Reasoning: Grusch, a former U.S. Air Force officer and intelligence official, has made bold claims about a secret U.S. government program involving UAP crash retrievals and "non-human biologics." His testimony before Congress in July 2023 was under oath, which adds a layer of legal accountability. He leverages his high-level positions at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), as well as his role with the UAP Task Force, to bolster credibility. His claims are secondhand—he says he was briefed by credible sources—but he’s been consistent and avoids sensationalism. Corroboration from figures like Lue Elizondo (who called him a "hero") and some lawmakers’ interest lend weight, but the lack of public hard evidence caps his reliability. Past personal struggles (e.g., a 2018 psychiatric detention) raise questions, though he attributes them to PTSD, which doesn’t necessarily discredit his claims.
Strengths: Professional background, congressional testimony, consistency.
Weaknesses: No firsthand evidence, reliance on hearsay, personal history scrutiny.
2. Lue Elizondo - 70%
Reasoning: Elizondo, former head of the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), has a solid intelligence background and was key in releasing UAP videos in 2017. His claims focus on government secrecy and UAP encounters causing physical harm (e.g., "directed-energy exposure"), detailed in his book Imminent. He’s consistent and ties his narrative to verifiable events (e.g., Pentagon videos), but his lack of physical evidence and occasional vague statements (e.g., about remote viewing) lower his score slightly. Allegations of a Pentagon disinformation campaign against him suggest pushback, which could imply he’s onto something—or that he’s a target for other reasons. His reliability is strong but tempered by unproven assertions.
Strengths: Direct Pentagon experience, released videos, detailed accounts.
Weaknesses: No hard evidence, some esoteric claims, counterintelligence ties.
This is the testimony of "UFO Whistleblower" Michael Herrera at the Greer event in June 2023.
Jake Barber claims he was sent to this event by his employer to collect whistleblowers and report them to the FBI and get them arrested, but after hearing Herrera's testimony he had a change of heart and decided to go whistleblower himself.
“From 2012 to 2023, I worked in Naval Intelligence, focusing on advanced underwater detection systems as part of an unidentified submerged phenomena program.
I'd like to start by saying that the ‘drones’ we've been seeing aren't US experiments, Chinese tech or extraterrestrial.”

🚨 BREAKING: New Jersey Mayor leaks FBI's game plan🚨
Facebook thread by New Jersey Mayor Ryan Herd,
Herd had a plan to undertake an assessment of the drone situation. Including support from a private firm, free of charge. NJ governor seemingly cleared it, only for it to be blocked at federal level.
His position is that the feds are not interested in identifying the cause and are trying to cover it up,
