Biography
An investigative journalist who broke the news of Grusch's testimony in June 2023 and maintains a cross-verification methodology. After the disappearance of General McCasland, in May 2026, he spoke of a 'grave national security crisis'. His figure professionalizes disclosure journalism: he is neither an amateur nor a contactee.

alien.gov — disclosure rhetoric weaponized for immigration
The government domain alien.gov, used in 2025 by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as a landing page for immigration and deportation messaging, plays on the double meaning of the English word 'alien': a non-citizen in immigration law, an extraterrestrial in popular culture. In May 2026, coinciding with the PURSUE releases, DHS rolled out material with UFO-style imagery, and journalists such as Marisa Kabas, Wired and Ross Coulthart noted the timing. It says nothing about UAP: it documents how the state borrows the aesthetics of disclosure for other ends. What is stable is the use of the domain and the double meaning; dates, specific pieces and stated intent are developing press coverage.
