His timing isn't weird at all, they recently passed a whistleblower protection act

I think that any alien flying past Earth would lock their door.

Lets also not forget that, as a matter of fact - there are craft operating in our airspace that the government has admitted they can neither identify, nor interdict. This by definition makes the airspace insecure. While not evidence when taken alone, it is reasonable and urgent to investigate Mr. Grusch's claims for the sake of national security alone.

Fact: Grusch signed an oath wearing to the veracity of his claims. He stands to be legally punished if he is lying.

He actually did turn over documents and testified under oath to congress . Obviously, I’m skeptical, but I think it still needs to be looked into.

Maybe he just came forward because the latest bill has whistleblower protection . 🤔

I love this channel. It’s probably the best comedy show out there. The dead pan delivery is outstanding. Well done !!

The whole point about this David Grusch story isn't that we should believe everything he says without evidence, but that there should be an investigation done so that the truth (whatever it is) can come out. That's what David wants as well.

gotta love when the living embodiment of valium calls an airforce intelligence commander 'vapid'

It's not true to say he never saw any photographs. He supplied documents (some of which contained photographs) to the congress.

He did claim to see top secret photos and other evidence which he presented to closed door session of congress but can not reveal to the public due to security clearance issue. It's illegal for him to reveal that to the public. Also he did not get clearance to discuss Roswell as well. His attorney has made it clear as well that he can't reveal anything still designated top secret classification. If you add up his testimony with others, there is congruence. And he's not riding any wave, he did his job per the task force assignment and is simply stating that they were black balled and shut out of this special access black ops program.

He’s testified under oath, if he’s lying he goes to jail! He’s turned over physical evidence to the inspector general! If I was you I’d be sitting tight until this washes out!

People find it difficult to perceive reality when it intrudes between them and what they want to believe.

I’ve bee a fan of pretty much every one of Dr Grande’s videos - but this one won’t age well in a new world managed by our lizard overlords..

It always gets me when skeptics demand proof from people calling for an investigation. If you had proof an investigation wouldn't be needed. It's putting the cart before the horse. "Prove to me the conclusions of your investigation before the investigation begins".

As an Airman that was involved in Reagan's SDI Program in the 80s. I've been skeptical of "Aliens are coming." ever since then.

The REO Speedwagon ending was a nice touch for those old enough to get it. 🤣

Here’s the thing. Guy isn’t the only one that has said the exact same thing. Most holding super high clearances. Kind of makes you pause at the very least and ask why all these people who were vetted telling all lies.

I imagine his coworkers at the NRO knowing how excited he gets about aliens and just trolling him with fantastical stories and fake documents they made.

We don't know if it's only hearsay just yet. He allegedly has classified material that he did turn over to investigators, but cannot make public at the moment. We have to wait out on this one before calling it hearsay.

When multiple people in your industry tell you the same thing and you are one of the most trusted people in that industry and especially when that industry is essential to your country's defence it is probably wise to investigate further. I also notice that you forgot to mention a major part of the overall story, namely, that the current Inspector General called these reports both urgent & credible! Also the lawyer representing Mr Grusch just happens to be the very first appointed Inspector General in US history! As to the evidence we ALL want to see: clearly that evidence will be classified! However, what Grusch is asking, after his marathon 11 hours of testament in front of congress, which by the way, was also under oath ( you forgot that part as well) is that congress should investigate. I hope when more of this truth comes out that you have the professionalism to acknowledge the "writing on the wall" . I certainly will be doing the same if i am proven wrong... Richard Agar (NZ)

I don't think Grusch lacks credibility. It's all very interesting, and there's nothing wrong with keeping an open mind. Problem is, we just don't have very much to go on. So we will have to wait and see if more comes of it.

"There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which can not fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance. That principle is contempt prior to investigation." --Herbert Spencer

This is a high level intelligence figure under oath. Several credible journalists have put their careers on the line to say they have also spoken to many sources that back this up. Don’t let an emotional commitment to skepticism drain you of all your common sense. Where there’s smoke there is fire; either there is truth to this or elements of the government really want people to THINK that there is .. they why here either way is fascinating

He has provided Congress and the Inspector General under oath with the location of the spacecraft, the name of the program managers, and the names of the liaisons between the USIC and Private aerospace company. He wants Congress to investigate his claims, and has an Inspector General investigating his complain and has found it to be urgent. Congress now plans to invite him on to testify under oath in a public setting. This is an admirable person who like he said in the interview he doesn't want to be in his 60s or 70s regretting for having kept this a secret.

They just passed a law allowing him to legally come out, that's why it 's "convienient timing." Direct witnesses are evidence, they confirmed the witnesses are real. Appently you didn't research even what is going on at all.

