Capitol UAP Press Conference — Grusch, Fox, Kean, Luna, Burchett Demand Declassification

On June 9, 2026, at 1:00 PM, a historic bipartisan coalition of members of Congress, whistleblowers, investigative journalists, and documentary filmmakers gathered on the steps of the U.S. Capitol to appeal directly to President Trump: to fully declassify specific UAP files and to pass the UAP Disclosure Act.

PARTICIPANTS: David Grusch (former Air Force/DIA, whistleblower, Special Advisor Rep. Burlison) — Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN, Co-Chair bipartisan House UAP Caucus) — Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL, Chair Task Force on Declassification of Federal Secrets) — Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO, received classified briefings on UAP) — Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL, Co-Chair House UAP Caucus) — Leslie Kean (investigative journalist, NYT, Co-Moderator) — James Fox (documentary filmmaker, Co-Moderator).

GRUSCH STATEMENTS: Grusch emphasized that he learned directly through classified channels of UAP programs encompassing non-human origin recovery vehicles and non-human biologics. He called for the public declassification of specific files he has already identified to oversight committees. Quote: 'President Trump now has a historic opportunity; this press conference is about moving from testimony to action. Let the American people judge the facts for themselves.' Grusch had previously described a UAP in a private New York briefing: approximately 12 meters in diameter on the outside, yet as large as a football field on the inside — possible space-time manipulation. The vehicle is said to generate over 1 terawatt of energy — more than the entire continuous electricity generation of the United States.

CONGRESSIONAL STATEMENTS: Burchett: Previous declassifications were 'Deep State classic' — low-hanging fruit that avoids the most compelling evidence. He had seen evidence that would keep Americans up at night. Reports of 5–6 underwater bases off the U.S. coast. Luna: Personally observed non-human origin of evidence in classified settings. Agencies continue to block Congress. Burlison: Viewed classified videos of luminous, intelligently controlled plasma orbs breaking the laws of physics — incredible speeds, 'playful' behavior, advanced maneuvers. Connected to the 'UFO briefing everyone wants' (Feb. 2026, El Paso/Fort Bliss) — a controlled U.S. military operation for the summoning of UAPs. Moskowitz: 'The American people have a right to know. Disclosure is needed now.'

DEMANDS: (1) UAP Disclosure Act — mandatory requirement for all federal agencies to declassify UAP files and publish them online. (2) Strengthening of whistleblower protections. (3) Call on foreign governments to join the disclosure process. (4) Declassification of specific files that Grusch has identified to oversight committees.

CONTEXT: The press conference took place 19 days after Trump's first declassification directive (May 2026), which had directed over 1 billion users worldwide to the war.gov/UFO website. Fox: 'The public deserves real answers, Congress deserves access, and reality should not be classified. If our requests are fulfilled, this could change the course of history.'

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The first public event of its kind at which sitting members of Congress, a high-ranking whistleblower, and leading UAP journalists/filmmakers stood together on the steps of the Capitol. Regarded as a turning point: from witness testimony to concrete demands for action.
