U.S. Congress Reacts to UFO Whistleblower David Grusch's Claims

The ongoing story around UFO whistleblower David Grusch's recent claims has reached Capitol Hill. Grusch, a former Air Force officer who later worked as a representative with the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force, made big claims that government agencies are in possession of UFO spacecraft and possibly even the remains of non-human pilots. Furthermore, he claims that the intelligence agencies responsible for investigating these crafts are withholding their findings from Congress. (A more detailed breakdown of Grusch's interviews can be found here.)

Grusch's claims, which are obviously unable to be verified, have stirred up loads of discussion around UFOs and government transparency. Wired went to Congress members with Grusch's whistleblower claims, and plenty of notable fixtures on Capitol Hill weighed in. While some wrote the situation off or refused comment, some that went on the record were alarmed by Grusch's account. Continue on to see what U.S. Congress members have weighed in on the matter.