Yesterday Dr. Greer, had a press conference to which there was information given to congress, he has been on this track for 30 years. With many new whistle blowers

He's basically whistleblowing the plot of the X-Files. He's lost his career and he doesn't even have any good anecdotes for the trouble.

If Grusch is right, the AARO statement means nothing because they were kept in the dark anyway. AARO was seated at the kids table.

Well... no. Grusch has seen the photos. He provided these and the backup documents to the inspector, via the channel used for classified materials. Or at least that is what he claims.

Newsreaders used to mock ufo stories as well. Not so much in recent years. Keep this one on file.

I appreciate people who believe in conspiracy theories... they seem to be very creative in their thinking and coming up with the most implausible solutions to explain certain plot holes. I am fascinated by their ability to go beyond common sense and logic. I wish I had that kind of thinking! No matter how hard I try, I just can't seem to find a conspiracy theory to subscribe to. My husband and I watched a video of this UFO whistleblower once and he automatically was on board. Meanwhile, I just saw a man with lots of unsubstantiated claims and hearsay... what the heck is wrong with me?! Ugh... i just want so badly to have at least one interesting wacko conspiracy theory under my belt just like most people...

I’m not crazy and I attended grad school at the University of Michigan. I saw one when I was 17 in the middle of nowhere in Michigan. It was different than most of the ones I hear described though. Black and triangular, smooth edges that were rounded didn’t seem like it had much of a bubble where the cockpit or in the middle would be, it was hovering over a House on the side of the road or at least that’s what it look like I was with my mom and aunt we were headed to the grocery store which was over half an hour away because we lived out in the middle of nowhere. We pulled over and started yelling at each other, because we didn’t know what to do then before we could turn around to head back home it was gone it was gone that fast. It was the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen.

Grusch hasn't claimed to prove anything, he has merely introduced a topic. It's up to the Senate committee now to explore the topic. Grusch is using whistleblower cover recently provided by that Senate. Bearing in mind the committee is privy to much information so far kept from us, it's not unreasonable to wonder if we are being gently introduced to a topic many will find hard to believe, even strongly resist.

Secret evidence is always forthcoming but never arrives.

I could never imagine suffering from skeptopathy to the degree that Todd does. Poor guy .

Been a pilot for 45 years, for over 20 plying the grumpy skies at 30 000 feet or more - often at night. Seen many beautiful heavenly sights, meteorites, Northern Lights, the ISS and satellites stately floating by… Never ever did I think any of that was extraterrestrial! Am I just unlucky - or don’t have much imagination?

The REO speed wagon reference was pretty damn funny!! My stomach hurts from laughing 😂

Interesting. One aspect of this is that he testified under oath. If he is lying he faces jail time.

It’s too early to pass judgement on this one. The complaint has been filed and it’s now up to the appropriate parties to investigate to the fullest extent. Until then, there’s not too much to say other than what has been said before - these claims are not new.

If congress is taking this seriously, as in having hearings about the evidence, then so should we.

I welcome our new Alien overlords. They can't possibly do a worse job running this clown show then we are 🤣

Dr. Grande, did you watch the hearings yesterday? I see now why he can’t reveal too much detail in an open setting. He could go to jail. He’s more than willing to give names, places, and details, but he can only do that in a SCIF, as of today the Oversight committee was denied access to a SCIF room.

Thank you for that extremely sobering analysis.

waiting patiently for Dr Grande to analyze Dr Grande

Dr. Grande, here's what I got from David Grusch...he was working in AARO, but was not given the clearance to access this other program's work, e.g. recovered wreckage from "non-human" origin ships. That's it. That's what he presented to the Inspector General - inability to get access to the program to pursue his work further. His whistleblower claim was that this unavailable access was hampering his investigations but also just as his program AARO was made transparent to congress and the public, this other agency or agencies, should also be made transparent to congress and the public. 95% of all the media questions directed toward him were not on substantiating this simple fact. Instead, probably due to some personality or character trait which you could probably enlighten us with, he grandstands in a matter of fact way, somewhat bemusedly because none of the media questions really touch on the reason he is a whistleblower. Sure, he could stay silent or keep repeating - all I can tell you is what I told the Inspector General, but given the chance to be in the spotlight, good or bad, he was just throwing things out there that may well be his overblown imagination or paranoia. BUT, that is a secondary issue with him which has nothing to do with the fact of his whistleblowing. If he was working at Amazon and he found out that management was actively keeping workers at lower positions in the company, he might well "whistleblow" that with some facts that in this case would be unclassified, unlike with the Inspector General. BUT, he could still go on the news or social media and answer questions about what he "thinks" were the motivations, etc. etc. even mentioning anecdotal evidence from employees, but he is "in the spotlight". Why am I writing about this? Because having been in the military myself, I understand how things work when you are trying to ferret out something important that no one else thinks is important for whatever reason. There is absolutely no inertia, so I can sense some of his frustration, however I do believe his actions were not the actions of a delusional fantasy. He's getting ripped apart by the media and he doesn't even know it. I would respectfully suggest another video focusing on this perspective, the media perspective and how someone like Grusch can be led around as if he had a nose ring AND not even realize what's happening. Thanks for hearing me out.

