Before a packed hearing room, with Reps. Tim Burchett, Anna Paulina Luna, Eric Burlison and Jared Moskowitz leading, David Grusch testified that the U.S. has a decades-long UAP crash-retrieval and reverse-engineering program. Asked if the U.S. has recovered bodies, he said 'biologics came with some of these recoveries' and that they were 'non-human'. He said he knew of people harmed to protect the secret and of funds misused, and offered details only in a closed session. David Fravor described the Tic Tac. Ryan Graves said pilots were seeing UAP 'every day for at least a couple years'.
