David Grusch

Former USAF Major + NRO + NGA + officially designated 'credible and urgent' by the ICIG

US House Subcommittee · Public domain

Biography

In July 2023 he testified under oath before the House Oversight Committee that secret programs exist to recover craft of non-human origin, along with non-human biological remains. His testimony rests on indirect sources —more than forty informants— and was deemed 'credible and urgent' by the intelligence community's inspector general. The 2026 PURSUE disclosure arose in part as a response to that statement.

USPER · orbs over a Western US test site (FBI-302)· 2025

The 'USPER Statement' is an FBI-302 interview with a currently serving senior U.S. intelligence-community official —identity protected under source rules— about a first-hand orb encounter at a sensitive Western US test installation in 2025. After searching by helicopter the area where orbs had previously been seen, the team found a 'super-hot' orb hovering over the ground that traveled 20 miles at a speed impossible for the pursuing helicopter; a 'swarm' of lights then appeared, and four or five orbs flared up and down over half an hour. The official saw it with the naked eye alongside two pilots on night vision; other pilots and ground observers with NVG also witnessed it, and ground personnel took photos through night-vision devices. Declassified in the first PURSUE release (FBI-302) and expanded in the second (ODNI-UAP-D001 narrative).
