The recovery teams

Someone has to go and get the craft. In the 1950s and 1960s it was the Air Force: Stringfield's "Blue Berets", Moon Dust and Blue Fly. Army and Marine units were pressed in when a crash fell near them, then sworn to silence. From 2003 the CIA's Office of Global Access works with JSOC. And from 2004 company teams with their own guns appear, until the government's teams and the companies' teams are firing on each other.

Grusch on JRE live Q&A, Oct 2026
I'm very confident there has been blue on blue on red kinetic action between adversarial human retrieval teams.

The claim, in UAP Gerb’s words

“The recovery mission moved from Air Force intelligence to JSOC and the CIA, and then split: private teams now work beside, and sometimes against, the government's own.”
