Mr. BURCHETT. OK. Mr. Fravor, I noticed that in the Tic Tac
video—it is Tic Tac like the candy, not TikTok like the Chinese
Communist app.
Commander FRAVOR. That is correct.
Mr. BURCHETT. Yes, sir. I just want to make that—because my
daughter corrected me on that and called me a Boomer and said,
hey, Boomer, and I said, no, baby, it is Tic Tac like the candy. You
are going to have to just look it up.
And but I would also like to say today is a day of many firsts.
It is a miracle that we are having this meeting and it is also a mir-
acle that my wife has put up with me for 9 years today. Today is
my anniversary. So, I want to tell my wife happy anniversary and
that I love her very much.
As she likes to say, this 9 years have been the best 2 years of
her life.
[Laughter.]
Mr. BURCHETT. So, thank you.
Mr. Fravor, what astonished you the most about the flight capa-
bilities of these Tic Tac, very briefly?
Commander FRAVOR. The performance. Absolute performance. It
was——
Mr. BURCHETT. And you are not aware of any other objects that
anybody in the world has in this world that has those capabilities?
Commander FRAVOR. No. I think it is far beyond, actually, our
material science that we currently possess.
Mr. BURCHETT. Are you aware of any other reconnaissance plat-
forms have tracked or recorded the Tic Tac’s maneuvers, maybe the
NORAD system or any of the others?
Commander FRAVOR. I am not.
Mr. BURCHETT. OK.
Mr. Grusch, thank you for being here, brother, and thank you all
very much.
Have you faced any retaliation or reprisals for any of your testi-
mony or anything on these lines?
Mr. GRUSCH. Yes. I have to be careful what I say in detail be-
cause there is an open whistleblower reprisal investigation on my
behalf, and I do not want to compromise that investigation by pro-
viding anything that may help provide somebody information.
But it was very brutal and very unfortunate. Some of the tactics
they used to hurt me both professionally and personally, to be quite
frank. Yes.
Mr. BURCHETT. It is very unfortunate. As they say, when you are
over the target that is when they do the most firing at you. Do you
have any personal knowledge of people who have been harmed or
injured in efforts to cover up or conceal these extraterrestrial tech-
nology?
Mr. GRUSCH. Yes, personally.
Mr. BURCHETT. Have you heard—have anyone been murdered
that you would—that you know of or have heard of, I guess?
Mr. GRUSCH. I have to be careful asking that question. I directed
people with that knowledge to the appropriate authorities.
Mr. BURCHETT. Maybe in a—if we could get in a confidential
area, a SCIF, we could talk about that. But unfortunately, we were
