatrick doesn’t have that information, how would he know this?
6. During AARO’s briefing of the Senate Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities chaired by Kirsten Gillibrand in April 2023 (3 months ago), Dr. Kirkpatrick went out of his way to make this statement, for the record, but not under oath: “AARO has found no credible evidence thus far of extraterrestrial activity, off-world technology, or objects that defy the known laws of physics.” He added that, “In the event sufficient scientific data were ever obtained that a UAP encountered can only be explained by extraterrestrial origin, we are committed to working with our interagency partners at NASA to appropriately inform U.S. government leadership of its findings.” In other words, that will never happen.
7. In the last paragraph of his rebuttal, Kirkpatrick doubles down on his position that “AARO has yet to find any credible evidence to support the allegations of any reverse-engineering program for non-human technology.”

AARO’s Remit

The AARO Executive Council (AAROEXEC), led by Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence & Security (USD(I&S)) Ronald Moultrie, will provide oversight and direction to the AARO along these primary lines of effort:

    1. Surveillance, Collection and Reporting
    2. System Capabilities and Design
    3. Intelligence Operations and Analysis
    4. Mitigation and Defeat (of what?)
    5. Governance
    6. Science and Technology

In none of these “lines of effort” is AARO instructed to break down the doors of the corporations, divisions, and individuals that have been named by Grusch as part of “The Program”. AARO has not been tasked with analyzing historic UFO events like the Roswell incident, the Phoenix Lights incident, the Aztec NM incident, the Ariel School contact event, the Tehran Iran incident, the Varginha Brazil incidents, the 1952 UFOs over the US Capital incident, or any other past UFO events. Nor has AARO been tasked with following up on the claims of any whistleblowers like Robert Salas regarding multiple instances when UFOs have disabled US nuclear weapons. None of this is supposed to be in the wheelhouse of AARO, so why has Dr. Kirkpatrick gone out of his way, once again, to rebuke the whistleblowers and the Congressional subcommittee that held last Wednesday’s hearing while reiterating his pronouncement that AARO “has yet to find any credible evidence of any reverse-engineering program for non-human technology”? Is the meaning of “He who doth protest too much” reflected in Dr. Kirkpatrick’s somewhat bizarre behaviors? I think so.

Of course, Dr. Kirkpatrick and AARO have not found such evidence. They have not been looking for such evidence because it is not in their job description! Why does Dr. Kirkpatrick seem to want us to think that it is, that they have looked, and they have found nothing in regard “The Program”, extraterrestrials, recovered spacecraft, etc.?

Grusch’s Term “Tradecraft” – What Does it Entail?

Control the narrative by controlling classified access to information through claims of national security. That AARO (the only officially acknowledged USG office we have to investigate UFOs) and (counter)intelligence officer Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick answer only to officials only within DoD and DNI is an obvious case of “the fox guarding the hen house”. These are the very same USG organizations within the executive branch that have been involved in gaslighting American citizens about the “nonexistence” of recovered non-human spacecrafts, programs to reverse-engineer those spacecrafts, and the non-human intelligence (NHI) behind those crafts. This, despite citizens reporting UFOs in the skies all over the world for decades. By keeping UFO-related information confined within the DoD and DNI and protecting that information under the guise of national security, the media and the public can only rely on patriotic whistleblowers like Col. Jesse A. Marcel, Jr., MD, David Grusch, Capt. Robert Salas, Col. Philip Corso, Capt. David Schindele, and many others to wrench the truth from those in the DoD and DNI who, like Dr. Kirkpatrick, have no intention of ever revealing any truth about UFOs to American citizens.

Control the narrative by keeping things confusing. It’s no longer UFO. Now it’s UAP. It’s UAP Task Force. No, now it’s AOIMSG (“pronounced AIMSOG”), the Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group. Wait, instead let’s go with AARO, the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office. It’s not “aerial”, now it’s “anomalous”. Get the (confusing) picture? This is our government allegedly working for us.

Control the narrative by controlling a malleable and cooperative mainstream media. It is July 29, three full days after the historic revelations of the July 26, 2023, 10 AM EST Congressional hearing on UFOs/UAP. The story of this event has not appeared in a single front-page headline of the New York Times or the Washington Post. Alarm bells. We find ourselves (gratefully) relying on independent online news sources like News Nation and various online podcasts like Need to Know, Weaponized, and Project Unity to help us understand what is happening. When convenient or necessary, the secret-keepers will use MSM news outlets like ABC (above) to reinforce the notion that “no evidence of extraterrestrials has been discovered.” Today’s example is on full display with SETI’s Seth Shostak penning this article for publication through MSNBC. These are very recent cases of the “extremely unethical and immoral” counterintelligence campaign of misinformation and disinformation (gaslighting) Grusch has mentioned that has been waged against American citizens for decades.

