David Grusch on Joe Rogan Podcast Claims UFO Crash Footage Showed ‘Greek God’ Aliens, ‘Gorilla-Like’ Beings

Former US intelligence officer and UFO whistleblower David Grusch has made a series of extraordinary claims about alleged alien encounters, crashed spacecraft and non-human beings during an appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience. Grusch said he had seen classified footage related to a UFO crash and described alleged beings that resembled “Greek gods”, as well as reports of seven-foot-tall, scaly creatures with gorilla-like features.

Grusch discussed the claims during a recent episode of Joe Rogan’s podcast, where he spoke at length about what he said he learned while working on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) investigations. He stressed that he had not personally encountered the alleged reptilian creatures and that some of the information came from colleagues and other sources. Who Is David Grusch? What Has He Claimed About UFO and Aliens on Earth? Here's All You Need To Know.

David Grusch Describes ‘Greek God’ Alien Bodies

According to Grusch, he was shown audio-visual material connected to a contemporary UFO crash-retrieval incident. He claimed the footage showed several deceased non-human bodies inside a crescent-shaped craft. Grusch described the beings as broadly humanoid and said they appeared pale or bluish-white, with long hair. He compared their appearance to the traditional image of Greek gods, calling them unusually human-like and beautiful.

The former intelligence officer said he did not personally witness the alleged crash or the bodies at the site. Instead, he said the footage was shown to him during his work and that he attempted to corroborate the information through other sources.

‘Gorilla-Looking’ Reptilian Aliens

Grusch also spoke about another alleged type of non-human being described to him by colleagues. He said some witnesses had reported seeing creatures more than seven feet tall with scaly skin and a “gorilla-looking” appearance. Grusch repeatedly clarified that he had not personally seen these beings and was relying on accounts from people he considered credible. He further claimed that some alleged crash-retrieval incidents involved both reptilian creatures and smaller “gray” beings. According to his account, the two types of beings may have been involved in conflicts, although he did not provide publicly verifiable evidence for the claim.

Claims About UFO Crashes and ‘Tic Tac’ Craft

During the conversation, Grusch described several alleged types of craft, including Tic Tac-shaped objects, discs, egg-shaped craft, boomerangs, crescent-shaped objects and vehicles resembling sunfish. He also linked the alleged reptilian beings to Tic Tac-shaped craft and referenced the well-known 2004 encounter involving US Navy pilots near the USS Nimitz off the California coast. The 2004 incident remains officially unresolved as a UAP case. The US government has released video associated with the encounter, but that material does not establish that the object was extraterrestrial.

Grusch Claims ‘Non-Human Intelligence’ Conflict

Grusch suggested that some UFO crashes could have resulted from encounters between different forms of what he described as non-human intelligence. During the podcast, Rogan asked whether the alleged gray and reptilian beings could have been involved in conflict. Grusch said there were records that, in his account, appeared to indicate such encounters. He also claimed that some reptilian beings were allegedly found alive following a crash and were later killed by military personnel after one of them reportedly killed a US servicemember. These claims have not been independently verified.

What David Grusch Previously Told Congress

Grusch became widely known in 2023 after publicly alleging that the US government had a long-running programme involving the recovery and attempted reverse engineering of craft of non-human origin. In testimony before a House committee in July 2023, he said his allegations were based on information provided by current and former government and intelligence personnel, as well as material he said he had reviewed. He told lawmakers that he had taken steps to corroborate the information but acknowledged that much of his testimony was based on what others had told him.

The Pentagon has disputed the existence of a programme recovering and reverse-engineering extraterrestrial technology. The Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) said in its historical review that it found no empirical evidence that the US government or private companies had been reverse-engineering extraterrestrial technology. NASA has likewise said it has not found credible evidence of extraterrestrial life and that there is no evidence that UAPs are extraterrestrial.

Joe Rogan Podcast Renews UFO Debate

The appearance comes amid renewed public and political interest in UFO and UAP disclosures in the United States. Grusch's interview has brought his earlier allegations back into the spotlight while adding new claims about alleged alien species, UFO crashes and possible conflicts between different non-human entities.

However, the descriptions of “Greek god” beings, “gorilla-looking” reptilians and alleged alien warfare remain claims made by Grusch and have not been publicly substantiated by independently verifiable evidence. Grusch said during the podcast that he believes more information about the alleged programmes and recovered craft could eventually become public.
