# David Grusch Describes Alleged Recent UAP Retrieval Video Showing Human-Looking Beings

### Overview

Former U.S. intelligence official **David Grusch has described an alleged video showing a UAP retrieval operation and several human-looking figures**, according to remarks made during an interview with Joe Rogan on Sept. 30. Grusch said he had viewed the material while investigating what he has characterized as secret government and contractor programs involving the recovery of craft of unknown or non-human origin.

The account, published Oct. 1 by Above the Norm News, does not include the video itself, supporting imagery or documentation establishing its origin. As a result, the claims cannot currently be independently assessed. Grusch’s description represents an allegation about material he says he personally viewed—not publicly verifiable evidence of non-human technology or beings.

### Description of the Alleged Footage

Speaking during episode 2560 of *The Joe Rogan Experience*, Grusch said the material was video rather than footage he had witnessed directly at a retrieval site. He declined to provide a precise date, explaining that doing so could potentially identify the operation or the people who supplied the material. However, he characterized it as **relatively recent and clear**, rather than low-quality archival footage dating from the mid-20th century.

When Rogan asked what the figures looked like, Grusch initially described them as “human-looking.” He then said they appeared remarkably similar to people, with **pale bluish-white skin, greyish hair and otherwise familiar human facial and bodily features**. According to Grusch, the figures were not the primary subject of close-up documentation. Instead, they were visible within a broader scene depicting an alleged retrieval operation involving a recovered craft.

That limitation is significant. Grusch was describing what he believed he could distinguish from a video showing an unfolding operation, rather than claiming to have physically examined the figures or conducted a forensic analysis of the recording. The supplied account also provides no technical details about the camera, location, resolution, metadata or other features that might help establish the footage’s authenticity.

### Questions About Authentication

Rogan repeatedly questioned whether the material could have been fabricated, staged or deliberately presented to Grusch as part of an intelligence deception. Grusch said he had considered those possibilities and claimed he was cautious when reviewing documents, photographs and audiovisual material associated with his investigation.

He said he attempted to corroborate information independently and sometimes retained material for years before deciding that it was not part of what he called a deception or “limited hangout.” **Those alleged verification procedures have not been publicly documented**, however, and the original video has not been released for examination by journalists, scientists or independent image analysts.

Without access to the file, outside observers cannot establish its chain of custody, determine whether it has been edited or manipulated, identify where or when it was recorded, or assess whether the figures and craft have been correctly interpreted. The absence of that information leaves the central claims unresolved.

### Earlier Public Comments

The remarks appear to expand on comments Grusch made during an Aug. 13, 2026, appearance on Dr. Phil McGraw’s podcast. In that interview, he said individuals he associated with an alleged retrieval program had removed audiovisual evidence so he could view it. He described the material as including photographs and video, although the supplied report does not provide the full details of those earlier claims.

Grusch has spent more than three years publicly alleging that elements of the U.S. government and private contractors possess craft of unknown or non-human origin. His latest account adds a specific description of alleged occupants, but **it does not provide new publicly inspectable evidence**. Until the video or independently verifiable records become available, the account remains an unconfirmed claim based on Grusch’s description of material he says he saw.
