Don’t know anything about Matt Laslo, but here’s the summary of the post via GPT.
Summary:
-
The latest Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP; formerly UFO) whistleblower, former US intelligence officer David Grusch, has been vetted by the inspector general and found credible. This is the first time a UAP whistleblower has gone through this process, according to Senate Intelligence Committee Vice-Chair Marco Rubio.
-
Rubio confirmed that not only Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), a member of both the Select Intelligence and Armed Services Committees, is actively vetting Grusch in the Senate, but he has also been interviewed by the Intelligence Committee staff.
-
The whistleblower’s claim is that there are programs that should have been notified to Congress but were not. Rubio stated that such claims have been made for years, and they would be very disturbed if true.
-
More exclusive, breaking congressional UAP news is expected in the ensuing days and weeks.
Edit: fixed the authors name.
