A top Pentagon official has attacked this week’s widely watched congressional hearing on UFOs, calling the claims “insulting” to employees who are investigating sightings and accusing a key witness of not cooperating with the official U.S. government investigation.

    Who should we trust more:

    the 3 military personnel/whistleblower who requested to be sworn in under oath

    Or the person who frequently denies to be put under oath and instead vents on LinkedIn

    Lol, did he want him to walk in with an alien?

    He must realize that, if he had first hand evidence, he’d have been dead by now if he was talking like this.

      In their defense, the only reason the government allowed him to talk about it WAS because it’s hearsay. The government allowing him to talk is neither a denial or confirmation of the anything he said. The interesting part to me was that he said he was willing to talk specifics in a SCIF, but for some reason wasn’t allowed use of one. Also the hearing, while talking about UAP, is actually more about how congress has been allegedly kept from oversite of a government program and that’s illegal.

    I mean if these guys were grifters, surely there would be more than just one retired guy saying they are liars. No?

    I don’t discount aliens outright, in fact I do believe, but I’d imagine any type of meta being would not be bound by physical bodies, and would more so exist within consciousness itself.

    I do think the whole proceeding is some flavor of sham though.

        Well I wouldnt say looks. Maybe feel. It would kind of look like a “simple technicolor light” to a physical body in the minds eye, but you’d feel a separate entity with you for sure. I’ve had this happen to me once or twice very intensly while practicing some home brew weird shit. It was kinda overwhelming. No one will ever be able to convice me that I was not interacting with something. It was 1 or 2 sperate, but one thing, and it literally threw a weird ass tiny ball of white string at me and all my cabinets opened up upstairs. I’m a crazy person. Proceed with caution.
