Editing David Grusch Congressional Testimony (section)

=== Government Response ===
The Pentagon and AARO denied Grusch's specific claims, stating that they had "no verifiable evidence" of extraterrestrial craft in government possession. AARO's subsequent 2024 historical report found no evidence to substantiate the claims of a secret retrieval program. Critics of the official response, however, note the inherent contradiction of asking an agency (AARO) to investigate a program that allegedly existed outside of normal oversight channels.
