Former U.S. Air Force Officer Claims the United States Knows Several Types of Alien Life in New Press Conference – Watch
David Grusch, the former U.S. Air Force officer who became a prominent figure in the modern UFO disclosure movement in 2023, returned to public attention this week after appearing at a Washington, DC event with other whistleblowers and lawmakers calling for greater transparency about unidentified aerial phenomena. According to reports from the gathering, Grusch said the U.S. government is aware of “several” different types of extraterrestrial life, a claim that immediately revived debate among supporters and skeptics. He did not provide details about what those life forms might be, how they differ, how advanced they are, or what evidence supports the assertion.
The event took place on Tuesday in Washington and centered on demands for the release of information that disclosure advocates believe has been withheld from the public for years. Among the records sought are materials tied to the 1996 Varginha Incident in Brazil, in which residents reported encounters with mysterious non-human beings. The timing of the event also drew attention because it came just days before the global release of Stephen Spielberg’s new film “Disclosure Day,” a fictional story about humanity learning that extraterrestrials are real.
The Capitol gathering highlighted a rare point of bipartisan agreement in Washington. Lawmakers from both major parties appeared together in support of more openness on UAP-related matters. Representative Jared Moskowitz, a Democrat, said, “Disclosure today, disclosure tomorrow. The American people deserve to know.” Representative Eric Burlison, a Republican, argued that Americans have been “treated like children” and kept out of the loop on government secrets.
Beyond questions about extraterrestrial life, disclosure advocates say the issue also involves highly classified Special Access Programs and government spending. Some lawmakers argue that Congress itself may not have full visibility into certain projects or expenditures. Grusch echoed those concerns at the event, saying the matters under discussion go beyond the question of life in the universe and that political appointees have not complied with disclosure law.
Skeptics, however, note that Grusch’s earlier allegations were reviewed by federal investigators after his 2023 congressional testimony. In 2024, the Pentagon’s Anomaly Resolution Office said it found no evidence that the U.S. government possessed recovered extraterrestrial technology or non-human biological material. Despite that conclusion, the disclosure movement remains active, and the latest remarks have once again intensified public debate over whether the government knows more about unidentified aerial phenomena than it has admitted.
For now, the controversy leaves unanswered questions, competing claims, and renewed public fascination with the possibility that humanity is not alone in the universe.
