Alien spacecraft testimony could ‘change the world’, UFO expert says
Leading UFO expert Nick Pope has said evidence from today’s congressional hearing into unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) could ‘change the world’.
Three former intelligence and military personnel will testify before an oversight committee, sharing their experiences of UAPs.
One of the trio, David Charles Grusch, made headlines in June when alleging the US government was hiding physical evidence of ‘intact and partially intact’ alien vehicles.
In an interview with the Debrief, he also said information on the vehicles was being kept from Congress, and when he turned over classified information about the vehicles to Congress, he suffered retaliation from officials.
Today he will say: ‘In an era, fraught with division and discord, our exploration into the UAP subject seems to resonate with an urgency and fascination that transcends political, social, and geographical boundaries.
‘A democratic process must be adhered to when evaluating the data and it is our collective responsibility to ensure that public involvement is encouraged and respected.’
Speaking ahead of the hearing, Mr Pope said: ‘Today’s hearing is historic. Military pilots who have encountered UFOs, and someone who served on the US government’s UAP Task Force will testify, under oath, before Congress.
‘These people are respected, credentialed professionals, and this will further aid the process of transitioning this once-taboo topic from fringe to mainstream, by highlighting the defence, national security and flight safety implications of the phenomenon.’
Mr Pope, a journalist and broadcaster, previously worked for the UK Ministry of Defence – during which time he ran the government’s UFO project, investigating UAP sightings.
‘All eyes will be on David Grusch, the former intelligence officer who claims that the US has recovered craft and bodies, relating to what he terms a “non-human intelligence”,’ said Mr Pope.
‘The key question will be whether he can give Congress anything that will help US lawmakers verify his claims. Such claims aren’t new, but they usually come from anonymous or questionable sources.
‘Grusch is a genuine insider who was part of the US intelligence community’s research and investigation into UAP.
‘If true, his claims will change the world.’
