There's no aliens anywhere near earth. There really aren't. Given the staggering, likely impossible task of traveling between the stars, it's essentially impossible that they'd turn up on a planet with this many people and be so in tune with our technology and media that they manage to stay out of sight entirely, except for some government secret Area 53 base or whatever. If you think that traveling between the stars…
If he heard it from someone who saw the UFO, doesn’t that mean the account was second-hand for him? First-hand would be reserved for the person who saw the UFO, wouldn’t it? (Maybe that’s why they put quotes around that term, or maybe I’m wrong, I’m just not familiar with how he’s using the turn of phrase.
The quotes are to emphasize the word as a way to distinguish his assertion from deeper hearsay; what Rubio means by first-hand is emphasized with some discussion in the originating interview [0, video].

To try to catch hacker news up to the situation: David Grusch, A former NGA intelligence officer has recently come forward with allegations that there are waived, unacknowledged Special Access Programs that are reverse engineering non-human technology, and that these programs have not had proper congressional oversight. Why should we give him the time of day? Well, he was one of the highest intelligence officials in…
This is what is so frustrating about everyone dismissing this so off hand. Don't you at least want to get to the bottom of how large numbers of high ranking government officials have been convinced - or convinced to lie to us about - the US government being in possession of craft.
_Something_ is happening. Why don't we find out what?

Why are “David is having a very public mental health crisis.” or “David was mistaken about those programs.” not possibilities?
Is UFO credence starting to split along party lines?

I noticed Josh Hawley shoring up the Grusch allegations recently[1], and now Rubio (TFA links his name to Why Are Florida Republicans Paying a White Supremacist Goon? The saga of Marco Rubio and the Proud Boys [2], BTW) Is UFO credence starting to split along party lines? 1: https://www.newsweek.com/josh-hawley-ufo-whistleblower-repor... 2: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/10/marco-rubio-christop...

Nah there are other outcomes: they might be lying and it's not a big government psy-op, or they might be misinformed or deluded or caught up in a hysteria about things that are neither psy-ops nor the things that they say they are.

"At the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, Grusch served as a Senior Intelligence Capabilities Integration Officer, cleared at the Top Secret/Secret Compartmented Information level, and was the agency’s Senior Technical Advisor for Unidentified Aerial Phenomena analysis/Trans-Medium Issues. From 2016 to 2021, he served with the National Reconnaissance Office as Senior Intelligence Officer and led the production of the NRO director’s daily briefing. Grusch was a GS-15 civilian, the military equivalent of a Colonel."
He was not even close to "one of the highest intelligence officials in our nation". He was almost certainly not "read into over 2000 special access programs" and there's no credible claim that he ever briefed the President, let alone did it daily. He was a mid-level analyst who specialized in UAPs. He testified to Congress about what he heard and what he believes, and both of those could very easily be wrong without there being a "big government psy-op".
