The guy has done a seven hour interview with Ross Coulthart, that is due to come out this week. He is reported to have such photos, documents, etc.
This story is bigger than Watergate by orders of magnitude. You playing ignorant here is ridiculous.
There have been "Retired intelligence officer says he has evidence of aliens" stories floating in fringe media for decades, and all of them have turned out to be cranks. Bob Lazar has been working this beat since 1989; where's the evidence?
Maybe eventually one of these times it'll all be true, but skepticism -- extreme skepticism -- should absolutely be the default position here.
A real skeptic actually looks at the data and isn't content simply by ignoring it.
Here, you simply imply this guy was a "crank". Maybe you should take a closer look first?
As it stands now -- we have nothing.
Your attempts to relativize that with nonsensical "Let's put the cart before the horse and our heads in the sand"-arguments are misleading.
Yes, probably some kind of rather involved psychological/propaganda operation to jump-start the public's faith in technology as the solution to manifestly worsening conditions, or to restore faith in institutions whose credibility is in tatters.
On top of it you pretend to be able to judge the validity of "artifacts". That is mere posturing.
You miss the slightly more important point of having been lied to your entire life by the government about fundamental topics, which is beginning to unravel here.
Right -- and so far there's an accumulation of precisely zero.
On top of it you pretend to be able to judge the validity of "artifacts".
I defer largely to (legitimate) experts, actually. But as of yet: there are no artifacts to evaluate.
You not knowing about the already existing evidence is no proof of its inexistence.
What "legitimate experts" exactly are you referring to and where?
The whistleblower here is talking, among other important things, about a secret US military program attempting to reverse engineer non-human artifacts. Your demands here are out of context and nonsensical.
And hey, you can believe whatever you want about this stuff. I really don't care. I do find most of the line of discussion here to be quite silly, though.
Until then -- all I'm saying is: C'mon, people -- hold your horses.
We're scientists here, after all.
What you are is unclear to me.
And yet, when you actually listened to what the guy was saying ...
I don't know though, whether Colin Powell risked his career in any way, it doesn't look like it.
You are weirdly not providing any reasoned arguments whatsoever, only illogical slander. Why is that?
I think it's clear we're talking past each other by this point. Again, you can fit this news story into your head however you like.
