Former Air Force intelligence officer and UAP whistleblower David Grusch recently accused U.S. intelligence agencies of hiding billions of dollars in annual "slush funds" from congressional oversight. Speaking at a Capitol Hill event on June 9, 2026, Grusch alleged that these funds support secret activities and claimed the government is aware of several alien species, ranging from bipedal life to sentient plasma. Grusch specifically accused the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) of obstructing lawful requests for records. In response, a bipartisan group of lawmakers, including Rep. Eric Burlison and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, are seeking immunity for whistleblowers and urging President Donald Trump to waive nondisclosure agreements. While the Pentagon denies the existence of extraterrestrial technology or secret retrieval programs, lawmakers continue to demand the release of classified videos and documents to ensure government accountability.
