> Asked by Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., how such a program is funded, Grusch claimed that the effort is "above congressional oversight" and bankrolled by a "misappropriation of funds."

> "Does that mean that there is money in the budget that is set to go to a program but it doesn't and it goes to something else?," Moskowitz asked.

> "Yes. I have specific knowledge of that," Grusch said, though he did not provide more details, claiming the information remains classified.

The chances of "we have aliens" being unclassified, but the exact details being classified... is fairly slim.
