The video Grusch described, of people arriving at a crash to find 'tall blue skin type Nordic type' beings on the ground, is 'not to my knowledge in the possession of our government. It is in the possession of a contractor', and 'from what I've been told, they're not willing to talk to anybody'.Burlison has not seen the footage and has found no proof of a crash-retrieval program yet; Grusch left with no documents and clears everything through DOPSR.secondhandunnamed sources → Eric Burlison (The Big Picture with Pastor Larry, Oct 2026) → Cristina Gomez → told itDavid Grusch
Jay Stratton took him to Skinwalker Ranch, where 'something happened overnight'; the people at the ranch, born-again Christians, told him they see it as a place of 'spiritual warfare'. He did not experience the hitchhiker effect, and likens calling in orbs to a tribe whose ritual seems to summon a passing plane.firsthandEric Burlison (The Big Picture, Oct 2026) → Cristina Gomez → told itJay Stratton
