        They did read the article. That’s how they know his allegations barely rise to the level of hearsay.

    The Republican party has led the initial charge, with a series of claims about extraterrestrial life that, until recently, would have been seen as career-ending.

    LOL, more distraction from one party’s inability to do their freaking job. It’s funny that 1) alien visitors cross unfathomable distances using what must be technology far, far, in advance of anything we have, yet “crash” and 2) These “crashes” only happen in the US, or the US quickly swoops in to take all evidence of this from foreign countries.

    tl;dr Americans are so self-centered and narcissistic it’s painful at times.

      Republicans are foaming at the mouth to cut medicare and anything else that helps people while throwing trillions at the military. This is a great justification for their dumbass base that will believe any conspiracy they are instructed to

      This is a bipartisan issue, Republicans and Democrats alike were questioning the witnesses, however I do agree with you that this is a distraction.

    My interpretation is that it’s mostly half-truths.

    Do I think governments and militaries around the world have plans for such scenarios? Like retrieving UFOs? Yes, this seems reasonable. Do I think they have run exercises and tested those scenarios for real? Probably, yes. Most likely successfully so. Do I believe that someone with a lot of hearsay could interpret those things as “holy shit, they actually found something”? Yes, yes I do.

    Is any of this proof? Nope. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

    The aliens look just like us but are attracted to positions of power and clearly have no idea how their job works.

      Quite vague. Nonhuman biologics can be anything. Grass, bacteria, mold, cats…

      Noneartly biologics would be more interesting.

    I have a few interpretations if this based on my limited understanding if it.

    I think the oversite committee has to hear him out. Ignoring a complaint from multiple members of military about potential misappropriation of funding would be egregious on their part. So they are listening to everything and trying to be professional about it.

    Now the cynic in me believes this is actually a genius way to push pulp. If this guy writes a book (assuming he hasn’t already) he’s just given himself enormous credibility and advertising at little to no cost. Loud enough to be heard but vague enough that he can’t be disproven or take on any accountability.

    But the conspiracy theorist in me just sees this as an attempt to discredit and humiliate this and other sub committee’s. Ammo that can be used to try and shut it down or prevent them from more serious work.

    Though I’m a Candain and only getting bits and pieces of this story so I’m probably way off base here.

      i watched the thing. multiple times they ask him questions that he responds with a willingness to answer in a closed session, especially about individuals and companies tied to this dark funding shit

        That whould definitely alter my speculations. Assuming we actually hear about anything said during this closed session.

        Of course he could walk into the closed meeting room emit a loud 23 second fart, then leave without a word. If the public isn’t privvy to what happens in that meeting he can claim to have said whatever he wants and never get disproven.
