The replies are third-party — there is no self-reply thread; Lavac’s statement is the single root tweet. Analysis: grusch-career-and-claims. What this is: identifies the author of the 1971 Australian Joint Intelligence Organisation minute paper Grusch cited at the 9 Jun 2026 press conference as Harry Turner, and points to two sources: Australian researcher Bill Chalker (@BillOZfiles), who reported on Turner and interviewed him (chalker-ozfiles-harry-turner), and the NAA document itself (recordsearch B=30030606 = turner-1971-jio-ufo-assessment-naa).
The author of the 1971 Australian Joint Intelligence Organisation minute paper that David Grusch referred to in today’s press conference Q&A at Capitol Hill was Harry Turner.
Australian researcher, Bill Chalker (@BillOZfiles) has comprehensively reported on Harry Turner’s work and interviewed him at length before his passing. Read more on Bill’s blog at: https://theozfiles.blogspot.com/search?q=Harry+Turner&m=1

Replies (third-party; recovered via nitter render)
- @jotoldyouso: “I found a kiwi version of the Aussie document. That’s wild too” → @GrantLavac: “Can you cite a source?” (no source provided in the thread — an unsubstantiated claim of a New Zealand counterpart document)
- @matheson73140: “When I heard David Grusch mention that I thought to myself Grant will be onto that straight away and sure enough 😉” → @GrantLavac: ”😁”
- @ebravo_x: “Where you excited and/or surprised to hear Grusch reference Australia in today’s new conference?” → @GrantLavac: “While he’s referenced it before in other public statements…it was nice to hear it again. I’ll be covering it later this month in more detail.” (Grusch has cited the Australian document before; Lavac says he will publish a fuller treatment later in June 2026)
- @FournierAiraud: “Amazing document. That’s the one that convinced me of the seriousness of UFOs. I did a deep dive on it a while ago for whomever is interested: sentinel-news.org/p/50-year-…” (links a June-2023 deep-dive on the report — captured at sentinel-news-turner-report-deep-dive-2023)
- @Botaccount16838: “@ericweinstein have you read the document re: gravity research?”
