Trump's order sparks historic push to declassify UFO evidence.
UFO and alien evidence is poised to dominate the agenda on Capitol Hill within days, marking a potential turning point for the disclosure movement. Following President Donald Trump's executive order to declassify Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena materials and a global surge in public curiosity, a coalition of legislators, whistleblowers, and researchers is organizing what they call a historic push for transparency.
On June 9, David Grusch will convene with several members of Congress at the US Capitol to demand the public release of UFO-related evidence currently withheld in classified channels. Grusch, a former intelligence officer who testified under oath in 2023 regarding firsthand knowledge of secret government programs involving non-human technology, plans to explain why these documents must now be opened for public review. "President Trump now has an historic opportunity; this press conference is about moving from testimony to action," Grusch stated. "Let the American people judge the facts for themselves."
James Fox, an investigative filmmaker and moderator for the event, emphasized the stakes involved. "The public deserves real answers, Congress deserves access, and reality should not be classified," Fox said. "If our requests are fulfilled, this could change the course of history." The gathering, scheduled for 1 pm ET, will include remarks from Representatives Eric Burlison, Jared Moskowitz, Anna Paulina Luna, and Tim Burchett, with further participants to be announced. Representative Burlison noted in a press release that President Trump is the first chief executive to take concrete steps toward transparency on UAP, adding that it is now Congress's duty to ensure career intelligence officials do not obstruct this directive or allow for selective disclosure.
The second batch of UFO files released by the Pentagon recently included video footage of a mysterious object in the sky, signaling a broader trend. Officials indicated that additional releases from agencies, including the CIA, are anticipated in the coming weeks as pressure mounts for greater openness. For decades, many UFO-related records remained sealed due to Cold War secrecy, national security concerns, and fears of exposing sensitive military technology detected by radar and surveillance systems. Critics have long maintained that successive administrations avoided acknowledging unexplained cases to prevent public backlash, institutional embarrassment, and the proliferation of conspiracy theories. On Wednesday, President Trump held a Cabinet meeting where he declared, "We're releasing a lot of information having to do with extraterrestrial...
Witnesses and the public are captivated by the unfolding drama surrounding recent congressional hearings on unidentified aerial phenomena. One attendee exclaimed, 'It's literally trending number one, can you believe it?'

The central figure, David Grusch, previously testified under oath before Congress in 2023. He claimed to possess firsthand knowledge of secret government programs involving technology of non-human origin.
Grusch appeared alongside two other military whistleblowers during this historic session. These included Ryan Graves, an esteemed former pilot, and Navy veteran fighter pilot Commander David Fravor, who witnessed the famous 2004 'Tic Tac' UFO.
House lawmakers convened the hearing to pressure the executive branch into releasing more information about UAPs or UFOs. This marked a significant milestone as the first time these three men, or any individual, had sworn under oath regarding UFO encounters.
Ryan Graves, a former F-18 pilot with over a decade of service in the US Navy, delivered the opening statements. He stated that his testimony relied on information from individuals with a long-standing track record of legitimacy and service to the country.
Graves explained that many sources shared compelling evidence in the form of photography, official documentation, and classified oral testimony. He told lawmakers he was driven to share these details by a deep commitment to truth and transparency.

He reported that he and more than 30 aircrew members and veterans have experienced UAPs. Additionally, members of Congress who have confided in him have witnessed similar phenomena.
Graves recounted a specific incident where his squadron, the Red Rippers, was split by a UAP during a training mission near Virginia Beach in 2014. He described the object as dark gray or black inside a transparent sphere, measuring about 15 feet in diameter.
The object came within 50 feet of the lead aircraft before the mission commander ended the flight. The squadron subsequently submitted a safety report regarding the encounter.
Graves noted that this story is more common than expected, with more than 30 witnesses sharing similar sightings with his group. He added that many of these witnesses are veterans with decades of flying experience.

He emphasized that UAPs are currently in our airspace but are grossly underreported to the public and officials. Next, David Grusch provided details about how the US government possesses intact and partially intact extraterrestrial vehicles.
Grusch has previously stated that the US has run a top-secret UFO retrieval program for decades. He also claimed the Vatican was involved in the first-ever UFO crash.
According to Grusch, the first recovery of a UFO occurred in Magenta, Italy, in 1933. Mussolini's Italian government held the craft until 1944 through 1945. He claimed Pope Pius XII then tipped America off about its existence.
Commander David Fravor discussed the Tic Tac-shaped object seen in the sky over California on November 10, 2004. A video of what the Navy could trace of the object was leaked in 2017, and the Pentagon officially declassified the case in 2020.
During Wednesday's hearing, Grusch explained that his extensive executive-level intelligence support duties cleared him for all relevant compartments. He stated he was in a position of extreme trust within both his military and civilian capacities.

He revealed he was informed about a multi-decade UAP crash retrieval and reverse engineering program to which he was denied access. He requested additional read-on but was refused.
Grusch also addressed the brutal retaliation he faced after coming forward with his firsthand accounts of UFOs. He warned that there is active planned reprisal activity against himself and other colleagues.
He noted that certain colleagues were brutally administratively attacked for their disclosures. The atmosphere remains tense as these revelations continue to reshape the national conversation on aerospace security.
It is deeply distressing for a leader to witness such events befall colleagues and superiors, a sentiment expressed by Grusch regarding incidents occurring over the past three years. Fravor has brought renewed attention to his well-known 2004 encounter with the 'Tic Tac' unidentified flying object. He stated, 'I'd like to say that the tic tac object we engaged in 2004 was far superior to anything that we had at the time, have today or looking to develop in the next 10 years.'
Fravor emphasized the necessity of oversight for any programs possessing such advanced technology, asserting that these entities must be accountable to the citizens elected to represent the best interests of the United States. He described the Tic Tac object as 'perfectly white, smooth and had no windows,' noting that it featured 'two little objects that came out of the bottom.
