Ken LaCorte, a former Fox News executive and host of the Elephants in Rooms podcast, appeared on the Breaking Battlegrounds podcast on June 20, in which he discussed reports of a UFO "whistleblower" from within the U.S. intelligence community.

"Some weird stuff is going on, and the biggest thing is some news that has been just really ignored in almost all of the mainstream press," he said on the podcast. "And it's that a fairly high-level national security, defense, intelligence guy who worked on some of this stuff came out with some just crazy concepts, saying, that the United States has multiple alien crafts in its possession and is reverse engineering and, you know, has this stuff out there. But that was the essence of his claim."

LaCorte told hosts Chuck Warren and Sam Stone that David Grusch, a former employee of the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, had disclosed that the U.S. had been hiding information about the existence of extraterrestrial life, as well as the presence of alien aircraft the U.S. government now possesses.

In an interview with The Debrief, Grusch made claims about what is now called "unexplained anomalous phenomena" (UAP) research conducted by the government, including their alleged possession of alien craft. Grusch said the details have been unlawfully concealed. Grusch, who worked for the government for 14 years, said he reported that and other claims about alien life to Congress.

"And you normally just say, forget it," LaCorte told Warren and Stone on the podcast. "But this is the guy who had the, you know, a JF-15 clearance, who has serious, serious people saying 'you should listen to this guy', because he's real, like, a general, and the former head scientist at one of our top agencies."

"He filed a whistleblower complaint, a complaint that he actually helped write the law for UFO whistleblowers, which they now call UAP, unidentified aerial phenomena. And you can't dismiss him as a nut," LaCorte added.

In addition, he said, "NASA held a hearing two weeks ago, where they showed some of that some of those footage of metal spheres that are flying through the air and doing weird things," LaCorte said. "And they're like, 'we have these on visual, we have these on radar, we have these on multiple sensor type of systems.'"

Because of the new information of things that can't be explained, "it puts so many past guys that you said, 'he's a nut', 'he's a nut', 'she's a nut', in a little bit better perspective, it makes you scratch your head," LaCorte said.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) told the Hill that the revelations are not a shock.

“He’s saying that the government knows more about this than they have previously let on," he said. "That doesn’t really surprise me. Because it looks to me like the government has been tracking these UAPs for a long time now, and has not been saying much about it."