David’s comments seem believable. His professional cohort defined him as a “strong moral compass.” He seems to have done his due diligence in requesting permission to release confidential information about his former employer very transparently. It would appear that they approved the request maybe based off his integral reputation or perhaps the change of acts that protect whistle blowers. And, if his highers really did “confide” sensitive info to him, then this would probably support his reputation of being trust worthy. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was his immediate superiors that approved of the disclosure prior to his separation.

You hit the nail on the head with one of your points and I’ve always said that why is it that pilots that can travel 90 billion light years in a blink of an eye and keep crashing into our planet they are so sophisticated they have not discovered brakes yet?

If Grusch's account was an isolated incident, it could easily be explained away. However, he's only the latest example of many credible witnesses who have reported on the UAP phenomena. This man swore an oath before Congress that he is telling the truth. We shouldn't be so eager to dismiss such people.

Didn’t the whistleblower actually get the evidence that was provided to him to Congress? So it’s not “vapid hearsay” when he has seen classified proof and testimony, just not worked on it first hand?…

Regarding the idea that the aliens keep crashing and how this is at odds with their apparent technological sophistication or at odds with more aliens wanting to keep visiting...we would only be able to know for sure about those which had crashed, but not necessarily how many more had "successful" missions, which may have even gone undetected, and therefore we don't know what proportion the crashed spacecraft would be of the total number of alien visits. Perhaps it is actually very low and there have been thousands of undetected visits to our planet.

"Dead Alien Pilots." Good name for a band.

'Vapid' and 'vacuous' are two words that are underappreciated and underutilized when describing the makeup of our citizenry.

I was not interested in UFO's but I always kept an open mind thinking how could we absolutely rule it out? It's interesting thinking about and hearing the stories.

Straight from a know it all , your logic is absolutely insane

His source is actually, officially, "Trust me bro." Well, I'm sold.

Aliens would never visited Earth. They would be too afraid of being roasted by Dr. Grande dry jokes.

There have been many good decent intelligent people that have come out to speak the truth on this topic, but because we all have been propagandized our whole lives on this, we are quick to ridicule not believe and pass off these people and their stories.

In my opinion. David is telling the truth. Why would anyone whistleblow, with what has happened in the past. Why would anyone risk everything.. unless, they had some seriously strong evidence, that will find the light of day when it is brought to the table. The news and people on KZfaq are downplaying the scenario and adding more information, putting words in his mouth and their own ideas.. belittling using sarcasm to discredit him. Shame on those people. You will eat your words and be dumbfounded

We all know how you feel about UFOs. Not everyone is lying. I believe this warrants more attention.

"How to serve man." It's a cook book!!

If Dr.Grande does something silly, will he make a video about himself?

Most people don't realize it would have been physically impossible to detect/identity Earth as having intelligent life prior to about 100 years ago, which which in itself makes it virtually impossible we are being visited by anyone.

Heard it from a friend who--heard if from a friend who…had me cracked up! Thanks for the chuckle?

This is awfully researched. The Inspector General said his claims were credible after talking to the witnesses.

They changed it from Unidentified “Flying” Objects to Unidentified Aerial Phenomena because light bouncing off shiny objects is not considered “flying”. It’s like calling the laser pointer a cat chases “flying”!

EXCELLENT. My thoughts exactly!

Dr Grande is afraid of the possibility of aliens. And we need a different dr grande to analyze this dr grande’s fear of potential aliens. Stay strong, dr grande

I suppose anything is possible. The universe is bigger than any of us could even imagine. That being said, I usually look for simple explanations first

“Only speculating about what could be happening” says Dr Grande, in every episode. For all the speculators, speculate as much as you wish. Just present us with some verifiable evidence, please.

Finally! A sensible analysis. As long as we have no evidence, only words of one person, I cannot fully trust him. Extraordinary claims require evidence. No matter if he is former NASA official or a farmer who saw something at night.

That's a pretty hefty title for somebody so soft spoken.

"Grusch doesn't appear to possess critical thinking skills" He's only a highly respected intelligence officer in intelligence community who is highly respected due to his analytic and critical thinking abilities.

