Are we NOT alone in the universe?
For the first time in human history, we may be on the cusp of official confirmation by a government (an important one, the US) that the answer is not just “Yes”, but that Non-Human Intelligence (NHI) is present on the planet and has been for a long while.
But the global public has been hearing about UFOs (renamed as Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena – UAPs), especially over the last five years or so. So what’s new?
On 5 June, a niche tech website called The Debrief, which has a solid reputation among a scientifically-minded set, released an interview with a former US military officer by the name of David Grusch.
The website says Grusch claimed that the US government was in possession of “intact and partially intact” vehicles of “exotic origin (non-human intelligence, whether extraterrestrial or unknown origin)”. He said the conclusion was “based on the vehicle morphologies and material science testing and the possession of unique atomic arrangements and radiological signatures”.
In a separate interview with Ross Coulthart, one of the leading investigative journalists on the subject, Grusch also stated, when asked whether the US government had possession of “alien” bodies: “Believe it or not, as fantastic as it sounds, it’s true”. He concluded this after numerous interviews and discussions with other US government officials directly engaged in classified programs related to the UAPs.
Here’s the thing. Grusch is a 14-year veteran of the US intelligence services, a combat officer who served in Afghanistan, worked for the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), for the National Geo-Spatial Intelligence Agency, and worked with the UAP Task Force from 2019-21.
In addition, he was among those who prepared the US President’s daily brief, and sometimes delivered it by hand. He had among the highest security clearances within the American establishment.
In other words, Grusch is a classic whistleblower. He has played by the book. He deposed to the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community (IGIC) in order to provide details that he could not disclose in public. At the same time he retained a lawyer to fight against potential retaliation from within the defence establishment.
All that Grusch has disclosed was done with the approval of the Defence Office of Prepublication & Security Review (DOPSR). This means the information he has revealed is government approved but its validity is not necessarily confirmed.
What Grusch has done would not have been possible without the truly heroic actions of a few good men, all connected to high-level intelligence and military roles, and it is necessary to name them here so readers interested can do their own research. These include:
Lue Elizondo, a former Counter Intelligence Special Agent who headed a secret UAP investigation program within the Pentagon; Christopher Mellon, former Staff Director of the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence in the Clinton and Bush administrations.
From behind the scenes both have been quietly advising on the best way to calibrate information flow and help shepherd legislative amendments that facilitated the Grusch revelations. There has been remarkably bipartisan political support in this process.
Meanwhile, others – also connected to the intelligence community – have been speaking openly, but within the limits of their Non-Disclosure Agreements, about the presence of NHI on the planet, and prepping the public for the release of confirmatory information. These include:
Jim Semivan, a 25-year veteran of the CIA who retired as a director at the agency’s Operations Directorate, is sort of like a real-life equivalent of “M” in the James Bond movies. In other words, pretty high up in the CIA hierarchy. John Ramirez, another CIA veteran with GS-15 rank (equivalent to colonel in the military), who has been openly discussing and analysing the UAP issue on various podcasts.
The things that Semivan and Ramirez claim will induce what is known as “ontological shock” in some – i.e., something that will make people question their worldview. But they are not the only ones.
On the academic side there is Dr. Garry Nolan, Professor at the Stanford University Department of Pathology. He recently stated his view that he was 100 per cent sure of the presence of NHI on the planet. Years ago, Dr. Nolan was approached by the CIA to investigate why their agents who had come in close contact with UAPs were getting seriously ill.
Those who have been long studying this subject refer to such leaks of information as part of the process of “Disclosure”. At the end of it, the people of the world will come to know, definitively, that we are not alone in the universe.
So what can we conclude?
There is the possibility that this is all part of a grand disinformation campaign orchestrated from over 80 years ago—when the first UAP crash is said to have happened in Italy—and through the decades since. It is possible that the US government (presumably) has, with scholarly support, integrated into this disinformation narrative ancient stories from across the globe.
The question is, to what end?
Certainly, it must be to either divert attention or keep from the public some secret that is even more earth-shaking the presence of NHI.
While not impossible, is it probable?
If we abandon the idea of a grand disinformation campaign, however, as this writer does after years of close study of the subject, then we must come to the following conclusions, at a minimum:
There is one or more Non-Human Intelligences acting on the planet, and there might have been from before mankind emerged on the scene.
It may be extra-terrestrial, extra-temporal, extra-dimensional or ultra-terrestrial (within the earth) – or a combination of two or more of these.
It is far more technologically advanced than humans and we do not know its intentions or perspective. Considering that no large-scale harm has been done, that we know of, it may be indifferent, merely observing or mainly benign. Some harm has been done, but it is regarded as mostly incidental with some exceptions, like the Colares incident in Brazil.
We do know that it is particularly interested in our nuclear capabilities, and has demonstrated the ability to shut down (in the US) and start up (in today’s Russia) nuclear launch systems at weapons silos. There is also a possibility that it has the capability to disable missiles in high-mach flight (the Vanderbilt Air Force Base event).
These conclusions seem beyond fantastic, and certainly beyond belief. But if one reads the extensive cataloguing done by Robert Hastings, in his book UFOs and Nukes Extraordinary Encounters at Nuclear Weapons Sites, or Leslie Kean’s UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record, it would be hard to simply dismiss these conclusions. (There are many other books, interviews and podcasts on the subject).
The implications are paradigm-shifting. It means humans are not the apex intelligence on the planet, and we may never have been. Science will have to be re-imagined, as the capabilities of the UAPs and their properties seem to demonstrate an ability to warp space and time. Religions will have to reconfigure their sales pitch.
Then there is the (perhaps not-so-simple) matter of figuring out what the intentions of the NHI are. Almost certainly, humanity is in for a disorienting period ahead at every level of our existence. It will take a while for the true impact of disclosure to sink in.
It is certainly time for more people to take a closer look at the subject and become familiar with it.
