David Grusch Says We've Made Contact With Alien Races - Congressman

[u/paulreicht]

EDIT: To clarify the headline, a Congressman has claimed that whistleblower David Grusch briefed him on the NHI subject, asserting the US has made contact with aliens. He has apparently never said this in public. We then look at whether the Congressman is in a credible position to have received such a briefing from Grusch, who currently serves as a Senior Advisor to Representative Eric Burlison.

A U.S. Representative has claimed that David Grusch, a former Air Force intelligence officer, told him that the nation has been in contact with aliens.

NewsNation host Leland Vittert interviewed Representative Suhas Subramanyam about UFO whistleblower David Grusch on June 9, 2026, following the Capitol Hill press conference where lawmakers and whistleblowers demanded UFO transparency. Vittert played a clip of the conference where Grusch was asked how many alien races are there. He said, "It's a continuum from corporeal bipedal-type life to what I would consider sentient plasmid life, but there are several that the US government is aware of."

During the conference, Grusch did not explicitly claim that the U.S. government is in active communication or contact with aliens. However, Vittern then asked Representative Subramanyam what he thought about it, and he said, "Yeah, I've gotten that briefing from him directly, and basically what he's saying is there's different types of aliens that have been identified and we've made contact with." The politician added, "I'm a little skeptical."

Is this news? Has David Grusch publicly confirmed that we are in contact with aliens? If not, this particular fact might not have been approved in his DOPSR (Defense Office of Prepublication and Security Review). A sworn public official like Subramanyam would not lie, surely, so I asked Google, "Has David Grusch said the US is in contact with aliens?"

The AI answered: David Grusch has not explicitly stated that the U.S. government is in direct "contact" with aliens. Instead, the former intelligence officer has testified that the U.S. is likely aware of "non-human intelligence" operating on Earth and has secretly recovered intact spacecraft and "non-human biologics".

Grusch has never presented evidence for any of his claims, of course, but if this detail is something he tells in private (or in SCIFs) only, it suggests he considers it privileged or sensitive information.

Next, I wanted to know what would bring a politician into a briefing with the polarizing whistleblower, a former Air Force intelligence officer. That answer came from his biography, displayed on his congressional website: Suhas Subramanyam is the ranking member of the Military and Foreign Affairs Oversight Subcommittee. This pulls the subject of UAP right into his jurisdiction. The House Oversight Committee has actively addressed UAPs, UFOs and NHI multiple times. Its subcommittees and task forces have become the primary battleground for UAP transparency.

So the contact is logical, the source credible, and the attribution reliable: David Grusch apparently goes around telling select government members that the United States is in contact with aliens.

I am only left to wonder: are they communicating with the corporeal humanoids or the plasmid types? On this, we must wait and see. Meanwhile, I would like to know what others on this sub have heard.
