UFO whistleblower David Grusch: 'We are not alone' | Official Ross Coulthart NewsNation interview
Editor's note: In March 2025, Rep. Eric Burlison, R-Mo., hired David Grusch to work on his staff and advise on UFO investigations (https://x.com/BlakeBurman/status/1904...)
NewsNation’s reporting on the unidentified anomalous phenomenon issue was followed by Congressional hearings, newly proposed legislation, changes within the Pentagon and reduced stigma for U.S. military personnel reporting unidentified object sightings encountered during missions and training.
In June 2023, NewsNation aired an exclusive TV interview with retired Maj. David Grusch, a U.S. Air Force veteran who had top secret security clearance while working at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, where he co-led the agency’s UAP portfolio.
In the interview, Grusch discusses his investigation and his formal whistleblower complaint. He alleges, under oath, that his UAP Task Force was refused access to a broad crash retrieval program to secure technical craft of nonhuman origin.

JFK files: Lee Harvey Oswald not only shooter, Pentagon Papers lawyer says
Ross Coulthart and constitutional lawyer Daniel Sheehan discuss the release of the John F. Kennedy assassination files. Sheehan alleges former CIA director Allen Dulles greenlit the assassination over Kennedy’s covert attempts to disassemble the country’s nuclear arsenal.
Sheehan also alleges that Lee Harvey Oswald was not the only shooter, that mafia hitmen were there to fire additional shots, and that, before the assassination, Kennedy asked to explore the topic of UAPs.
