Navy confirms AATIP involvement via spokesperson
Navy spokesperson Joseph Gradisher confirmed to a Swedish journalist that AATIP involved offices across the Defense Department, including the Navy. He classified the details but acknowledged the connection publicly.
Background
In September 2019, Roger Glassel received an official statement from Joseph Gradisher. The spokesperson admitted that multiple DOD offices participated in AATIP activities. This confirmation contradicted earlier FOIA denials suggesting no Navy connection existed. Gradisher referred further inquiries back to the Department of Defense while maintaining classification status.
