If you are a bit of space geek, you'll be well aware of all the research going on at NASA right now regarding UFOs.
Just last week, the space agency released its preliminary findings from an independent study, with more information surrounding potential UFOs coming in July.
But this one Air Force veteran believes the US government may be ahead of the game on this one, as he has claimed they have recovered materials that could be proof of UFOs.

David Charles Grusch, a veteran and former member of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and National Reconnaissance Office, says the US government has an intact craft of 'non-human origin', but they are deciding to keep this a secret from the public.
Now, Grusch has decided to spill the beans by speaking to a bunch of news outlets.
According to The Debrief, Grusch served as a senior technical adviser for Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) analysis with Top Secret/Secret Compartmented Information clearance - suggesting he could be privy to such information.

They also say he served as a senior intelligence officer in the National Reconnaissance Office - amassing a total of 14 years as an intelligence officer.
Spilling all to NewsNation said, the former intelligence officer said: "These are retrieving non-human origin technical vehicles, call it a spacecraft if you will, non-human exotic origin vehicles that have either landed or crashed."
Grusch said he was refused access to a materials recovery programme that included physical evidence of crafts while he was at the UAP task force.
"I thought it was totally nuts and I thought at first I was being deceived, it was a ruse," he continued.

"People started to confide in me. Approach me. I have plenty of senior, former intelligence officers that came to me, many of which I knew almost my whole career, that confided in me that they were part of a program."
In a separate interview with The Debrief, Grusch said he had prepared for many briefs on UFOs for Congress, but last year decided to provide hours of classified information and data about this apparent materials recovery programme.
He claims the programme was swayed away from proper congressional oversight, with a document seen by The Debrief saying Grusch has knowledge that UAP-related information is being withheld or even concealed from Congress.

According to a 2021 complaint, Grusch confidentially provided classified information to the Department of Defense Inspector General - but he believes his identity was outed.
As a result, he is now filling a whistleblower complaint, claiming he suffered retaliation for disclosing confidential information.
