This is the official transcript of a July 26, 2023 hearing held by the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Accountability's Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs. The hearing was titled "Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Implications on National Security, Public Safety, and Government Transparency." Ryan Graves, David Grusch and retired Commander David Fravor testified. Members pressed for transparency and whistleblower protections, and Graves described a near miss involving a dark cube inside a clear sphere.

So, at one point you had said that there has been harmful activ-
ity or aggressive activity. Has any of the activity been aggressive,
been hostile, in your reports?
Mr. GRUSCH. I know of multiple colleagues of mine that got phys-
ically injured and the activity——
Mr. BURLISON. By UAPs or by people within the Federal Govern-
ment?
Mr. GRUSCH. Both.
Mr. BURLISON. OK. So, there has been activity by alien or
nonhuman technology and/or beings that has caused harm to hu-
mans?
Mr. GRUSCH. I cannot get into the specifics in an open environ-
ment, but at least the activity that I personally witnessed—and I
have to be very careful here because you do not—you know, they
tell you never to acknowledge tradecraft, right.
So, what I personally witnessed, myself and my wife, was very
disturbing.
Mr. BURLISON. OK. One of my constituents actually sent this
next question and I figured I would ask it since I have the same
thought. You have said that U.S. has intact spacecraft. You said
that the government has alien bodies or alien species. Have you
seen—have you seen the spacecraft?
Mr. GRUSCH. I have to be careful to describe what I have seen
firsthand and not in this environment. But I could answer that
question behind closed doors.
Mr. BURLISON. Have you seen any of the bodies?
Mr. GRUSCH. That is something I have not witnessed myself.
Mr. BURLISON. OK. And so with that being said, you know, the
other statement that has been made that was intriguing to me be-
cause—and it is intriguing because my view has been that we are
billions of light years away from any other system and the concept
that an alien species that is technologically advanced enough to
travel billions of light years gets here and somehow is incompetent
enough to not survive Earth or crashes is something that I find a
little bit farfetched.
And that with that being said, you have mentioned that there is
interdimensional potential. Could you expound on that?
Mr. GRUSCH. To answer your first question and, you know, I am
here as a fact witness and not an expert, but I will give you a theo-
retical framework at least to work off to kind of espouse crashes.
Regardless of, you know, your level of sentience, right—you
know, planes crash, cars crash, and a number of sorties, however
high, a small percentage are going to end in, you know, mission
failure, if you will, as we say in the Air Force.
And then in terms of multidimensionality, that kind of thing, the
framework that I am familiar with, for example, is something
called the holographic principle both—it derives itself from general
relativity and quantum mechanics and that is if you want to imag-
ine a 3D object such as yourself casting a shadow onto a 2D surface
that is the holographic principle.
So, you can be projected—quasi projected from higher dimen-
sional space to lower dimensional. It is a scientific trope that you
can actually cross, literally, as far as I understand, but there is

Cases discussed
