A UFO whistleblower who made a shocking testimony before Congress last month made a sensational claim that the government is trying to release his medical records to destroy his credibility.
David Grusch, a former senior intelligence official, revealed to lawmakers details of a secret government program to recover “non-human” technology.
But after his testimony made headlines about the alleged undercover surgery, he claimed The Intercept informed him it was planning to publish an article about his past struggles with mental health and PTSD.
Local sheriffs allegedly denied being the source of the leak, leading investigative journalist Ross Coulthart to conclude the “only” possible source of information could be the Secret Service.
Appearing before Congress in July, Grush made several sensational claims, including that the government had killed people to cover up its operations and that the US had had UFOs since the 1930s.
David Grusch – a former senior intelligence official – was one of three military whistleblowers Wednesday who testified under oath that he had spoken to members of classified programs involving technology far in excess of US capabilities
He was among three military whistleblowers who testified under oath in July that they had firsthand encounters or knowledge of secret government programs involving “non-human” technology.
However, his remarks were condemned by the head of the Pentagon’s UFO Bureau, Sean Kirkpatrick, who called Grusch’s claims “insulting.”
Grusch now believes official backlash to his statement has continued to mount as the alleged article’s publication is reportedly aimed at publicizing his struggles with PTSD, grief and depression.

But Coulthart, who previously interviewed Grusch, said the information about the intelligence agent’s personal problems should never have been available.
“This is a document that, if the media had done the right thing, would end up on his police department’s file in the county sheriff’s office,” he told NewsNation.
He said Grusch believed the journalist who received the files obtained them through the sheriff’s office, but claims they confirmed the leak was not theirs.
“The only other place that had that information was Secret Service… Secret Service leaked it,” he said.
The Intercept was contacted for comment on the alleged leak.

Coulthart added that when he sat down with Grusch, he admitted his past mental health issues – which were never considered bad enough for Intelligence officials to have his security clearance revoked.
“When I asked him if anyone could come up with any shit to discredit him, he hardly thought it worth mentioning, but admitted he had suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder after returning from Afghanistan,” Coulthart said.
“The intelligence community and the Department of Defense clearly accepted that there was no problem as he was allowed to keep his security clearance.”
“David has served his country honorably and with distinction.” He is a distinguished officer.’
Grusch detailed his mental health issues in a statement accompanying the possible article, saying that after returning from Afghanistan, his problems were made worse by the loss of a close friend.
“Years later, I was personally struck again when a close friend of mine, an intelligence officer who was then serving in the Air Force Special Operations Command, took his own life shortly after our last conversation,” Grusch said.
“I pride myself on being transparent on this matter and I’m glad I got the help I needed to continue my intelligence career.”
He also reportedly insisted that his post-traumatic stress disorder had no bearing on his testimony, and Coutlhart called for an investigation into the leak.
“It’s absolutely reprehensible for anyone to try to take advantage of the suffering of veterans, people who are struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder.” “It’s despicable and should be exposed,” Coulthart said.
“It should be investigated how a sensitive file like this was so blatantly leaked within the intelligence community to discredit a good man.”
Ryan Graves testified with Grush, telling the committee that he and more than 30 aircrew members and veterans experienced UAPs, unidentified aerial phenomena, along with members of Congress who had confided in him
David Fravor reminded the world of his infamous 2004 encounter with the UFO “Tic Tac”. or what we wanted to develop over the next ten years was far superior,” he said
In July, Grush was among three people who gave confidential details before Congress about the US government’s efforts to allegedly cover up UFO activity.
At one point during the first hearing of its kind, he even seemed to imply that the government had killed people to keep its programs secret.
Representative Tim Burchett (R-Tenn) asked Grusch, “Did you personally hear anyone?” [has] was murdered?’ to which Grausch said: “I must be careful in answering this question.” I have referred people with this knowledge to the appropriate authorities.’
Grusch also claimed that he was informed by several credible intelligence officials that the US government had recovered non-human planes carrying biological pilots.
“Several of his colleagues” were also injured by UFOs during efforts to recover the alleged alien ship.
He was sworn in alongside Ryan Graves, a respected former pilot, and veteran Navy fighter pilot Commander David Fravor, who witnessed the infamous “Tic Tac” UFO in 2004.
In the story, Graves and several other military officers said they encountered a large, smooth object during a routine exercise. Speaking about the infamous incident last month, he said the ship was “far superior to anything we had then, have now or anything we hoped to develop further over the next decade.”
Fravor described the tic-tac object as “perfectly white, smooth, and had no windows”, with “two small objects emerging from the ground”.
“It was amazing to see. “I told my buddy I wanted to fly it,” Fravor said during the first hearing of its kind.
“I’m not a UFO fanatic — I’m not.” But I’ll tell you, what we’ve seen with four pairs of eyes over five minutes is still nothing like it,” he said. “It’s just incredible technology.”
When asked if he knew of similar technology on Earth, Fravor replied, “Nothing that can come down from space, stay there for three hours, and then come back up.”
