David Grusch is a former midranking civilian intelligence officer and Air Force veteran. In July 2021, Grusch filed a whistleblower complaint to the Defense Department's inspector general alleging the existence of a covert public-private sector program to retrieve and exploit crashed, unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, or what the government refers to as unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAPs. Grusch subsequently briefed Congress on his assertions.

Writing for the Debrief last week, Leslie Kean and Ralph Blumenthal documented the broad substance of Grusch's claims. In response, the government and military have continued to deny that they have evidence of any such program existing. Grusch went into more detail on his claims during an interview with journalist Ross Coulthart that aired on NewsNation on Sunday evening. In that interview, Grusch claimed that the United States retains multiple craft originally constructed by a "non-human intelligence" and that the public and Congress are being lied to.
