A UFO whistleblower has said the US government is hiding a 12-metre ‘Tardis-like’ craft that is ‘the size of a football field’ inside.
Former intelligence officer David Grusch made the comments at a secret presentation reported to have been attended by officials from the CIA, FBI and Wall Street ‘bigwigs’.
According to MailOnline, around 60 people attended the talk in a New York penthouse, hosted by cryptocurrency advisor John D’Agostino and high-profile lawyer John J Altorelli.
Photos were banned, but an anonymous leaker has shared images of Mr Grusch speaking, and divulged some of his claims – including the ‘Tardis’, which they said could manipulate both space and time and use and could harness enough energy to power 70,000 homes a year.
However, they did not provide further information as to how this would be possible.
‘It was hosted by a Wall Street bigwig and his lawyer friend,’ said the source who leaked the photos.
‘It was sort of a small saloon-style talk. David also did it for free. Even went as far as to fly into NYC just for this.
‘He had arrived only a few hours beforehand and then left first thing the next day.

‘The idea was to get a group of both skeptics and believers from all these different walks of life for a talk regarding David and the things he has said.
‘Most of the people who left had left as believers.’
Those in attendance were invited by Mr D’Agostino, an advisor to the Coinbase cryptocurrency firm, and Mr Altorelli, who are said to host similar talks every month.
Mr Grusch made headlines last summer when alleging the US government had evidence of ‘intact and partially intact alien spacecraft’. Those remarks helped prompt the first congressional hearing into unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), in which he and two other military witnesses shared their experiences.
While speaking under oath, Mr Grusch said people have been ‘harmed or injured’ in an effort to cover up the information.
The source said he discussed those claims again in New York, writing in a now-deleted Reddit post: ‘Multiple people involved in not only his investigation but also his fellow peers in the UAP task force, such as Jay Stratton [a former government UFO investigator], were also threatened.
‘He wouldn’t go too much into it since it’s an open investigation, but these people pretty much showed him that they could touch him or his family any time they wanted.’
The decorated former Air Force intelligence officer has never claimed to have witnessed any evidence of UAP wreckages or aliens himself, but believes up to 50 people are aware of their existence.
Speaking on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast in November, he said the government had retrieved at least ten alien bodies from UFO crashes.
In New York, Mr Grusch is also said to have claimed a US rival is poised to reveal their own evidence of non-human intelligence to beat America to the punch’ – contradicting claims the government is covering up what it knows.
Despite the congressional hearing and a high-profile report by Nasa declaring there was no evidence UAP have an extra-terrestrial origin, government officials will receive a secret briefing on the matter in two days’ time.
In a Q&A session after the talk Mr Grusch also speculated on what aliens may look like – the ‘typical grey’. He added they may also be extra-dimensional, but they could just appear this way because of the technology they use.
The post continued: ‘Apparently, it was the only private non-government talk he had done so far.
‘As for how I feel about everything after hearing him speak – he is extremely smart, I mean, he has an almost unbelievable memory and knowledge about intel laws and other things that have to do with UAPs.
‘My opinion is that he is the real deal.
‘Almost everyone left that night fully believing what he was saying or, at the very least, that HE believed what he was saying as the truth.’