Control the narrative by denigrating or compromising witnesses and whistleblowers. This strategy is exactly what we see in Dr. Kirkpatrick’s letter above as he derides David Grusch and the House Subcommittee for besmirching the work of AARO and implying that accusations of harrassment and threats were leveled at AARO – which did not really happen during the hearing. Watch it (above) for yourself. Dr. Kirkpatrick paints AARO as a whistleblower – friendly organization, inviting whistleblowers to his office within the DoD that has been hostile to UFO Disclosure from the beginning. Whistleblowers are allegedly referring to AARO as a “honey pot” to attract and then “manage” them via tried-and-true measures of counterintelligence. If I could be a whistleblower, AARO is the last place I would look to for support. Go to Congress. Go to Ryan Graves via Americans for Safe Aerospace. Go to George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell. Luis Elizondo or Chris Mellon. Go to any of these other than Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick at AARO. In my opinion he is not to be trusted.

Control the narrative by stirring sentiments of American patriotism. In his letter Dr. Kirkpatrick exhibits this strategy in full bloom, emphasizing how devoted AARO is to truth and transparency. How Grusch’s testimony is an insult to AARO, its employees, and to the (widely beloved) US Dept. of Defense. He expounds on how AARO ‘s staff are “pouring their hearts” into finding the truth while being wrongfully maligned by David Grusch. There is a battle for your mind going on here, and AARO must not be allowed to prevail. The DoD and IC are being painted into a corner, there exists no graceful way out of what is coming, and they will fight tooth and nail with all of these “tradecraft” counterintelligence strategies to worm their way out of the profound mess they have created through decades of misleading the public about UFOs.

Control the narrative by lies of commission and omission. Dr. Kirkpatrick may not have personally seen evidence of non-human technology, or recovered alien spacecrafts, or non-human “biologics”, or “The Program(s)” where these are physically housed, but we can be certain he knows that these exist. He simply has not officially looked for these programs, despite the fact that he was made aware of them in April 2022. Looking for them has never been part of his or AARO’s formal job description. Do not call this man to testify to Congress under oath. That move will mark the end of the beginning of UFO truth and transparency.

Conclusion

It is critical that more USG whistleblowers, preferably first-hand whistleblowers, step forward at this moment in time in support of Grusch’s claims! Grusch reassures us they are out there, and they also want this information revealed! Your country and this planet need your testimony. Please come forward!

It is rumored that another open public hearing will take place in September 2023 in the Senate when Congress returns from its summer recess. Given what we now know, this should happen “toot suite” upon their return to Washington DC. Every allegation made by Grusch is of such importance that no more time should be wasted entertaining the rantings of Dr. Kirkpatrick, Mick West, Steven Greenstreet, Dr. Seth Shostak, Michael Schermer, James Oberg, and others like them who are part of a shrinking faction of citizens and officials within our government who have, for decades, been hiding this information from Congress and the American people by every means at their disposal.

Congress MUST take the reins of the UFO narrative. We do not want a military mindset bent on “mitigation and defeat” of the non-human extraterrestrial civilization(s) currently in contact with this planet and with our civilization to control our responses to what is happening. Any non-human intelligence arriving here will be, a priori, much more advanced in their technology, and that likely includes their weaponry. We live in an ancient and infinite Universe. There will be many intelligent civilizations out there who will arrive here before we get there. Intelligence explores. It’s what they do. Greeting them with nuclear weapons raised will not be a foreign policy in our best interests. A little humility will go a long way here. We are a nascent civilization, and we are at a crossroads.

Global climate change (GCC) is real. Our only planet is literally on fire. Ocean temperatures of 101 F are today reported off the coast of Florida. Sensitive corals are dying worldwide. Both the Arctic and Antarctic ice sheets are collapsing.

Canada and Europe are being ravaged by the worst wildfire seasons they have ever experienced. Billions of creatures died in the horrific wildfires of Australia in 2019.

In this paper titled Estimating Flight Characteristics of Anomalous Unidentified Aerial Vehicles, a professor of physics at SUNY, Dr. Kevin Knuth, PhD, Robert Powell, and Dr. Peter Reali made an approximate calculation of the UFO’s energy output during the Tic Tac UFO incident using data recalled by USS Princeton radar officer Kevin Day. Knuth’s estimate was 1100 GW (that’s 1000 million watts), more than 10 times the current amount of nuclear energy produced in the US today! Recovered NHI technologies released to the world’s scientific community today might allow us to transition away from fossil fuels in short order and avoid the full-blown consequences of GCC tomorrow.

Our civilization is facing an existential crisis on many fronts. Vladimir Putin is brandishing nuclear weapons in the war in Ukraine. The NHI’s apparent warnings about our nuclear weapons should not go unheeded much longer. The US DoD should partner with ICAN, the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, sign the UN’s Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, and begin the complex process of banning nuclear weapons worldwide.

UFO whistleblowers, time is wasting. It is time to speak now or, perhaps forever, hold your peace. Your move.
