"Whistleblower tells Congress US is concealing 'multi-decade' UFO capture program" --> "Whistleblower is deluded" There's no UFOs. Well let me clarify - there's no aliens. If there are UFOs then they are made right here on earth and just need close up, non fuzzy photos.

And you know this for a fact because?

Because it's as well documented and supported as God.

For those asking "Why now?" ... here's a couple wild takes: The Interstellar Squid have arrived. They're hanging out around Saturn (cf "largest comet ever"). Even after a century of preparation and propaganda, there is a large fraction of humanity who refuses to conceive of intelligence other than human. This is the last gasp at preparing them. That, or the political corruption has gotten so rank that they're scrapin…

Well, have you ever tried navigating interstellar space? It's not exactly a walk in the park. Even for our sophisticated cephalopod friends, the Interstellar Squid, it's a bit of a pickle.

Oh, and let's not forget about the Squid's notoriously poor sense of direction. They've probably been circling Saturn for the past decade thinking it's Jupiter. I wouldn't be surprised if they show up in a few millennia, asking for directions to Earth.

So, let's cut our Squid friends some slack. Interstellar travel is hard, and they're doing their squid-best.

It's always a little disappointing how many people fail this IQ test.

Government agencies have hidden pretty astounding things in the past: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_Committee

Those are all rather mundane things. Compared to intelligent life flying around in Earth, which, would presumably fly around many countries, not just the US, would require a coordinated, worldwide many year effort to keep secret.

Not even a little bit the same ballpark.

> I was informed in the course of my official duties of a multi-decade UAP crash retrieval and reverse engineering program to which I was denied access that’s bullshit, but i’ll believe it.

informed intentionally because someone picked him as the gullible fall guy to leak it, more likely… why would the military tell someone and also deny access

To test their ability to keep a secret while vetting them to handle actual secrets. If they leak it, that's fine because it's made up and is mostly harmless, if not, then they can be trusted to find out where Jimmy Hoffa actually buried JFK.

well, they invented the basic outline of eyes we have, so give them some cred (our eyes are flipped, I wonder how this relates to swimming in liquid in contrast with gas)

if anything, scalar interstellar travel is SLOW

Clearly then they are also hiding the hollow earth and the lizardmen and the sentient troll drolls. But that argument doesn't work, right? Because just because they hid something previously doesn't mean they are guaranteed to be hiding what you want now.
