U.S. Has UFOs of 'Non-Human Origin', Ex-Intelligence Officer Claims

Newsweek


An ex-U.S. military and intelligence worker has given an interview in which he says that the U.S. has found and covered up several "non-human origin" crafts.
David Grusch, a 36-year-old airforce veteran, told NewsNation on Monday evening that a top-secret military program found the wreckage of fully intact UFOs, or "unidentified aerial phenomena" (UAPs).
"These are retrieving non-human origin technical vehicles, call it spacecraft if you will, non-human exotic origin vehicles that have either landed or crashed," Grusch said. He added that, in those wreckages, the pilots of the craft were found.

However, if we have recovered UFOs - and especially alien beings - Trump would presumably have been informed and would have blabbed about it. That man could not keep his mouth shut about such an explosive development.

Only if it was recovered during his administration and even then it's a maybe. If he, or any other president, were to be informed about everything the executive department does it would be such an information overload his brain would explode.

about evidence of aliens. They're going to reveal these things one at a time in order to give people time to digest it. It's going to be a blow to religion, and that's good. But they'll come up with some shit to incorporate the aliens, too. I think a new religion will emerge, one that will encompass the cosmos. Maybe the government has to reveal these things; maybe the aliens have told them that we can reveal these things or they will.

But I think they've been coming here for a long time. They might have been here all along. It's a big ocean, and Cthulhu and his minions are going to rise up one day. Lots of underground caverns and water under the land. A being could hide out and never be detected. I think there's beings on other planets, too. I know it's been said, but that would be a whole lot of wasted space if we were the only intelligent life, and we're not as intelligent as we think we are.

I can usually spot a liar, and he didn't look like he was lying. The culture of secrecy of the Defense Department and other agencies helps them attack people who speak up and they make fun of them. None of these people seem to have any physical evidence, so a lot of 'experts' dismiss their claims. But I think a lot of them are being truthful.

There have been thousands of books and movies about alien visitation. Half the public already believes we have been visited.
The society panic idiocy is just a poor excuse for those who believe the government has evidence they won't release.
It conspiracy theory 101.

I'd love it if aliens came to Earth.

But TO DATE, none of this stuff has been shown to be real.

There are three groups of "true believers."

1. Crazies.
2. "The Cause" pushers.
3. Grifters.

and thus, the "God" and "Father" we should be worshipping,
is actually the aliens who planted us here....

I will say that I knew nothing about anything with non-human origins. Not a thing.
