Grusch Returns to the Capitol Steps: 'At Least Four Types of Non-Human Intelligence'

Three years ago to the day, David Grusch sat before Congress and told them the U.S. government had recovered non-human craft and biological material. Lawmakers gasped. Cable news ran it for a week. Then Washington did what Washington does – it moved on.

On June 9, 2026, Grusch came back. This time he wasn’t sitting behind a microphone in a hearing room. He was standing on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, flanked by four members of Congress and a crowd of reporters from outlets that three years ago would never have touched this story. And what he said was sharper, stranger, and harder to ignore than anything he’d said before.

”At Least Four Types”

Grusch told reporters the U.S. government has knowledge of “at least four different types of non-human intelligence.”

Some, he said, are “corporeal bipedal type life” – physical beings with bodies. Others exist on what he described as a “continuum” that includes “sentient” entities that are non-corporeal. He characterized the phenomenon as something far more complex than the popular imagination’s little green men – a spectrum of intelligence that ranges from the biological to something we don’t have good words for yet.

In his official duties, Grusch said he was exposed to human and signals intelligence information concerning foreign adversary UAP crash retrieval and exploitation study efforts – confirmation that this isn’t just an American secret. Other countries are running parallel programs, and U.S. intelligence has been watching.

He told TMZ that Pentagon insiders are “too afraid to talk” – even now, even with congressional interest at its peak. The fear, he implied, runs deeper than career consequences.

Congress Steps Up – Literally

The press conference wasn’t just Grusch. Four members of Congress stood with him, each making increasingly direct demands.

Luna: Permanent Immunity for Whistleblowers

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) announced that the UAP Task Force will request permanent immunity from the White House for whistleblowers who provide “locations of craft and/or advanced technologies.” This goes further than her previous calls for an Executive Order – she’s now tying immunity to specific, actionable intelligence. Hand over the coordinates, get legal protection. No ambiguity.

Burlison: “This Information Belongs to the American People”

Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO) made his most forceful public statement yet. He said Congress is currently receiving credible claims of recovered UFOs and reverse-engineering programs at specific facilities. Not rumors. Not secondhand accounts. Credible claims with enough detail to name locations.

“This information is not yours to keep,” Burlison told the cameras, addressing the defense and intelligence establishment directly. “It belongs to the American people.”

He then turned to the President: Burlison publicly asked Trump to grant immunity to UFO whistleblowers, making the same demand Luna had framed as a Task Force request. Two members of Congress, same ask, different angles – a coordinated push.

Burlison also issued what sounded like a declaration: “The American people are closer to the truth than ever before. Disclosure is inevitable.” Coming from the congressman who has toured classified UAP facilities with Pentagon permission and has Grusch as his special advisor, that’s not wishful thinking – it’s a status report.

Burchett: “The Moving Van Has Already Been There”

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) was characteristically blunt. The programs associated with UAPs, he said, have been moved out of Area 51 and into private contractor facilities: “All of the dadgum aliens have been moved from Area 51 – all we can get there is a T-shirt. The moving van has already been there and these UFOs have been moved into private hands.”

This tracks with the emerging congressional theory – and Burlison’s focus on FFRDCs and contractor facilities – that the real crash retrieval and reverse-engineering programs aren’t hiding in government installations anymore. They’re in private hands, where congressional oversight is weakest and FOIA doesn’t reach.

Burchett was also furious about the cost: “We’re up against corruption. We’re spending billions” on UAP-related programs that the government then turns around and denies exist.

The Executive Order Question

Chris Sharp (Liberation Times) reported from the press conference that Executive Orders regarding amnesty and immunity for UAP whistleblowers “are on the agenda” at the White House. With Luna, Burlison, and Burchett all making the same demand publicly, and with the Disclosure Foundation already pushing the legal framework, the ball is now squarely in the President’s court.

The question is whether Trump signs something narrow – protecting a few named individuals – or broad enough to crack open the contractor programs that Burchett says are where the real secrets live.

The Missing Scientists Come Up

A reporter at the press conference asked twice about the pattern of missing and dead defense aerospace scientists – including Gen. Neil McCasland, who served on the board of To The Stars Academy and vanished under circumstances that have never been adequately explained.

Congress members largely dodged the question. Burchett offered only: “Of course something is going on.”

Mike Coletta, who says he worked directly with McCasland, called it his “favorite part” of the press conference – that someone finally raised it with the people who have the power to investigate. The question is whether any of them will.

Mainstream Breakout

This wasn’t a story that stayed on UFO Twitter. TMZ ran Grusch’s Pentagon insiders claim. The Daily Mail covered the “shocking secrets” he says haven’t been released. NewsNation broadcast the event live, with James Fox discussing the 1996 Varginha, Brazil incident – the kind of international case that typically gets zero mainstream airtime. The New York Post published a review of Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day film the same day, calling it “exciting” – cultural context that didn’t exist three years ago.

The media landscape around UAPs has shifted. This isn’t fringe anymore. It’s a press conference on the Capitol steps covered by outlets with combined audiences in the hundreds of millions.

What Comes Next

The demands are now explicit and public:

Permanent whistleblower immunity tied to providing locations of craft and technologies
An Executive Order from the White House granting amnesty
Congressional access to the contractor facilities where programs have been moved
Presidential action – Trump being asked directly, publicly, by his own party’s members

Ross Coulthart noted that both Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet and Col. Karl Nell have “both now spoken candidly of their knowledge of an advanced non-human intelligence engaging with us humans” – two senior military figures speaking from firsthand knowledge. The circle of people willing to say this publicly is growing.

Three years after Grusch’s first testimony, the question is no longer whether the government has recovered non-human technology. The question is how much longer it can keep pretending it hasn’t.
