On 26 July 2023 the House Oversight Committee heard sworn testimony from David Grusch, David Fravor and Ryan Graves.
2023 CE · 38.89, -77.01 · status: official
The account
Titled 'Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Implications on National Security, Public Safety, and Government Transparency', the hearing paired two former Navy pilots describing what they saw (Fravor the 2004 'Tic Tac', Graves the 2014–15 East Coast objects) with Grusch's allegations of a crash-retrieval programme and recovered non-human pilots. It drew huge public attention and bipartisan calls for transparency.
The sceptical view
The pilots described real sensor and visual events, but Grusch's claims were second-hand and came with no physical evidence; the DoD and NASA denied them.
