UFO whistleblower David Grusch: 'We are not alone'

What it discusses

David Grusch describes how his UAP Task Force work led him to believe classified programs possess craft of alleged non-human origin, and discusses his whistleblower complaint, alleged reprisals, and claims of concealed retrieval programs.

Why it is notable

This was the first sustained public presentation of the claims that subsequently dominated the July 2023 congressional hearing and disclosure-legislation debate.
