"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.

Also, why would it be a shock to have a program to retrieve and reverse engineer any secret aircraft. If it's unknown, it's probably foreign military, and to not have a program to respond to that kind of thing would be pretty negligent.

And you know this for a fact because?

Well the titular "whistleblower" of the article has claimed the U.S. recovered a saucer from World War II dictator Benito Mussolini on a tip from Pope Pius XII. Sorry but that's firmly in tinfoil-hat territory. https://popculture.com/trending/news/vatican-helped-recover-...

People often joke about how the US should make aircraft that look like UFOs so that people don't take them seriously, but they don't consider the corollary: adversaries could make aircraft that look like UFOs, so that we don't take reported sightings of strange objects seriously.

Haven't watched the hearing, but when I've heard a breakdown of public comments over the past few months, what has struck me is how circuitous each statement has been. Person 1 high up in the food chain says that Person 2 told them there was something there, but Person 2 turns around and says either Person 1 or Person 3 told them. It feels like a lot of independent construction and circuitous logic, and the whole time I've found myself wondering about an end goal. Maybe this really is some gentle way of preparing the public, or maybe there are more incidents of things that the government can't explain so this is a PR campaign of sorts.

Everyone who is making the snarky comments have never had an encounter with a UAP.

My brothers and some of my friends had them twice when we were kids in New York.

You all are calling us a distraction, but it is absolutely nowhere in the news. If it was this distraction, it would be headline on CNN. But it’s not.

I literally know no one that knew this hearing was going on today.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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

Maybe they're really just different manifestations of the Flying Spaghetti Monster

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…

To be honest, the more I see the government leak little tidbits about aliens, the less I believe there are aliens.

Full hearing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EL_HYG3uXQg I watched it, pretty weird. Particularly interesting: 1:45:00 through 2:00:00

Thanks for posting the original source. Extremely weird indeed.

"Look like UFOs...."

Funny that "UFOs" used to look like cigars ... you know, back when dirigibles were a thing of the popular imagination.

The Guardian had live reporting of the hearing. If you Google “uap hearing” pretty much every major outlet covered it. Doesn’t need to be a front page headline for it to add noise to the chaos of the world.