Your reason for skepticism based on "why would aliens visit if there is a chance of crashing" and "how could they crash if they are advanced enough to get here" (I know I am paraphrasing) are pretty weak. Without knowing any of the motives for such excursions, or the conditions based on the supposed crashes, you can't really speculate. But even if it were simply for the sake of exploration, your reasoning is akin to asserting that NASA wouldn't risk shuttle missions because of Challenger.

I read that the pilots are always resembling "xeroxes". They are like clones from a factory, disposable.

You're The Man!

Oh, this guy is irrational? You don't know WHY they crashed? Every heard of the "argument from ignorance?" How are you are Ph.D?

Came for the analysis, stayed for the bone dry humour. Love it

You didn’t even bother to watch the full interview. The Inspector General of the Department of Defense found his whistleblower complaint “credible” and “urgent”.

"We have hearsay and conjecture.... Which are *kinds* of evidence"

Heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend who knows lots of guys who have seen aliens

I usually agree with your analysis Dr Todd, but I think you are wrong to doubt this guy, he has a lot of evidence, logistics hard copy documents, and photographs, he admitted to not being an eye witness to the alien crafts but knows where they are kept,or the nonbiological remains. He said in front of the cameras many times he would divulge more specifically in private the information they needed. He would not have been accredited or allowed to this level of Government inquiry without being vetted. This is a US Senate Sub Committee, they don't allow any Tom Dick or Harry in of the street saying they saw aliens. The other two witnesses are highly regarded high-ranking retired airforce veterans, if your opinion of him was correct Dr they would have disassociated themselves from him and not appeared by his side. Thats a bit harsh methinks.

Are some UFOs possibly interstellar aliens? Maybe maybe not but reality is not every case can debunk as Venus, afterburners, hallucinations and similar crap for convenience to dismiss. No matter what these things are it’s interesting to see influencers, scientists and politicians trying to understand what the new kosher on the topic will be. For everyone else it’s quite an interesting show. Also, as we turn the corner on society’s UFO attitude, might be a good time for an enormous collective apology to past treatments of those individuals believing they experienced something extraordinary.

The UFO fascination turned into UFO fanaticism. I used to really like it when I was younger, but the 2000-2012's Age Of Online Hoaxes killed my thunder for UFOs.

It was stated that he risks arrest if his statements are deliberately false and he still calls for senate hearing.

Next time I hear that song in-my playlist that lyric change is gonna to my mind 😆.

My son in law asked his father on his deathbed about 5 years ago if all of this UFO and alien talk was real. His father had been in the USAF and was stationed at Area 51….his Dad tied him “Son, believe everything you hear and then some!” I believe him.

I'm trying to get this straight multiple top secret officials violated their oath of secrecy and told him about this so if so many top officials would talk to him I wonder why one of these( dying to tell someone in order to get the truth out ) officials just tell a senator or a congressman I could only guess that this wasn't the first time these officials talked if what he is saying is true I would think that this would have leaked out through others as well extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence

This analysis needs major REVISIONS and CORRECTIONS. He most definitely testified to Congress and shared EVIDENCE via DOCUMENTATION and PHOTOGRAPHS, Under oath i might add. Other high ranking officers who have directly worked in some of these UAP/UFO programs have also come out and testified to Congress with PROOF under oath. Although the proof has not been made public do to some of its classified nature, it has been made available to Congress. I wish that skeptics would relay truthful and proper information when speaking on certain things.

It’s a pice of the larger puzzle. Don’t look at his story as the whole picture, just a piece…just a piece…

I think he did say he saw photos and documents. 4 years of vetting. Whats interesting is that he went on the record under oath and all the classified evidence he presented can be verified. He might be full of shit but I cant imagine why anyone would seek out public humiliation and/or jailtime just to ruin his reputation

Imagine finding Earth from the alien's perspective. I'm sure after an exhaustive galaxy search they would be very interested in what's happening on our little blue planet.

I understand all the credentials the guy has, but the bottom line is that he's talking about second hand info as far as I'm aware.

It's amazing the knowledge one can acquire, highly guarded and sensitive information, simply by installing high school play curtains in ones basement. 👌

Holy shit that last part had me fucking rolling. “ heard it from a friend who. heard it from a friend who. heard it from another you’ve been selling used spaceship parts.”

Grande for president 🤟🤟

Kind of interesting that this comes out while "the US prepares to evacuate American citizens from Tawain".

You r saving my life

He doesn´t claim he has credibilty, thats the journalists, who say that. Also, he has handed in the evidence to congress and the department of deffence - they are the ones, who can disclose evidence, he is not allowed to.

No evidence...No believing the claims. Pretty simple really.
