House Oversight and Accountability Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs. Hearing: "Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Implications on National Security, Public Safety, and Government Transparency." July 26, 2023. David Grusch, former National Reconnaissance Office Representative to the UAP Task Force, witness. Sworn testimony. Public record.
REP. BURCHETT: And you believe that our government has , is in possession of UAPs?
GRUSCH: Absolutely, based on interviewing over 40 witnesses over four years. [...]
GRUSCH: I was informed in the course of my official duties of a multi-decade UAP crash retrieval and reverse engineering program to which I was denied access. [...]
GRUSCH: UAP-related information has been illegally withheld from Congress. [...]
GRUSCH: I do have knowledge of a specific [program] , a specific vehicle , that is run by a contractor, not by the government directly, and the reason for that is in part obfuscation from oversight. [...]
REP. LUNA: Is it the position of the witnesses that special access programs , SAPs , have been used to hide UAP-related programs from congressional oversight?
GRUSCH: Yes, congresswoman. [...]
GRUSCH: I know of multiple colleagues who faced very similar experiences and have been harmed. [...]
GRUSCH: I have specific knowledge, for example, of threats, people have been threatened, as well as at least one physical harm case. [...]
REP. MOSKOWITZ: Do you have direct knowledge , or have you spoken to people with direct knowledge , of imagery of crash sites?
GRUSCH: I can't discuss that in an open session. [...]
GRUSCH: [Regarding naming specific programs and locations] I can provide that information in a classified setting, which I have already done with the appropriate congressional committees. [...]
REP. GAETZ: Every person watching this knows that we need to meet with Mr. Grusch in a secure compartmentalized facility so that we can get fulsome answers that do not put him in jeopardy. [...]
REP. BURCHETT: [After the hearing, to press] We have been denied access to a SCIF to do a classified interview with Mr. Grusch. We are demanding that change. [...]

Retired Navy Commander David Fravor and Navy pilot Ryan Graves. Opening statements. Same hearing, July 26, 2023. Fravor led the 2004 USS Nimitz encounter. Graves reported sustained UAP observations in restricted airspace.
FRAVOR: The object was far superior to anything we had at the time, have today or are looking to develop in the next 10-plus years. [...]
FRAVOR: The Tic Tac object that we engaged in November 2004 was not from this world. [...]
FRAVOR: It had no wings, no control surfaces, no exhaust plume. It accelerated from a standing start to hypersonic velocity and was gone in less than a second. [...]
GRAVES: UAP are in our airspace, but they are grossly underreported. These phenomena have been encountered by trained military aviators [...] in restricted airspace, suggesting [they] are not a rare occurrence. [...]
GRAVES: In my eleven years of service, I never filed a report [about UAP observations] and never met a pilot who had. The stigma was, and in many cases still is, overwhelming. [...]
GRAVES: We are not only risking valuable intelligence about strategic competitors [...] but also potentially the safety of our pilots and the public as we overlook a potential [aviation] safety issue. [...]

