Pentagon says 'no proof' of top secret UFO retrieval program described by ... trends now
The Pentagon today said it had 'no proof' of the top-secret UFOs retrieval program that a military whistleblower claims has discovered 'a number' of aircraft and 'non human' pilots.
On Monday night, David Charles Grusch, an Air Force veteran and former member of the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, made the astonishing, on-air claims that the US and other nations are engaged in a top-secret arms race to 'reverse-engineer' alien technology, and that the US has recovered 'quite a number' of UFOs.
The House Oversight Committee has launched an investigation and intends to hold a hearing about the topic.
Grusch claims the government has been lying about the program for decades.
Today, the Pentagon denied knowing about such a program.
'To date, AARO has not discovered any verifiable information to substantiate claims that any programs regarding the possession or have existed in the past or exist currently,' Susan Gough, a Department of Defense spokesman, told Fox News.
AARO stands for All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, the branch of the Pentagon that is tasked with Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs), but what others call UFOs.
Her denial of knowledge has little bearing on Grusch's claims. Indeed in his first comments, he acknowledged that very few at the DoD would have knowledge of the program.
