I am behind on some of the details, but here’s a glaring and easy inconsistency: The AARO was established in July 2022. How would it have been possible for Grusch to have been trying to reach out to them “for years” when they haven’t existed even for a year?
Coulthart asked him specifically about Kirkpatrick’s statements that there is “no credible evidence” for any extraterrestrial technology.
I just rewatched the relevant clip from the Coulthart interview. Grusch stated that he knew Kirkpatrick for 8+ years, before AARO. He stated specifically that he informed Kirkpatrick in an attempt to draw attention, and that Kirkpatrick never followed up with him. He goes on to say that Kirkpatrick could have done all the same investigations that he, Grusch, had, but chose not to for whatever reason.
So not AARO generally, but Kirkpatrick specifically is who Grusch referred to. I amended my comment to compensate for my bad memory.

That makes a lot more sense now. Thanks for clarifying.