Intelligence Community Inspector General determination on David Grusch's whistleblower complaint, 2022. The specific text of the ICIG determination letter is classified. The following documents the determination through publicly confirmed sources: Grusch's own statements, statements by his legal counsel, and congressional confirmation from members who received the ICIG notification.
[Grusch] filed a Disclosure of Urgent Concern and Complaint of Reprisal with the Intelligence Community Inspector General. The IC Inspector General deemed elements of his complaint "credible and urgent" and notified congressional intelligence committees. [UAPedia, citing public statements by Grusch and his legal counsel. Confirmed in congressional testimony.]
[Congressional member statement]: The Inspector General of the Intelligence Community found Mr. Grusch's complaint credible and urgent. That is the standard set by Congress for whistleblower complaints that require congressional notification. That standard was met. The implications of that finding being met are significant. [Composite of congressional member statements in the public record, July 26, 2023 hearing and subsequent press statements.]
ICIG Thomas Monheim conducted a closed-door session with House members in January 2024 specifically focused on UAP reporting transparency. The contents of that session are not publicly available. [Congressional record and press reporting, January 2024.] [...]
Note on the classified supplement: Grusch testified on July 26, 2023 that his classified complaint and supporting materials had been provided to the appropriate congressional committees. A classified supplement to his public testimony was prepared. The classified supplement has not been publicly released. Congressional members who received it have confirmed its existence. Its contents are unknown to the public. The classified complaint itself, which the ICIG reviewed to make its "credible and urgent" determination, also remains classified.
All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office. Historical Record Report, Volume I. Cleared for public release March 8, 2024. The report represents AARO's review of all official U.S. government UAP investigatory efforts since 1945, based on classified and unclassified archives and approximately 30 interviews. Available at media.defense.gov.
AARO has found no verifiable evidence for claims that the U.S. Government or private companies have been reverse-engineering extraterrestrial technology. AARO has also not discovered any verifiable information to substantiate claims that any current or former U.S. government employee has been involved in the illegal concealment of UAP information from Congress. [AARO Historical Record Report, Volume I, March 2024, p. 2.]
AARO reviewed all official USG investigatory efforts since 1945, researched classified and unclassified archives, conducted approximately 30 interviews, and partnered with Intelligence Community and Department of Defense officials responsible for controlled and special access program oversight. [AARO Historical Record Report, Volume I, p. 3.]
AARO has established a secure mechanism to facilitate reporting by current and former U.S. government employees, military members, and contractor personnel who believe they have relevant information about UAP. [...]
AARO encourages current and former government employees and contractors with knowledge relevant to the allegations addressed in this report to contact AARO directly. [AARO Historical Record Report, Volume I.]
The contradiction: The ICIG, which reviewed Grusch's classified complaint in 2022, determined it was "credible and urgent" and notified Congress. AARO, which conducted its own review with access to classified programs in 2023-2024, found "no verifiable evidence." Both bodies operate within the same U.S. government structure. Both had access to classified information. Their conclusions on whether programs exist that are being concealed from Congress point in directly opposite directions. Neither body has published the classified basis for its conclusion.

NASA Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Independent Study Team Final Report. Released September 14, 2023. 33 pages. 16-expert panel chaired by David Spergel, astrophysicist and president of the Simons Foundation. Based solely on unclassified data. science.nasa.gov.
There are currently a limited number of high-quality observations of UAP, which currently make it impossible to draw firm scientific conclusions about their nature. The current data collection efforts are not comprehensive, and the data that is collected is not adequately catalogued and shared. [NASA UAP Report, September 2023.]
We recommend that NASA play a prominent role in the whole-of-government effort to understand UAP by leveraging its extensive expertise to contribute to a comprehensive, evidence-based approach that is rooted in the scientific method. [NASA UAP Report.]
The stigma associated with UAP reporting must be reduced in order to improve data collection. The current stigma associated with reporting UAP, stemming in part from the historical association of UAP with sensationalism, has impeded the collection of data that could advance scientific understanding. [NASA UAP Report.]
NASA Administrator Bill Nelson announced the creation of a Director of UAP Research position on September 14, 2023. The identity of the person named to hold the position was withheld by NASA. The stated reason: to prevent harassment. [NASA press conference, September 14, 2023.]
[Nelson, at the press conference]: This [UAP research] work requires a great deal of courage and we need to make sure this individual can do their job without being harassed. [...]

The public record confirms: the ICIG determined Grusch's complaint credible and urgent; Grusch testified under oath to the existence of covert UAP programs run through private contractors to avoid congressional oversight; Fravor described a 2004 encounter with an object far superior to current U.S. technology with no known propulsion or control systems; AARO found no verifiable evidence of such programs; NASA's UAP study found current data insufficient to draw scientific conclusions and called for reduced stigma in reporting; NASA created a UAP research director whose identity is kept secret; Congress was denied SCIF access for a classified interview with the primary whistleblower; the classified supplement to Grusch's testimony has not been released.
What remains classified and publicly unknown: the classified complaint Grusch filed with the ICIG; the classified basis for the ICIG's "credible and urgent" determination; the classified supplement to Grusch's public testimony; the full transcript of the ICIG's January 2024 closed-door session with House members; the identity of NASA's Director of UAP Research; and the classified databases AARO accessed that led to its finding of no verifiable evidence.
The Interference begins with a patent. US3951134, filed in 1974, describes a device for remotely monitoring and altering human brain waves without physical contact. The patent is real. The USPTO granted it. The documents on this site are what precedes it.
The fiction begins exactly where the public record stops answering questions.
