Pictured, an artist's impression of the alleged 1933 UFO crash outside Magenta, Italy shows a craft shaped like a saucer David Grusch - a former high-ranking intelligence official - is one of three military whistleblowers who testified under oath that they know firsthand about secret programs involving technology far surpassing the US' capabilities Last year Grusch alleged US military and defense contractors were stonewalling on evidence of crashed UFOs, recovered 'beings,' and UFO-related deaths. On one side are whistleblowers and former top intelligence officials, who claim knowledge of a secret program that has allegedly retrieved crashed flying saucers – and who have convinced top lawmakers to back them, including Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer, Senate intelligence committee ranking member Marco Rubio, and Senate armed services committee member Mike Rounds.
