DC’s UFO Lobbyist on Alien Spacecraft Claims: “This Thing Is Getting Ready to Blow Sky-High”
Washingtonian Magazine ^ | LUKE MULLINS

Posted on 07/12/2023 1:45:46 PM PDT by RoosterRedux

It’s been a busy few weeks for Stephen Bassett, Washington’s veteran UFO lobbyist.

Early last month, an ex-U.S. intelligence official who once worked with the Department of Defense’s Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force went public with claims that the federal government has recovered non-human spacecraft. The former official, David Grusch, does not claim to have seen the crashed spacecraft himself. Rather, in an interview with The Debrief, he said he had heard accounts of their existence over the course of his work. And in an interview with NewsNation, Grusch went even further. “Well, naturally, when you recover something that’s either landed or crashed,” he said, “sometimes you encounter dead pilots and, believe it or not, as fantastical as that sounds, it’s true.”

Washingtonian recently caught up with Bassett for his thoughts on Grusch’s allegations and how they might impact UFO-related issues in Washington.

What do you make of Grusch’s claims?

Absolutely legit. One hundred percent legit. He was at the task force. His whole background is legit. So the idea that he would make up false reports from non-existent people and take that to the DOD? It’s a one-in-a-million shot. So it’s legit, period.

What’s the significance of the claims he’s made?

In other words, [Grusch is saying,] “Yeah we have alien tech. Yes, we have crashed vehicles. And yes, we have bodies.” It’s not a surprise to me. The people in my world have been stating this, and putting the evidence forward that we’ve had these vehicles, for years. Now [Grusch] just confirmed it. Well, this was a bomb going off and that really sets a lot in motion and creates a lot of problems for the Senate [Intelligence] Committee and for the White House, because they are not ready to deal with alien craft and bodies.

Where do you think the issue goes from here?

[Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman] Mark Warner is in a really tough position now. Grusch has put the Christmas tree up and [Congress has] no choice but to start hanging ornaments on it. They have got to get those witnesses in front of that committee as soon as possible, or this thing is going to become completely out of hand. So the next thing that is going to happen is that Warner, or possibly Warner and [Senator Marco] Rubio together, will make a formal announcement and a press release that hearings on this will start on such and such a date.

DC’s UFO Lobbyist Doesn’t Buy the White House’s Extraterrestrial Denial

In light of Grusch’s claims, how far away are we from what you call “disclosure”—or the confirmation by the U.S. President of the existence of the extraterrestrials? Once they get the witnesses to testify, which would almost certainly include Grusch and anybody else prepared to testify directly to ET technology in our hands, which means Roswell was real, which Grusch has alluded to—two weeks.

Two weeks?

From the day the hearings start. Because here is the situation: The hearings are going to be probably the most watched hearings in history. So hundreds of millions of people are watching this testimony unfold. They are watching these questions being asked. The media is going nuts. Articles every day. Groundbreaking. After two weeks of that, what are you [as the U.S. president] going to do? You’ve got to go and make an announcement and say, “Look, I’ve talked to the Secretary of Defense. I’ve talked to the key Congressional leaders, and I’ve watched this testimony, and it’s pretty convincing. I think that we now can be assured that in fact, this is nonhuman in origin.” Or [Biden] may say “extraterrestrial presence.” But it is nonhuman, and it’s not our tech. That’s disclosure. Capital D. Bingo. That’s it.

Full disclosure is always "just around the corner". Folks chasing it are being played. IMHO&YMMV.

“They send up people who are not prepared and who add nothing to the conversation.”

Well, you know if I was in charge and Congress demanded I send someone up to the hill for “UFO hearings” I don’t think I would bother to send my best.

Hunter and Joe are hoping we’ll be so distracted with UFO threads that we’ll forget about that bag of cocaine in the White House.

LOL, I don’t expect them to do anything, any more than I expect fairies and unicorns to do things.

There's a contingent of generals in the Pentagon who say these aliens are demons and we should avoid this stuff like the plague.

Seriously.

Good for you... Stay in that closed minded box of ignorance. It prevents accidental intelligent thought.

Honestly, if they are “intelligent” aliens, I imagine humanity might be worth a cursory look. But not much more.

That’s why I lean towards the “found” craft from our past, or from some other earth bound civilization.

It’s an interesting mental exercise. I’ve always enjoyed staring at the stars. It would be fun to have a way to go see them that would not blow up like some homemade submarine.

Explain this to me, how can a interstellar craft cruise the stars and crash here on earth?
Why wouldn’t its power pack blast a huge radioactive creator?

I think some of this stuff is demons from other dimensions. Aliens from other planets? Not so much. After watching us you would think they would run screaming. 😆

This is worth watching... But you most likely will not because you already know everything, closed your mind, and built an arrogant firewall.
