Its not like I was expecting them to reveal aliens, but the whole thing was just a long winded way of saying "we don't know yet lol"
The more interesting one is seeing the signs that there is growing momentum in the government to gain more clearance and potentially make more classified information public. So perhaps this is the amuse-bouche?
- aliens exist - they have recovered technology - they have recovered bodies - there's a shadow government of people approving access to information on a higher level than the government - money is being directly taken out of other projects and/or services to fund UAP projects - there is an active disinformation program in the government directly regarding UAPs - people have been criminally abused by government contractors over this - there's massive mismanagement with government military contractors
Etc etc. If you're a UFO nerd you've heard it all before, but this is pretty big stuff to have on record, and that's the main thing. A lot of that needs to be followed up legally, and it sounds like a lot more is going to be discussed behind closed doors.
I understand the skepticism but really think most of you don't understand that there's a lot going on in this hearing.
wait... someone testified _under oath_ that these things exist? Either they're lying/exaggerating, or they just announced the single largest discovery in the history of the human race? I feel stupid just typing this...
Or mistaken, or they're accurately reporting what someone else told them, who was lying/exaggerating/mistaken.
(Please don't say Armageddon!)
Our first encounter with extraterrestrial life will probably be microbes, exciting but not exactly little green men from X-Files.
Grusch states they have "biologics" that are "non-human" based on people he talked to
So it's a complete nothing burger.
The part that never adds up to me is the complete lack of concrete evidence in the open (when there is ubiquitous technology for detection in the hands of the public), or the implied astonishing competence of governments and agencies cooperating internationally to keep alien intelligence hidden. We couldn't prevent a pandemic, have lost nuclear weapons and are watching the planet die due to carbon emissions… yet somehow the alien-intelligence-suppression-network works?
Unfortunately all of that is still classified but congresspeople who have been briefed have been sufficiently motivated to introduce legislation to investigate further (as Chuck Schumer has recently done in the Senate).
My assumption is that they recovered apes placed into advanced test drones. After all, apes were put into early test spacecraft in the 1950s and 1960s. But today animal rights is a bigger concern, and the use of animal test subjects could cause controversy, so they want to keep that quiet. Hence the person testifying would disclose that only in a SCIF.
OK.
> - there is an active disinformation program in the government directly regarding UAPs
Would that active disinformation program include having people go testify to Congress, in front of cameras, and tell them what's in my first quoted section?
More generally, any time someone says "there is a disinformation campaign saying X", there is a greater than zero chance that, yes, there is a disinformation campaign, and that person making that claim is (knowingly or not) part of that campaign.
I do support continuing the Congressional investigation. Even if there are no aliens, they might find evidence of misuse of government funds or violations of oversight rules. Let's get clear on how our tax dollars are being spent. Members of the Defense and Intelligence committees are cleared at the highest levels so there's no legal reason to conceal the existence of any programs from them.
There was so much "non-revealance" announced.
Every question that must be closed/scif based confirms the darkest thoughts.
We have been in contact with them from the 1930s in the current extant of global governments....
They interfere with sensors, weapons arming and are concerned about nukes.
There have been "very disturbing" incidents with malevolent entities.
Wait till we get to the biologics part...
They DIDNT ask if DNA was recovered or other medical/tissue samples... that should be the fundamental question ; what does their DNA look like, if we had recovored "biologics" and then what was done with that information? Were hybrids being made from them?
They also never ask about breakaway civs.
The one new thing is that David Grusch committed to immediately naming specific people, agencies, and locations where craft are supposedly stored to Congress.
Let's talk about congressmen insider trading instead.
