Just for fun: Am I the only one who thinks there's connection between this and the UAP news that's coming out? RTSC would probably enable a lot of incredible energy & maneuverability capabilities...

Sorry, indulging in a little off-topic conspiracy theorizing.

David Grusch is literally talking heresay with zero first hand accounts. Heresay is not allowed in courts for a reason. Snowden blew the lid off an international conspiracy, and he had gigabytes of receipts.

Grusch has talked to people who work in information constrained spaces working on advanced materials with fancy codenames. If he was able to give literally any proof besides words coming out of his mouth and "trust me bro, they could be interdimensional", I would give him some credence, but there is nothing.

Agree that it's second-hand...and even he states this. What about the 11 hours of testimony he's provided privately to congress that includes specific names, companies, and locations? What about the first-hand witnesses that congress has heard from that back-up Grusch's claims?

I mean, there are some seemingly crazy accusations...but even if only some of them are accurate, they're worth looking in to. And if it's all false, it's still very interesting that so many trusted individuals are making such crazy claims. That is its own huge issue.

There's also his request for access to a S.C.I.F. (lnk below) in which to discuss more fully what he's alleging.

Complaining he didn't give up everything he knows on live TV/streaming seems a bit unfair as the guy was active military and wants to keep his clearance.

It is fun to joke about alien technology.

But they are unrelated in reality. In fact they are pretty uncorrelated in terms of timeline. This material has supposedly been waiting in the wings for a while.

> has supposedly been waiting in the wings for a while

I'm not sure if that holds, the tic tac UFO has no actual wings :P

idiom stems from waiting in the wings of the stage... i.e. just out of sight of the audience.

Rumours about UFOs being hidden by the US government have also been in the wings for a while - like 70, 80 years.

We've known about superconductivity since 1911. For the sake of argument that Mussolini's UFO showed the way to "better" implementations of superconductivity, it wouldn't have taken this long if someone wanted to gradually leak it out, so I do think we did this all on our own.

UNLESS they were leaking it out with careful timing, using a proxy lab!

Sorry sorry I know conspiracy theories are a rabbit hole of 'but what if' but damnit I WANT TO BE GEORGE JETSON!
