Eric Davis asserts that AAWSAP had access to various intelligence sources regarding Russia.<\/p>\n
According to a transcript of his comments, he mentions that “Russia has had some crash retrievals, information that became available after the Soviet Union collapsed when the KGB declassified certain files. George Knapp and others traveled there and uncovered some documents.”<\/p>\n
Davis goes on to say he had access to classified information through the AAWSAP program and established a connection with a three-letter agency. This agency collected intelligence not solely from the KGB\u2019s open records, but also from their own sources. These sources provided genuine documents, photographs, reports, and summaries that convinced him there is evidence of at least one crash retrieval. While he cannot confirm when this incident occurred\u2014whether in the 40s, 50s, 60s, or 70s\u2014he notes that he encountered relevant information from the late 1980s.<\/p>\n
Davis also remarks, “They do possess hardware, but I don\u2019t think they have been successful in reverse engineering it.” <\/p>\n
In addition, David Grusch states he gained access to the AAWSAP’s \u2018classified archive,\u2019 claiming it included intelligence from a \u2018foreign adversary\u2019 that corroborated the existence of the US crash retrieval program. <\/p>\n
