David Grusch: Claims that several of his colleagues were physically injured, both by UAPs and by people, and that what he and his wife witnessed in person was “very disturbing.”

David Grusch · Jul 26, 2023 · House hearing, Oversight Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs (Hearing)

Under oath Direct knowledge Retaliation, threats, violence

Original words

What I personally witnessed, myself and my wife, was very disturbing.

Against or denials

In the FY2025 report (July 2026) AARO writes that it has not received, to date, any UAP report in which the reporter states having suffered adverse health effects; the Pentagon (July 28, 2023, S-024) said it has no information on people injured or killed for providing information to AARO. The two findings concern only the reports and the information that reached the Department of Defense.
