Kirk McConnell, former Senate intel staffer: UFO witnesses feared for their lives
In a revealing interview on American Alchemy with Jesse Michels, former Senate Intelligence and Armed Services Committee staffer Kirk McConnell speaks out about the U.S. government's deep-seated UFO secrecy. After 18 years on Capitol Hill, McConnell sheds light on how classified programs conceal advanced technology under layers of corporate control and bureaucratic loopholes, making meaningful oversight nearly impossible.McConnell, who personally engaged with UFO crash retrieval whistleblowers and investigated David Grusch’s claims, describes the intense fear these sources exhibit when testifying before Congress. He warns that groundbreaking scientific advancements remain locked away in clandestine programs unless legislative oversight is restored.This aligns with previous reports from investigative journalist Michael Shellenberger, who noted the unmistakable fear in whistleblowers he interviewed, stating, “It’s very hard to fake that kind of fear.” Similarly, in a November 2023 appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, Grusch claimed he and his wife were personally threatened, saying, “They showed my wife and I they can touch me at any time. Two times.”
