The account
The report presented Grusch's claims that the US government and aerospace contractors held non-human craft and dead pilots in secret programmes. It led directly to his sworn testimony in July 2023 and to the Schumer–Rounds legislation.
The sceptical view
NASA and the DoD denied that such programmes exist, and no evidence for them has been made public.
