A Vatican official has denied a recent whistleblower’s claim that it was involved in a cover-up of extraterrestrial craft.
David Grusch, a decorated Air Force veteran and former senior intelligence officer, reported to media outlets The Debrief and NewsNation that classified information about the government’s possession of craft of nonhuman origin has been illegally withheld from Congress.
Grusch told interviewers he handed classified information on the craft to Congress and the Intelligence Community Inspector General and filed a complaint that he’s suffered from retaliation since becoming a whistleblower.
The publication of his statements on June 5 was followed up by a publication of more segments from the interview on June 11 in which he claimed that Pope Pius XII backchannelled a partially intact UAP Italian Dictator Benito Mussolini’s regime discovered in 1933.
Historically, it’s been reported that Mussolini documented UAPs, as demonstrated by the Italian Secret Services’ internal memo showing drawings of craft, according to NewsNation.
It was the first documented retrieval before the next one in Roswell, New Mexico, Grusch said.
“The Italian government moved it to a secure air base in Italy for the rest of the fascist regime until 1944-1945,” Grusch said.
It was then when Pope Pias XII informed the Americans of the craft, Grusch said.
“We ended up scooping it,” Grusch said.
Ross Coulthart, the investigative reporter who was interviewing Grusch for NewsNation, said, “Let me be very clear about this: you’re saying that the Catholic Church—the Vatican—they know about the existence of nonhuman intelligence on this planet,” to which Grusch responded, “Certainly.”
The Epoch Times contacted the Vatican for comment.
In response, Marco Grilli, the secretary of the prefecture for the Vatican Apostolic Archives, told The Epoch Times that the Monsignor Prefect “directed me to inform you that no mention of that topic of your interest is contained in the archival fonds of this Vatican Apostolic Archives.”
