Re: US urged to reveal UFO evidence after claim that it has intact alien vehicles

I saw an interview with this guy just yesterday. He didn't see anything himself. His claim is that some people, and he believes them to be trustworthy, confided in him and showed him some documents. So, at best his testimony is hearsay. All of this stuff reeks of some kind of psyop. My belief is that for some reason, the US government used psychology tests to identify a select few people who naturally "want to believ…

I'll remember this next time someone shares a Guardian article as evidence of anything.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yes, but the universe is so mind mindbogglingly vast. So many galaxies and so many stars! It just doesn't seem right that what happened here didn't happen somewhere else.

The possible shapes of life are much bigger than the universe. The chances of intelligent life existing outside Earth are lower than the chance of that same intelligent life speaking flawless Swedish. We might as well send some Europop records to space as signals to aliens. "Intelligence" is a human invention created by humans to describe humanity. It only applies to humans and human-like beings.

my money is on convergent evolution. trees and crabs and birds on every planet. not sure about primates though

Why would anyone want to do this psyop? Who benefits from this?

Why does it have to be a conspiracy? Some small but significant portion of the population is mentally ill, and it seems likely a few would hear a joke ("we keep the alien space ships through that door, I'd show you but I'd have to kill you"), take it way too literally, and it becomes the focus of their mental illness. That seems not only possible but probable given the size the military industrial complex.

Am I missing something or is the only thing that makes this different than so many other "insider" claims is that this guy has a career history that implies he isn't just another crackpot spewing theories? It reads just like so many claims like we have heard in the past, but this time people think the guy is more reliable. It is pretty funny that the one of the people often quoted who backs up Grusch's claims is Jona…

> I'd love to think that alien contact is possible, but as I attempt to learn more and more about physics, travel approaching the speed of light, the mechanics that transformed us from a basic life form to a life form with a consciousness, it just seem incredibly unlikely sadly. With all the absurdly crazy complexity that has arisen in our universe, and the tiny primate brain you were born with, and the mere 10k year…

Damn, that was deep!

One of the firsts things you learn in the "I want to believe" side is to never trust the government.

Don't you see? The government is trying to suppress this information. That's why it has to be true! /s

Sounds like Grusch is upstanding, but I suspect he's been trolled by the rest of them. You can just imagine; "hey Eagle, the UFO guy's coming to ask about that UAP report, you know, the one where the IR tracker locked-on to a speck of dust. Let's mention the (nudge, hehe) black-ops alien testing site we saw when we went to file the report"

We, the general public, simply do not have enough information at this point to judge this man's testimony, or the evidence that he provided.

We have enough knowledge of physics to say these are extraordinary claims that require some extraordinary evidence.

Which is more likely? a) An alien civilization has overcome the massive problems of interstellar travel and is visiting us right now. or b) The people making these claims are wrong. While a) isn't impossible, b) seems so much more likely. Also if they have the technology to cross interstellar space, surely they have the technology not to be detected by us?

Occam's razor.

Even at non-relativistic speeds self replicating robots could have visited every star system in the galaxy within a few tens of millions of years. We haven't seen any evidence.

Everyone has the most advanced cameras in history in their phones and there's exactly zero indisputable pictures of UFOs, ghosts, fairies, chupacabras, Nessie, Bigfoots, Yetis, and so on.

If aliens can travel even a light year, they almost certainly also have the technology to not crash.

Your comment reads like psyops... trying to discredit the leakers.
