Newsweek
An ex-U.S. military and intelligence worker has given an interview in which he says that the U.S. has found and covered up several "non-human origin" crafts.
David Grusch, a 36-year-old airforce veteran, told NewsNation on Monday evening that a top-secret military program found the wreckage of fully intact UFOs, or "unidentified aerial phenomena" (UAPs).
"These are retrieving non-human origin technical vehicles, call it spacecraft if you will, non-human exotic origin vehicles that have either landed or crashed," Grusch said. He added that, in those wreckages, the pilots of the craft were found.

National Intelligence officers can also be crackpots.

(17,821 posts)about evidence of aliens. They're going to reveal these things one at a time in order to give people time to digest it. It's going to be a blow to religion, and that's good. But they'll come up with some shit to incorporate the aliens, too. I think a new religion will emerge, one that will encompass the cosmos. Maybe the government has to reveal these things; maybe the aliens have told them that we can reveal these things or they will.

(37,953 posts)Columbus revealed himself to Native Americans and how did that go for them?
Not so good.
Haggard Celine
(17,821 posts)But I think they've been coming here for a long time. They might have been here all along. It's a big ocean, and Cthulhu and his minions are going to rise up one day. Lots of underground caverns and water under the land. A being could hide out and never be detected. I think there's beings on other planets, too. I know it's been said, but that would be a whole lot of wasted space if we were the only intelligent life, and we're not as intelligent as we think we are.

I wonder if other nations have found anything?

(6,403 posts)Nah, alien spacecraft are found only in the US (for some strange reason).

(6,403 posts)the US seems to have almost a monopoly, at least now-a-days. There are one or two explanations for this which I will not get in to now.

(37,953 posts)Maybe embellishing a bit, but not lying.
Haggard Celine
(17,821 posts)I can usually spot a liar, and he didn't look like he was lying. The culture of secrecy of the Defense Department and other agencies helps them attack people who speak up and they make fun of them. None of these people seem to have any physical evidence, so a lot of 'experts' dismiss their claims. But I think a lot of them are being truthful.
Disaffected
(6,403 posts)you can tell people are lying by looking at them!

(22,240 posts)Also 'unite' for what? You think the aliens have malevolent intent? Extremely unlikely. We would have long known that. Besides it would be both stupid and disastrous for humans to make threatening gestures toward the aliens.

edhopper
(37,370 posts)There have been thousands of books and movies about alien visitation. Half the public already believes we have been visited.
The society panic idiocy is just a poor excuse for those who believe the government has evidence they won't release.
It conspiracy theory 101.

(6,403 posts)folks can rationalize their unfounded beliefs.
Yes - conspiracy theories. The notion that the existence of all these supposed alien spacecraft could have been kept secret for literally decades defies logic.

I'd love it if aliens came to Earth.
But TO DATE, none of this stuff has been shown to be real.
There are three groups of "true believers."
1. Crazies.
2. "The Cause" pushers.
3. Grifters.
DemocraticPatriot
(5,410 posts)They all seemed to point to the argument that earth's humanity
may have been "planted" on earth, by aliens...
and thus, the "God" and "Father" we should be worshipping,
is actually the aliens who planted us here....
Well, that would certainly fuck up every world religion on earth.... LOL

Yet another bullshit merchant.
Guess what? I'm an ex-military intelligence person. I'm not saying anything about anything classified, and that was over 50 years ago. Not a word.
I will say that I knew nothing about anything with non-human origins. Not a thing.
