Grusch Confirms: “I’ve Seen the Recovered UFO Vehicles”

In a Fox News interview, David Grusch made his most direct public statement yet: “I’ve seen the recovered UFO vehicles.” He described multiple non-human craft morphologies in U.S. possession – different shapes, different sizes, from different recovery events. This goes beyond his previous testimony about being told of the programs; he is now claiming firsthand visual confirmation of the hardware.

Burchett’s Classified Briefing Claim Still Not in Public Files

Avi Loeb Tapped to Lead UAP Advisory Council

Avi Loeb revealed he has been tasked by the White House, AARO, ODNI, the FBI, and the Intelligence Community to lead and assemble a UAP advisory council. The council would bring scientific expertise to the government’s UAP evaluation process – a significant escalation from Loeb’s previous role as an outside academic voice.

However, AARO’s spokesperson is refusing to comment despite Loeb being tasked through AARO itself. Chris Sharp noted there has been “no official government comms” confirming the council, raising questions about whether the bureaucracy is already slow-walking the initiative.

The UFO Joe and others raised pointed questions: Will council members have TS-SCI clearance and access to all classified UAP compartments? Will there be public updates? Or is this a watered-down replacement for the independent Review Board proposed in the UAP Disclosure Act – a board that would have had subpoena power?

UK Has Zero Official UFO Reporting System

BBC published a piece highlighting that the UK has no official system for reporting UFOs – a “blind spot in the skies” that could be hiding either a national security threat or a scientific breakthrough. The report comes as the U.S. PURSUE releases put growing international pressure on allied nations to match American transparency.

BREAKING: ODNI Confirms Establishment of UAP Governance Board

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence officially confirmed to Liberation Times and Douglas Dean Johnson the establishment of a UAP Governance Board – a new interagency body created by ODNI, the FBI, and the Department of War to coordinate UAP investigations, improve data collection and analysis, and assist with declassification of UAP files.

An ODNI official stated: “To support the President’s directive on UAP transparency, ODNI — alongside FBI and DOW — established a UAP Governance Board to coordinate UAP investigations, improve the collection and analysis of relevant data, and assist with the declassification of UAP files.”

The Board met for the first time yesterday (June 15). It operates with several supporting advisory groups, including the Science Advisory Council that Avi Loeb was tasked to assemble. Chris Sharp noted: “At first, we thought it was one UAP Science Advisory Council. But it is actually a UFO Board supported by several advisory groups.”

Sharp assessed: “While it is not the independent UAP Review Board proposed by Schumer and Rounds, it appears to address some of the same challenges the UAP Disclosure Act was designed to solve. A big development.” Key questions remain about whether board members will have TS-SCI clearance and access to all classified UAP compartments.

Good Trouble Show: “Radar Data Is Old Hat”

Matt Ford pushed back on the disclosure community’s focus on sensor data, arguing: “The entire push to make UAP disclosure about sensor logs, satellite imagery, and radar returns is fighting a war that is already over. We are long past that.” The comment reflects growing frustration among advocates who want the conversation to center on crash retrievals and NHI rather than additional sensor evidence.
