Lawmakers say they are one step closer to the truth about humanity’s place in the universe today after a top secret briefing on UFOs in Congress.
America’s top spy watchdog met with members of the House Oversight committee on Capitol Hill today — a meeting previewed by DailyMail.com’s anonymous intelligence community insider.
The meeting aimed to get to the bottom of last year’s explosive charges alleging the existence of an illegal UFO crash retrieval program.
Those allegations, made by the formerly high-ranking US intelligence official David Grusch, accused the US military and its private contractors of covering up retrieved UFOs and alien ‘beings,’ plus retaliation campaigns to keep their secrets.
‘We’ve now made, I would say, progress on some of the claims Mr. Grusch has made in his complaint,’ Democratic Florida Congressman Jared Moskowitz told reporters.
‘Based on what we heard,’ Rep. Moskowitz said, ‘many of Grusch claims have merit!’

Grusch’s allegations were first made in detail via this classified formal complaint, a ‘Disclosure of Urgent Concern(s); Complaint of Reprisal’ filed to the office of the US Intelligence Community’s Inspector General (IC IG) in May of 2022.
‘I think this one [today’s briefing] is going to lead to a lot of things,’ Rep. Moskowitz said. ‘There’s a lot of new questions and a lot of new areas to ask and poke in.’
‘I think everybody left there thinking and knowing that Grusch is legit,’ said Republican Tennessee Congressman Tim Burchett, Rep. Moskowitz’s colleague on the House Oversight Committee, which spearheaded today’s secret UFO conclave.
Burchett added, ‘if they didn’t think that before.’
The Tennessee legislator, who has become a strong voice calling for transparency on what officials now call ‘unidentified anomalous phenomena’ or UAP, did retain some of his criticisms, telling reporters ‘by design this issue is very compartmentalized.’
‘We’ve now made, I would say, progress on some of the claims Mr. Grusch has made in his complaint,’ Democratic Florida Congressman Jared Moskowitz told reporters. ‘Based on what we heard,’ Rep. Moskowitz said, ‘many of Grusch claims have merit!’
‘It’s not about little green men in flying saucers,’ Burchett said steps from a ‘Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility’ or SCIF where the classified meeting was held.
‘The issue is tens of millions of dollars,’ he emphasized, ‘on an issue that we’ve been told does not exist since 1947.’
Rep. Moskowitz, who has joined Rep. Burchett and others in the House UAP Caucus on what has become an bipartisan effort to get to the truth on these airborne mysteries, also acknowledged continuing bottlenecks with over-classification.
‘Well, obviously, look: the process is extremely frustrating,’ Rep. Moskowitz told reporters assembled outside the SCIF.
‘But actually this is the first real briefing that we’ve had,’ the congressman said, ‘the first time we kind of got a ruling on what the IG thinks of those [Grusch’s] claims.’

‘So this meeting, unlike the one we had previously [with the Department of Defense’s office of the Inspector General], this one actually ‘moved the needle.”
Despite these promising statements of forward momentum, it is unclear whether or not members of House Oversight were actually permitted to review Grusch’s official classified IC IG complaint, or what hard facts they learned behind closed doors.
Last week, a source with direct knowledge of standard operations inside the US Intelligence Community’s Inspector General’s office (IC IG) told DailyMail.com that a review of the complaint would be unlikely.
‘I do not expect that to occur,’ the source told DailyMail.com.
According to the DailyMail.com’s well-placed US intelligence community source, IC IG would likely endeavor to satisfy lawmakers while telling them as little as possible.
‘The IG, when he goes and briefs Oversight, his job, between you and I, is going to be to make them feel as though they’re getting information,’ this source said, ‘and basically tell them nothing.’
This source believes Attorney Thomas Monheim, the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community, and his staff would be forced to juggle the expectations of multiple competing congressional committees.
‘He’s in charge of what he’s going to tell them,’ the source told DailyMail.com.
‘I would be very shocked if they hear the same things the Intel committees heard,’ the source elaborated, ‘not because he doesn’t want to tell them — because they’re Congress.’
‘But because HPSCI [the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence] and SSCI [the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence] have probably said to him, ‘Hey! We are your committees of jurisdiction, not Oversight,” so this source advised.
Nevertheless, Rep. Moskowitz presented a carefully worded comment on the progress made by the committee and the roadmap ahead in their quest for answers about the govenment’s closely held, long-rumored UFO portfolio.
‘Let me just give you a hypothetical, because I am not going to share anything from a classified briefing,’ the Florida congressman began.
‘If someone makes ten claims, and then someone says, ‘Well, we didn’t look into all ten, because they weren’t all in the report. But, hey, we found these six very credible,” Rep. Moskowitz said, ‘well, then you’d wanna go attack those six.’
This is a developing story and will be updated throughout the day.
