    The whole point of an UFO is that it is unidentified. I don’t get how people instantly think that the aircraft is alien…

      Bingo. The people who are involved with this in Congress specifically have stated that they think the government is not in full control of US airspace. The investigation is to find out if that is true.

      Because the dude said the ships were piloted by non-humans, and that the pentagon took the non-human biological remains to experiment on. Like he didn’t outright say the word “aliens” but he 100% meant aliens.

        The thing I think a lot of people miss is that, if I’m not mistaken, due to his position he has to report on what he was told. It doesn’t matter if it sounds insane or he doesn’t have proof; his job is to tell Congress what he was told during his investigations. If he was told that it’s aliens, then that’s what he has to tell Congress.

        I want to believe it’s aliens. I think that’d be pretty cool. However, my speculation is that he was given false information by the military to try to make him sound nuts and get Congress off their backs. Either that or he wasn’t given the full picture. Just because something is non-human doesn’t mean it’s alien in origin. It could be unmanned drones that had mice, monkeys or dogs in them to test g-forces (not sure why you couldn’t use a dummy in this day and age, but that’s beside the point). It could be the result of some kind of experiment to use biological matter instead of silicon and wiring. It could be aliens. There still isn’t enough information for a definitive conclusion except that the US has had unidentified objects flying through controlled aerospace unimpeded.

          There’s also the guy who was squad commander and his tic tac incident. 4 sets of eyes saw it. Two carriers, the Nimitz and another one tracked them with radar. There’s a recording. I dunno, the guy seemed alright to me, honest. The tech in 2004, no heat emission, no wings, is out of this world.

      Usually it’s just a spy plane. Sometimes from the same country. Or a weather balloon, falling satellite, or just instrument errors. It’s never been aliens. And if aliens can get all the way here, they aren’t doing some shifty shit like being detected by friggin RADAR! Can you imagine how embarrassing that’d be?

      “Hey Quizlock, we heard you did some recon of Earth and the humans caught you on their radio frequency detection and ranging devices! How’d you manage that? Blast visual data at them and not absorb anomalous spectra? What an amateur! Now get back to reconfiguring the new quasar drives!”

      The dude under oath talked about non-human remains. In this case I think that’s why. (Not that I think it’s true or anything, I’ll need more than hearsay in order to believe).

      The congress person asking why the whistleblowers didnt use the term extraterrestrial was so cringe. This was after the part where they explained they keep an open mind for other theories like interdimensional phenomenon. Really shows how uneducated some people that hold higher degrees really are.
