An air force veteran turned whistleblower has claimed the US government is hiding a massive alien base at the bottom of the ocean. Ex-intelligence official David Grusch, who exposed secret Pentagon UFO programmes in 2023, says military bosses are aware of a huge extraterrestrial hub concealed deep under the sea.
Claims of underwater base on podcast
Appearing on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Grusch said top brass know about at least one gigantic underwater site used as a launchpad for alien craft. Warning that he had to tread carefully around "sensitive Navy underwater things," he said: "There's clearly some sort of base of operations in certain locations. It's large. Don't know when it got there... Like multiple city blocks type stuff."
He added that "stuff comes and goes" from the submerged hub, claiming his information stems from top-secret files, classified footage and insider confessions. While refusing to leak precise coordinates or tracking methods due to national security, Grusch said US naval contacts likened the secret underwater structure to James Cameron's sci-fi movie The Abyss.
He said: "I will tell you, underwater people, I know that come from that community, they're always like, 'You know, the Abyss, Dave, it's kind of a docudrama.' And I'm like, 'Holy f***.'"
Background and supporting claims
Grusch, who spent 14 years in the Air Force before joining the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) and the Pentagon's UFO Task Force, previously testified under oath to Congress about multi-decade UFO recovery programmes. His claims back up previous comments from US Congressman Tim Burchett, who said mysterious alien craft were routinely spotted zipping through deep ocean trenches around the Bahamas at high speeds.
Burchett told journalist Matt Laslo: "We have naval personnel telling me we have these sightings, these underwater craft they're chasing that go hundreds of miles an hour, and the best we got is something that does maybe a little under forty miles an hour."
Footage of alien corpses claimed
During the same podcast episode, Grusch claimed he was shown high-definition footage of dead extraterrestrial corpses recovered from a crash site. Describing the beings as "very beautiful" with pale, bluish-white skin, he said the bodies are currently being kept on ice in a frozen military facility.
When Rogan asked if the footage would ever be released to the public, Grusch said: "Probably. There's a lot of audio-visual stuff. The problem with the current climate is you're going to have to wheel out the physical evidence, too, because the trust in government is so low right now." The White House and Pentagon have consistently denied possessing physical evidence of extraterrestrial life or alien craft.
