Summary
Fox News covers the June 9, 2026 Capitol Hill press conference (the actual event previously announced in src-grusch-disclosure-press-conference-2026-05), hosted by the House Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets. UAP whistleblower david-grusch alleged he uncovered “slush funds to the tune of billions of dollars per annum” supporting UAP-related activities outside normal congressional oversight, framing it as a fraud, waste, and abuse issue. Asked about non-human-intelligence, Grusch claimed the government is aware of “several” alien species spanning “a continuum from corporeal bipedal type life to… sentient plasma life,” offering no evidence. He specifically accused the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) of obstructing oversight by withholding lawfully requested records. A bipartisan group — Reps. eric-burlison (R-MO), jared-moskowitz (D-FL), and anna-paulina-luna (R-FL) — joined him; Moskowitz tied the matter to the Pentagon’s seven consecutive failed audits and “trillions of dollars missing,” while Burlison disclosed MQ-9 Reaper footage of a Yemen UAP delivered via a “Tom Clancy-style dead drop” and pledged “we’re going to get them released.” The event followed recent PURSUE document releases.
Key Claims

- The government is aware of “several” alien species, “a continuum from corporeal bipedal type life to… sentient plasma life”; no evidence provided (Grusch).
- The DIA is obstructing congressional oversight by not fully providing lawfully requested records; Grusch urged release for declassification (Grusch).
- Agencies pushed back harder as lawmakers asked more questions and opposed amendment language (Moskowitz).
- “There’s trillions of dollars missing at the Pentagon”; the department has failed seven consecutive annual audits (Moskowitz).
- There must be “real penalties for officials who knowingly withhold information from Congress” (Burlison).
- Burlison’s office obtained MQ-9 footage of a UAP incident off Yemen via a “Tom Clancy-style dead drop” (Burlison).
- Burlison called on President donald-trump to waive NDAs and grant immunity to past and future witnesses (Burlison).
