Bipartisan press conference on the Capitol steps featuring whistleblower David Grusch alongside Reps. Luna, Burchett, Burlison, and Moskowitz, with journalists Leslie Kean and filmmaker James Fox. Grusch stated the U.S. government is aware of multiple forms of non-human intelligence ranging from corporeal bipedal beings to sentient plasmoid entities. He described exposure to a legacy reverse-engineering programme with audiovisual materials of recovered vehicles and biological material, and said several dozen U.S. bases are aware of non-human technology. Lawmakers demanded declassification of UAP records, whistleblower immunity and NDA waivers, and passage of the UAP Disclosure Act. Rep. Burlison described receiving a 'dead drop' of sensitive UAP information including MQ-9 footage. The conference also referenced former Brazilian Defence Minister Aldo Rebelo's confirmation that the 1996 Varginha and 1977 Colares incidents involved non-human beings, and highlighted a declassified 1971 Australian intelligence assessment by Harry Turner corroborating U.S. secrecy on UAPs.
