Since then, the intrigue around what evidence the government has, or doesn’t have, around UFOs has only intensified. Grusch’s allegation, aired in interviews with the Debrief and NewsNation, that the federal government was hiding this evidence of alien craft from Congress sparked a firestorm in June, prompting the Republican-led oversight committee to launch an immediate investigation. Grusch added: “I am hopeful that my actions will ultimately lead to a positive outcome of increased transparency.” Under questioning, Grusch confirmed that he had knowledge of “people who have been harmed or injured” in the course of government efforts to conceal UFO information.Īsked by an oversight committee member if he had “feared for his life”, Grusch replied: “Yes definitely.” “It hurt me both professionally and personally,” Grusch said. Speaking on Wednesday, Grusch said he has faced “very brutal” retaliation as a result of his allegations. He said that in his role in the government he had been charged with investigating what military, defense and other agencies knew about aliens and alien craft, but alleged he had been prevented from accessing secret government UFO programs. Grusch filed a whistleblower complaint in 2022. The hearing attracted intense global interest, and provided speculation and claims that the US is hiding evidence of alien life and technology – mixed with large doses of skepticism. “I was informed, in the course of my official duties, of a multi-decade UAP crash retrieval and reverse-engineering program, to which I was denied access,” Grusch told the committee.

Friedman said Open Road plans to add two more online communities, one in late 2016 and another in early 2017.įinding ways to profitably grow Open Road’s revenue will be the top priority for Slavin, who Open Road said “will lead the company's next phase beyond content-spearheading Open Road's expanding focus on engaging and connecting with consumers while creating multiple new revenue streams through media and e-commerce.” Specific efforts included Early Bird Books, a daily newsletter with discounted e-book offers (with 375,000 subscribers), and the Lineup, a true-crime community site (with books from all publishers) that attracts 2.5 million page views and 1.3 million unique visitors per month. In an interview with PW this spring, Friedman said first quarter e-book sales were “fine.” In that same interview Slavin pointed to Open Road’s growing use of social media, and its online promotions, as things that have boosted e-book sales. That funding helped the company acquire a number of e-book publishers over the years, including E-reads and the e-book line of Premier Digital Publishing, both acquired in 2014. According to the Wall Street Journal, Open Road has received about $30 million in venture capital. Open Road, which was founded in 2009, has amassed an e-book catalogue of over 10,000 titles, but has yet to turn a profit.
