Britain’s top UFO expert says it doesn’t matter whether the US hides one alien body or ten – it would “fundamentally change everything”.

Nick Pope, who previously headed the Department of Defense’s ‘UFO Division’, responded to claims by whistleblower David Grusch, who claims the US government has recovered at least 10 alien bodies.

Mr. Grusch, a former U.S. intelligence officer, first made headlines in June when he said the government was hiding evidence of “intact and partially intact” alien spacecraft. His claims, rejected by officials, led in part to a congressional hearing on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP, formerly UFOs) in July.

Three witnesses, including Mr. Grusch, provided sworn statements about their experiences with UAP, including “harming” people to cover up evidence about aliens on Earth.

Mr Grusch added to his claims when speaking on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast last week, saying the number of recorded accidents in the US was in “double digits”. He added that the number of bodies recovered in rural areas was “as high as the finds.”

Commenting on the claims, Mr Pope said: “In some ways the numbers David Grusch gave don’t matter because if all we had was a crashed UFO and an alien body it would fundamentally change our understanding of the universe. .

“I cannot assess Grusch’s claims because when I investigated UAP for the Department of Defense, we never found any conclusive evidence that would prove the presence of aliens, although there were some intriguing and unexplained cases.

“We have also never heard of such clear evidence. So when the US government purchased vehicles and bodies, it didn’t tell Britain about it.

“When it comes to keeping this secret, I don’t think the numbers are that important, but the principle is. It is binary in the sense that the authorities can control it or not.”

Mr. Grush has made it clear that he has not had any direct encounters with aliens himself, but has spoken to numerous sources, including a former senator, the late Harry Reid, who confirmed that the government had evidence of UAP.

“The question now is whether or not Grusch’s allegations can be proven,” Pope said.

“Several members of Congress and committees are reportedly trying to obtain more information with the intention of verifying this, and the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) has also asked Grusch to come in and provide more details. ”

“But there are questions about how that could be accomplished, given that he no longer has an active security clearance, and even if he regains it, it is unclear who he could brief, even within Congress, given the alleged level of secrecy. ”

“Other than bringing one of the business districts and boards forward for an independent scientific investigation, it is difficult to see how the claims can be verified.” Additional corroborating testimony from other whistleblowers could help, but as with Grusch’s claims, this would be fair. a statement .”

Since Mr. Grusch first made his claims in an interview with Debrief, the UAP issue has barely made headlines, while calls for transparency surrounding unidentified aircraft in airspace shared with commercial and military aircraft grow.

AARO has launched a website that publishes declassified information about UAP, showing that the Hiroshima atomic bomb site is now a UFO hotspot.

Mexico held its own hearing in Congress in September, but it turned from serious to bizarre when journalist and ufologist Jaime Maussan revealed two small “corpses” said to be non-human beings found in Peru.

While the scientific community has widely dismissed the samples as a hoax – something Mr Maussan has previously been found guilty of – others are not so sure.

Lt. However, Ryan Graves, a former US Navy pilot who testified at the Congressional hearing in Washington and was present in the Mexican parliament, called the revelation a “baseless ploy.”
