Space Symposium Welcomes First-Ever UFO Discussion - David Grusch, Eric Burlison, Rod Roddenberry & Mike Gold Speak Out

What was said

"The US government understands it represents a form of sentient non-human intelligence. I know that sounds very Star Trek, à la, you know, Gene Roddenberry and Rod's dad's sci-fi series, but it is true. And I want, you know, the American public to be comforted that the universe is teeming with life."

Speaking at the National Space Symposium, former intelligence officer David Grusch stated definitively that the US government understands UAP to represent sentient non-human intelligence and that the universe is teeming with life. Grusch, who previously testified before Congress about classified UAP programs, made these remarks to an audience of defense contractors, CEOs, and military brass at what's called the Super Bowl of space technology. This marks one of his most direct public statements about the government's knowledge of non-human intelligence.
