David Grusch’s written statement describes his intelligence career and UAP-related assignments, explains that his public account relies substantially on information supplied by other officials, and records his allegations of a long-running crash-retrieval and reverse-engineering program, denial of access, retaliation, and inadequate congressional oversight.

AARO FOIA release 24-F-0266 contains a January 2024 memorandum, messages, emails, and authorization memoranda documenting efforts to arrange an interview with David Grusch. The record also preserves Grusch’s stated security and authorization concerns, making the release evidence of a disputed interview process rather than proof of either side’s substantive UAP claims.
