Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "David Grusch UFO whistleblower claims" in English language version.
David Grusch made a truly extraordinary claim. But it requires extraordinary evidence.
BBC: the most eye-catching claim that you made during your evidence and the one that made the most headlines was the claim that the US government has, quote intact and partially intact alien vehicles in its possession. In other words, it has them, but it isn't telling people about them. ...But how do you know they have these items? Because you've not seen them yourself, have you? David Grusch: There are certain things that I have first hand access to that I can't publicly discuss at this time. However, myself and other colleagues interviewed, you know, 40 individuals. Both are current and former highly distinguished intelligence and military personnel that were specifically on these programs and those that were willing, I directed to the intelligence community Inspector General, so the Inspector General was able to interview these people that do have direct, first-hand information, right. BBC: So they have that information directly. Have they actually seen these vehicles? David Grusch: The individuals I interviewed that I directed to the Inspector General, yes, they have the first-hand experiences, yes, right. ...BBC: I want to put some of the doubting voices to you in a moment, but I want to bring Chuck in first. I mean Chuck, as a lawyer working alongside David, what are the legal implications of what he is saying and what the government is denying? Charles McCullough: Our government relies on congressional oversight, the checks and balances of congressional oversight. David's allegation, at its base, is essentially that Congress does not have access to the information it needs to properly oversee things going on in the executive branch. That was his main concern. So he briefed both of the intelligence committees, and he had a two hour hearing, two hours of testimony last week.
