Grusch says account of alleged reptilian beings was secondhand

Published 3 October 2026

David Grusch said during a September 30 interview with Joe Rogan that US personnel shot alleged reptilian beings who survived a crashed unidentified craft, while emphasizing that the account came from another person and was not something he witnessed. The former intelligence officer offered no publicly verifiable evidence of the alleged encounter. Grusch described the beings as more than seven feet tall, heavily built and covered in scales, relaying a description he attributed to a friend. He said the alleged craft had crashed amid what he characterized as conflict between different kinds of nonhuman intelligence. According to his account, dead gray beings were also found at the site, while the reptilian beings survived and were later shot after posing a threat to personnel. The interview account does not establish that the crash, beings or shooting occurred. Grusch said he had never seen the reptilian beings himself. The reports provide no names of people involved or independently verifiable records tied to the alleged incident. Grusch’s description and shooting claim derive from his statements in the interview, rather than independent confirmation of the events.
